Members of Azov and similar groups have had high-ranking positions in Ukrainian ministries, particularly after Russia invaded. Azov itself was incorporaetd into the Ukrainian armed forces so actually all the liberals at the top are doing neo-Nazi apologia now. Previously Azov was an independent neo-Nazi outfit along with groups like Right Sector (who also have various positions in ministries). Such groups carried out ethnic cleansing campaigns in Donbas, including shelling civilian centers for years. A blatant example is Vadym Troyan, previously deputy minister of internal affairs. Jesus Christ, go learn something before you talk about it here.

Have you considered that attempting to discuss the topic is a good way to talk to people with differing view points and new information they can share on the topic? Maybe the fact that other people are aware of other sources of information and that talking to them can be a good way to learn new places to find info?
That said, after having openly offered to learn about the topic probably literally close to a dozen times, you’re the first person who’s given me anything that even resembles a good starting point for research. Most can’t get beyond insulting me for questioning it to make it to “here’s a photo of 10-20 dudes in front of a flag that you should totally extrapolate to representative of a whole nation”. I’d appreciate if you could share any sources you have that you’d consider especially informative on the topic.
Notice that you ignored the content of my comment so you could focus on the part where I dismiss you. You have no interested in developing understanding or engaging in good faith and are correctly treated accordingly.
I provided you with specifics, with named events and individuals. You have no interest in discussing those things. Instead, you take this opportunity to whine and pretend that nobody is trying to inform you.
The other commenter engaged with you for ages, providing plenty of information for you to either (1) self-inform or (2) respectfully acknowledge that you don’t know this topic very well and that you’d appreciate them spedning the time to compile some resource for you. instead, you were combative and presumed you knew better about, say, what it means that it’s almost impossible to publish front line pictures without Neo-Nazi insignia.
You don’t “appreciate” sharing resources. YOu didn’t engage witht he resources I just provided you. Demonstrate through your actions, not empty rhetoric. Go inform. Go read. Ask respectfully for others to spend time assuming you are here in good faith, not punish them for the initial false assumption.
I bet this person would readily agree that the southern US states are run by neo-confederates because of all the statues. But when it comes to having a national holiday for regional director of the holocaust it’s ‘lalalala’
Nah, they’re very frequently racist as hell, but I wouldn’t brand most of them as neo-confederates. I don’t think there’s enough drive to reinstitute slavery to brand them as such. I think most would settle for just making white people a legally elevated class. To be clear, that’s still despicable, unacceptable, and a path towards the resurgence of neo-confederates, but that doesn’t mean there can’t be a distinction between the groups. More useful idiots to neo-confederates than actual members.

Liberals think Ukraine was invented in 2022.
