Thomas Fazi, who is concerned about the far-right, is using far-right talking points while citing right-wing outlets you've never heard of.
Let me get this straight, Thomas: we should be worried about the Nazis in the national armed forces (shocking, I know) of Ukraine, while the reaction to the AfD, a party with nazi leaders, chanting nazi slogans and spouting NSDAP apologia, which wants to deport undesirables (including German citizens), is overblown?
You’re right, that’s actually pretty awful and sounds like BS.
Not to imply that all other European neo-Nazis are teddy bears by any stretch, but there are concrete reasons to take the Ukrainian neo-nazis very seriously.
As seriously as all violent right - wing movements- very.
But it has been recently presented as an either or position: oppose Russian aggression OR oppose Neo-nazis in Ukraine. We can easily do both.
