Yeah well, “extremists” of what variety? Western media calls RDK “patriots who love their country and hate Putin”.

Then why kill the people they love so much? This is obviously russophobic driven terrorism, the cowards are shooting indiscriminately at innocent people, you need to see them as animals to be able to do it that easily. Definitely organized by NATO/US.

I was pointing out the usage of language and its intersubjectivity to create narratives, I wasn’t insinuating it was RDK or Russian Neo-Nazis specifically.

In this context the usage of extremist is null if I’ve seen Western news articles call actual extremists patriots and omit their extremist ideology.
