Wait, so you're against Russian fascists because they are invading Ukraine, but you're tolerant of Ukrainian fascists because they're on your team and doing your bidding? There is no spectrum of Nazi. Naziism should be denounced under all circumstances, at every level. You're literally defending Naziism while fascists are responsible for killing thousands of Ukrainians in the last 2 months. Also, people are punished in democratic countries all the time for hate crimes. Democracies aren't lawless. They have laws in place to defend people who fall victim to discrimination and hate groups, because civil society has agreed that people deserve to live in peace regardless of ethnicity, race, or gender. Unlike ethnicity, race, and gender, being a Nazi is a choice, and it does not command respect or acceptance. Fuck Nazis and Nazi sympathizers. Azov is an effective combat tool in this war, but that doesn't give them a pass. Also, saying "well they're defending Zelenskyy, and he's Jewish, so they can't be racist" is basically the same thing as "I can't be racist. I have a black friend.". I love reading the news in this sub, but the nationalism has left everyone ridiculously blind. Azov has fascist roots. This is well documented. They still use fascist symbolism. If you deny or choose to overlook this, then you are enabling fascism whether you want to admit it or not.
