In a tweet further down:

@KETK, the Fox affiliate in Tyler, took it even further, publishing TWO puff pieces describing Paul Gray. One is about his sad mother praying. The other reveals he owns a gym of some kind in #Ukraine. Nobody asks why a nazi is running a gym in #Ukraine.

    It's really funny seeing both the "Neo Nazi volunteers in Ukraine" praise paired with the "Colonel MacGregor justifies Putin's invasion" coverage Fox is also doing. Maybe there's two wings of reaction, I dunno. Would be interested in ppls takes.

      . Maybe there’s two wings of reaction, I dunno. Would be interested in ppls takes.

      there's 4 wings of reaction in America with respect to this issue. 3 out of 4 of them are pro ukraine

      :flattened-bernie::AyyyyyOC: succdems aka moderate fash (pro ukraine) - will acknowledge but downplay Azov and NATO shenanigans

      :DaBiden::hillgasm: libs aka center-right fash (pro ukraine) - will not even acknowledge Azov and NATO shenanigans despite knowing about it

      :frothingfash: straight atomwaffen frothing fash (pro ukraine) - will not acknowledge azov and NATO shenanigans because they don't know about it

      :confusion: pro-russia contrarian fash - will acknowledge NATO shenanigans, but only in an "anti-globalist" reactionary ultranationalist "America first" kinda way

      there's 1 non-reactionary wing with respect to this issue:

      Marxist leninist and anarchist anti-imperialists and revolutionary defeatists :lenin-shining:

        Maybe the reactionaries playing MacGregor are doing a, "Yes, Russia's actions are justified...and who cares: let's do WAR (especially to own the libs)!"

          There's a similar Bret Stephens opinion right now that's one of the most viewed that's like "This is how WWIII begins - why we should cut the brakes"

        You claim Nazis aren't leftist and yet why are they constantly at each other's throats?
