Snip:
"Farion was a member of ‘Svoboda’ (Freedom), formerly known as the Social-National Party of Ukraine, led by neo-Nazi Oleg Tyagnibok. She expressed open sympathy for WWII neo-Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera."
Someone just shot her dead. Unclear at this point if it was anti-fascist resistance or a rival Neo-Nazi Banderite grouping that killed her. She was such an extreme Neo-Nazi that she even accused Russian-speaking Banderites of not being "true Ukrainians" and made many enemies.
While in parliament, she championed a total ban on the use of Russian language in Ukraine. In January last year, she famously told the media that her grandson Dmitry was hitting Russian-speaking children at his kindergarten. Several months later, she called anyone who lived in Ukraine but did not speak Ukrainian “biological waste.”
This hard line led her to clash with other nationalists. Last November, Farion said that Russian-speaking members of ‘Azov’ were not proper Ukrainians, drawing the ire of Maksim Zhorin and Bogdan Krotevich, two veterans of the notorious neo-Nazi unit.
LMAO she was too much of a nazi for Azov
The Nazis were too Nazi for the Nazis; I recall reading (okay okay, it was a youtube video; we can't all be nerds who spend our whole lives reading) about Hitler apparently getting upset that someone (in his cabinet?) engaging in historical study of German history because he was embarrassed by his ancestors who were (technologically) inferior to the Romans and the Geeks and didn't want it to be aired publicly.
Nazism requires willful ignorance to make it seem cool to its followers, similarly to for example the (gay?) division of Nazis who apparently envisioned themselves as being akin to the Spartan warriors of old and thought that as they had no interest in women, that the other Nazis would be free to pursue women with no competition from them and they would be welcomed. Their head was also a(n old?) friend of Hitler's and had not expected that he'd be arrested (by Hitler no less) and executed. Lots of Nazis who think Nazis practice inclusiveness.
that was Himmler, he got really into paganism and wanted it to be the state faith of the reich so he would fund expedition to research ancient civilization including old german barbarian sites, hitler became mad there was no evidence of ancient advance german civilization so he hated his archeological reports and would latter made up stories about how for example the spartans werent greek but rather aryans/early germans
how for example the spartans werent greek but rather aryans/early germans
This is mighty ironic considering that Spartans become showbusiness for Roman tourist and ultimately ran off from Greece entirely before the invading Slavs.
becoming an open air museum is the natural state of europe, it seems
While in parliament, she championed a total ban on the use of Russian language in Ukraine
When your party's name is 'Freedom'.
Angering the militant skinheads when your country is in the middle of being invaded seems particularly stupid
Then again, she
iswas a Nazi
Um, ACKSHUALLY they can't be Nazis, sweaty! They're Social Nationalists, not Nationalist Socialists!
-- Phrase I am likely to hear from my liberals if the topic of UKKKraine comes up
Are we allowed to celebrate this, or is the killing of a literal neo-nazi still the frowned upon sort of political violence?
If I could go back in time, I would've debate bro'd Hitler and voted for the other guy! Cue every as yet unborn neonazi being Thanos snapped from existence without anyone doing a political violence!
I think you can celebrate it/laugh about it unless the person had actual political power then you have to condemn it publicly and immediately concede to your opponents
civility intensifies
Anotha neo-nazi KKKracker down, unlimited genocide and all that.
Rest in Piss.
