Look at lemmy.ml and they're on the verge of calling zelensky himself a nazi.

Accusing a Jew of being a nazi. I don't even know what to say....

To be fair, it wouldn't be unprecedented .

Not really on the verge, many of them have been justifying the invasion because of neozasim in Ukraine, which is indeed a problem, but Russian born Putinesque neofascism is probably not the cure for it.

Just so you understand, there has never even been neo-Nazism in Ukraine. And there was no "problem"; this problem was artificially spread by Russia.

These guys rose in popularity because they fought against Russian-backed rebel groups better, so in a sense previous comment is right

I don't understand how the fact that those neo-Nazis gained popularity in the current war, makes the previous comment, that negates the existence of neo-Nazism in Ukraine, correct.
