    Russian nazis are a fringe and don't control the country. Russia has never been ruled by a neo-nazi prime-minister nor are they integrating nazi battalions into their army. Russia also doesn't have nazi brainwashing schools for kids. One of the greatest holidays in Russia is Victory Day which celebrates the triumph of the Soviet Union against Nazism.

    Get the difference between the two countries now?

      In 2023 Russian government organized a photo exhibition dedicated to Ukraine, positive side was shown and their heroes were respected and loved while in Ukraine there was a Russian book burning campaign. Russian government never posts or demean Ukraine has a race or nationality (yes they say the country didn't exist before 1918) but Ukrainian government officials regularly dehumanizes Russians like Nazis did in 1940. Get the difference.

        This is…an insane point of view.

        You’re talking about an occupier and the occupied. No shit their relationship consists of the occupier and fucking world superpower sharing platitudes about how much respect and care they have for the occupied.

        And as for the white supremacy problem being ignored? Well, yeah, of course. The media likes clean narratives. They don’t like nuance because they can’t make a hero/villain story out of nuance. So that kind of shit gets ignored for what fits cleanly into their chosen narrative. And then you get liberals actively fighting against the concept because it upsets their neat little worldview.

        There isn’t always a conspiracy. Sometimes you just gotta think a little.
