If only the Nazis would capitulate, that would stop.

For years we were told that anyone who walked with neo-Nazis was one himself. Even if you repeatedly denounced them you were smeared as a supporter. That lie was the basis of the Biden campaign.

In Canada the appearance of a Swastika or a Confederate flag in large rally of trucker supporters meant everyone there was a white supremacists and lost their civil rights. Ironically the Deputy Prime Minister Freeland, who led the charge against the truckers, speaks fluent Ukrainian and was active with Ukrainian nationalists when she studied in Ukraine. Her Ukrainian grandfather was a Nazi collaborator.

We have real fascists using pretext of fascism to institute their own fascist policies. Fascists are cool again, but only if they are the right kind of fascists.

Yes, silly mind-reading exercises have become go-to source for western news reports about Russia.

Here are RTā€™s comments:

Eurovision is meant to be non-political, and contestants can be disqualified or fined for breaking this rule. Russia was excluded from the competition after its military attack on Ukraine, as organizers claimed they sought to keep politics and war out of the contest. However, the Ukrainian band will face no penalties for its statements, the organizers said.

Pleas for western intervention to rescue the Azov battalion is not political since Fascists are cool.

Ukraine should of been disqualified from the competition for being invaded by another country?

seriously?

Dude literally the entire Western world understands that Putin has invaded, bombed, shelled and slaughtered thousands of Ukrainians for no sane reason. For some reason you have decided to parrot Kremlin gaslighting that Ukraine had it coming to them because they are Nazis or some such nonsense. And now youre tripping on Ukraine winning a stupid competition?

Lots of great dance moves! :blush:

Eurovision is free to do what they want. I guess Ukrainian fascists are so cool that supporting them is now apolitical:

The ESC is a non-political event. All Participating Broadcasters, including the Host Broadcaster, shall be responsible to ensure that all necessary measures are undertaken within in their respective Delegations and teams to safeguard the interests and the integrity of the ESC and to make sure that the ESC shall in no case be politicized and/or instrumentalized and/or otherwise brought into disrepute in any way.

You have proof that the band are fascists? Care to share it?

They are far right in Eastern Europe and Ukraine. They do have influence, they are not in charge though. I guess the thing to worry about if they are about the far right is if things got real bad in the war and they some how seized power, they tried in euromaiden but did not have the numbers and failed.

Stepan Bandera is a complicated figure in the Ukraine. The odd thing is they were much worse in terms of nazi collaborators in higher positions than Bandera who sat most of world war 2 in prison. Granted if he was celebrated in the west the ones celebrating would be labeled nazis.

Maybe in the Ukraine some are ignoring the OUN group he was in and are focusing on his calls for a free Ukrainian state. Itā€™s an interesting topic if those are unfamiliar on who he was Wikipedia has a decent wright up on him and why he is a controversial figure.

They are demanding that foreign nations rescue the Azov battalion.

They are named after the hometown of Stepan Bandera, a Nazi collaborator.

Kalush Orchestra came in second in the original voting for the national contest and apparently won a lawsuit to get to Eurovision.

But no politics were involved since that would violate the rules.

Well, Azov is pretty good at killing Russians, and that is what Ukraine needs right now.

Yes, they have been killing plenty of ethnic Russian civilians in Ukraine. They have been doing that since 2014 with the support of NATO with virtually zero coverage in western media.

Here is a British report of civilians being Mariupol attacked by Ukrainian troops in Mariupol back in 2014.

Since then the Azov Battalion has taken control of the city. Here is their 2016 military parade through the city displaying US-supplied equipment.

Dozens of Russian-speaking civilians were killed when mobs of Ukrainian nationalists trapped them inside a burning building in Odessa in 2014.

The deaths are still a big deal in Russia:

Fascists are cool so long as they kill Russians?

Get with the narrative: Fascists are cool so long as they kill Russians.

Correct. That is the ONLY time. In this instance Russian soldiers are even worse than fascists
