Y'know, considering they're trying to garner international sympathy, why is there no blanket "hide the Nazi apologetica until after the war" directive?

Even in the US, the military tries to nomibally keep a damper on that stuff.

The simple answer is that the regime in Ukraine is unapologetically proud of their ideology.

And that liberals rationalize it away anyway.

Why do Zionists keep posting and bragging about the atrocities they commit?

Social media has made this an impossible thing to censor, the average person doesn't understand how quickly their videos and selfies can spread. Same reason why you can see unhinged zionists doing war crimes or HTS chopping heads in Syria.

What I find frustrating about this is that if somebody found anything even resembling this in Palestine’s besieged territories, we know—we know—that the Herzlians would be referencing it for months on end as ‘more irrefutable evidence’ that all Palestinians are antisemites. In contrast, Azov’s very existence is about as important to Herzlians as a stubbed toe: ‘kinda bad’ but ‘no big deal’.

Why not just say Zionist then?

‘Herzlian’ is a less vague, less euphemistic description of the phenomenon, since ‘Zion’ has many definitions, not all of them referring to a physical location, and I would much rather associate ethnonationalism with Theodor Herzl than Zion.

I hate it when history repeats itself this way.

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 1 month ago

I mean, minus the "Nazis getting killed" thing.

That's the only history that I want repeated.
