Wait, why were anarchists volunteering on the Ukrainian side of the conflict before Russia invaded? Like after Putin invaded I kinda get the logic, but that only really started proper like two days ago. Before that it was essentially an insurgent conflict between a neoliberal state and it’s nationalist allies and some ethno-separatists. What fucking rational do anarchists have for getting involved in either side of that conflict?
Call me cynical, but I think there's a certain variety of guy who just really wants a chance to kill someone else and will do any amount of mental gymnastics to reach that goal.

I used to work with a dude like that, scary as fuck to be around, so anecdotally I don't think that's a cynical position at all
I question the lefty credentials of any "anarchist" that joins the Azov Battalion I mean c'mon lol
It's fake.
