“Hey Siri, what symbol does Brenton Tarrant’s manifesto, the Buffalo shooter’s manifesto, and a disconcerting number of Ukrainian partisans, share?” I guess neonazis abroad are A-OK as long as they’re advancing US imperialist policy, eh?

And what, pray tell, does Ukraine have to do with any of this?
If you’re just here to make shitty whataboutisms (because it’s not like all or even most of the Ukranian fighters are neonazis, unlike what Vladimir Putin would like to make us believe), you might just as well say nothing.

Because to quote Dan Cohen:
A white supremacist murders 10 people & publishes a manifesto declaring himself a neo-Nazi.
Normal people: this is a problem & we have to figure out how to deal w/ racist extremism.
Disingenuous DNC propagandists: this is why we must keep arming Ukrainian Nazis to fight Russia.
Fun fact: I found out today that Brenton Tarrant actually went and trained with Azov in 2015, which just raises more questions about how seriously liberals take the neonazi problem. This is the one part of liberal praxis I have enormous trouble wrapping my head around. My leftist comrades and a few genuine libertarians I know have their ideas, but I find that explanation lacking.
The closest I’ve gotten to a good answer is from the great professor Chomsky: “There are no moral mistakes, only strategic mistakes,” in that if whatever you’re doing wins the day, the morality of what you’re doing does not matter. As it applies to neonazis at home and abroad, the morality of supporting them doesn’t matter as long as they do what you want; and as it applies to the likes of Tarrant and the Buffalo shooter, its that people’s civil liberties are a strategic risk that needs to be mitigated through banning guns and 4chan and Tucker Carlson (for some reason), since that’s the ‘right’ thing to do strategically.

My parents categorize people as liberal or patriotic. Even if the republican party started burning down churches, they would likely go “well, they believed differently than us so it’s fine.” People aren’t turning from that cult anytime soon.

The Grayzone, actually. Please do tell me how reading a magazine run by leftist jews makes me a rightoid. I could use other sources like I don’t know the entire western media apparatus before February 22nd!
Y’know after the one-two media clusterfucks over Afghanistan and Iraq, people would’ve learned their lessons about manufactured consent…

Look up the Wikipedia page on the site.
The website’s news content is generally considered to be fringe.[2][17][18][19] It is known for its misleading reporting[20] and sympathetic coverage of authoritarian regimes,[2][13][21] in addition to its denial of the Uyghur genocide.[25] The Grayzone has spread conspiracy theories about Venezuela, Xinjiang, Syria, and other regions.[26][27]

First: Didn’t they teach you in college to not use wikipedia as a source? They taught me that.
Second: Them having shitty takes in one area doesn’t discredit them in all areas. If that were the case, why are you still listening to media that swore through thick and thin that Kyle Rittenhouse took a gun across state lines? They didn’t even retract that.
Again: The who’s who of “trusted media sources” told us on multiple occasions how Ukraine has a nazi problem, so am I to doubt their own reporting due to its inconsistency with regards to that?

We were taught that Wikipedia was great for finding sources. That’s what the numbers are for. And if you actually read what I quoted, you’d know they are sympathetic to authoritarian regimes (which I’m certain would include Russia) and spreading conspiracy theories, which I have little doubt includes Ukraine having a Nazi problem (which goes with the former point).

Yep. I’m just waiting for the 1% to hightail it out of here and the politicians to be left to be eaten by the starving 99%.
That’s what capitalism does, after all. That’s actually a major plot point in my original IP, except they plan to intentionally ruin the planet with a pandemic and war

It’s the other way around in a first country, you need to make a case why Tucker Carlson should be in jail, what law did he break, etc.

The closest equivalent to Tucker Carlson we had in France would be Eric Zemmour on CNews.
The CSA (superior audiovisual council) infracted the channel multiple times (and Zemmour himself got sentenced to pay fines on several occasions) for hate speech, but they still kept him until he declared himself as a presidential candidate (because his show’s airing would’ve been accounted into his speaking time otherwise).

Russia may have lost up to 1/3rd of its assembled combat forces in Ukraine.
When you consider that Russia deployed a majority of its active, ready forces (note I said ready forces, not the gross total of all their combat forces) that accounts for roughly between 1/6th to 1/4th their total active ready forces on this pointless war.
Additionally, the Koch backed lobby group Defense Priorities recently expressed considerable skepticism to Finland and Sweden joining NATO. DP has, in the past, expressed pro-Russian orientation in regards to geopolitics. So this should come as no surprise.

Burning that much of your manpower on a war of choice is insane. If it weren’t for the nuclear deterrent, they’d be opening themselves up to any neighbor with a grudge–which is to say, all of their neighbors.

Regarding what went down in Buffalo, leftist writer and activist Joshua Potash really hit the nail on the head:
“This week really shows the absurdity of comparing the far left and the far right. A far-right white supremacist just killed 10 people in cold blood, while the establishment spent the week calling the left ‘too aggressive’ due to peaceful protests at the houses of the powerful.”
