    the pretextual use of neo-Nazism to justify territorial aggression seriously undermines genuine attempts to combat neo-Nazism.”

    You can only fight neo-Nazis if you leave it at talking about fighting neo-Nazis. If you actually go out and do any fighting then that’s just counterproductive.

      I wonder what the Venn diagram is for people who argue for talking Nazis out of their views and people who support (or do the work of) planting hidden barrels wrapped in razor wire and barbed wire along the US border so that asylum seekers are forced into a deadly river.

        Side note…

        Are you saying there are people anchoring/sinking barrels wrapped in barbed wire along the US border as traps for anyone trying to cross the border? I shouldn’t be surprised, that somehow racists managed to disappoint me even further, but here I am.

      As always the atomic unit of propaganda isn’t lies, it’s emphasis and indeed the amendment is correct that de-nazification is a transparent pretext and the invasion is counterproductive to denazification. What is demphasized here is why it’s counterproductive; that Russia is/was funding their own Nazi divisions in Wagner, which must be ignored so that they can continue to not acknowledge the Nazi problem in Ukraine.
