    Also an extremely inaccurate comparison because SS units like Galicia were volunteer only but Fascist Italy conscripted men of fighting age into their army. I refuse to believe that a professor doesn't understand the difference between being compelled to serve and volunteering to serve, so I must conclude he's saying this shit deliberately to mislead.

      Would you be surprised if I told you that the good professor has Ukrainian heritage?

        I don't want to imply that anyone with a certain heritage is inherently sympathetic to a specific ideology, but I would not be surprised if he had Ukrainian gusanos as ancestors.

        To be honest, Ivan Katchanovski is also Ukrainian-Canadian professor and he has been actively protesting all this Nazi shit for a long time. Of course, Western MSM ignore him and boost open Nazis.

          If he isn't careful with how vociferous he is, he may become the next Norman Finkelstein and blackballed by academia. Your identity can only protect you for so long if you rail against zionism/ukrofascism too hard and draw too much attention to the issue.
