I think they were saying the opposite. The gun obsessed military types you see in public may be bigots. SG characters may look similar bat are various races and not bigots.

Check out dry herb vaping, the safest way to "smoke" weed without combustion. Still not perfect but way better in every way.

Yeah, the last time I went to a chiropractor for back pain, they also "corrected" my neck which in the past felt good but this time it just immediately pulled a muscle in my neck and left me in pain and barely able to turn my head for weeks.

It's better now, but I'll never go back to a chiropractor again because of the risk of making things worse for essentially no benefit.

Yup, I posted a link which directly answered the question in the post title and I looked forward to the explanations for why it is incorrect. Unfortunately I never got to participate in that discussion.

Do you realize that only 0.5% of Ukranian forces are part of the Azov Battalion? But they are the group with the most active social media presence, providing most of the images that hexbears throw around. No one else is endorsing Nazis, they're all fighting to protect their homes and nation.

This Nazi scare tactic is a rather successful political-psychological tactic to justify the war among Russians who view the defeat of the Nazis as the high point in their history which they'd like to re-live.

Look, I can do it too. The Russian government has routinely collaborated with neo-Nazis in order to fight domestic opposition to Vladimir Putin, a policy called Managed Nationalism. The Russian Imperial Movement of neo-Nazi terrorists are allowed to operate and train militias within Russia as long as they don't target Russians internally. The group worked with the Russian government on the annexation of Crimea, the Russo-Ukranian War, and the War in Donbas.

I personally believe it’s abhorrent to accept and defend the use of Nazi imagery and propaganda, therefore we should reject any actions by Russia. See? It goes both ways.

Very cheeky. Don't fool yourself into believing that hexbear hosts fair discussions. I have always held discussions in good faith, in which I respect others and try to understand their perspectives. The hexbear debate style is classic bad faith discussions in which they try to dominate and coerce the other party into conceding. This is not the only time I've been censored on hexbear for presenting views that go against the groupthink.

In my offending comment I wasn't defending fascists, I was pointing out that most Ukrainians are not Nazis.

That commenter only copy/pasted Russian propaganda and a tik-tok edit of Azov Battalion social media clips without context. Only 2.15% of Ukrainians voted for the National Corps Party and after the Russian invasion of Ukraine they have suspended their political activities to focus on armed defense of the country.

That 2021 UN item linked is cherry-picked. Russia has been trying to pass that item every year since 2005. It is a thinly-veiled pretext used by Russia to justify its brutal war and to legitimize their misinformation campaign. Ever since the Russian invasion of Ukraine this has been even more obvious, look at the most recent votes on this item to see that the whole world disagrees with Russia on this.

Russia is co-opting the despicable ideology of Nazism for politically motivated purposes that seek to excuse new violations and abuses of human rights. In fact, Russia has its own problems with far-right extremists and instead of suppressing them, Russia tacitly supports these groups to suppress dissent and to promote it's own agenda.

Are you sad that you can't delete my comments this time?

You made some good points and it's fair to be skeptical of the link I posted. I also noticed that they linked to the same page, whether that's a mistake or international I don't know.

There is a working link on that page to laws which are intended to thwart terrorists but because of vague language they can be abused to suppress anyone deemed to be a threat.This is far from a smoking gun, but the claims seem plausible.

I see your point and it stands. Certainly anyone can lead a country down the wrong path and we don't know their true motives.

My point was mainly that the power structure is seemingly reversed, so the incentives don't make as much sense.

In most cases, Jews who chose to collaborate with Nazis did so to guarantee their personal survival, which distinguished them from most other ethnic groups who collaborated with Nazi Germany. It's not exactly a fair comparison.

I second your experience. Additionally, if you disrupt their echo chamber too much, they'll delete your comments and ban you. This has happened repeatedly when trying to have civil discussions like this one. They justify it as preventing misinformation so I have yet to see a fair debate on there.

Ironically, Russians think they are fighting Nazis in Ukraine.
