Azov got a grand welcome in Lviv, NAFO is celebrating hard

So I saw some pictures of the NAFO summit in Vilnius, and -- boy, was it eye-opening. I try to avoid making fun of people based on their appearance, but these people honestly couldn't embody the "needs to touch grass" stereotyple any harder.

We are in full history revision mode on this one. Watch anyone pointing out that Azov is a no-shit neo-nazi group get dogpiled as a Putin puppet

I hate Ukraine the more I hear about them

Is limiting nazism to anti semitism a thing?
- Yes, "it's not nazism untill they mass murder Jews" is very common take in the lib internet
- the war in the ukraine is a form of contradiction in capitalism, war is a form of capitalistic competition - right wing extremism grows when there is a low quality of life iirc as people wish to return to a time where everything was perfect and so they need to destroy the out group to get there (the time where everything was perfect doesn't exist).
  so if they can have a wonderful life after the war then yeah sure, you can limit it to anti Semitism. but regardless of who wins the ukraine war, you can imagine that the despair in both nations will be substantial.

Azov battalion about to go off

?
- These are two of the five "Azov commanders". On the left is the "Kalina". In captivity they swept the yard and washed toilets.

I think people overestimate how much Putin actually gives a shit. Every press conference or video or whatever I’ve seen of him he’s kept the same very stoic demeanour through it all. Except maybe at the one stadium where he seemed hyped up (and transphobic).

It's because liberals have cult of personality as the only way they can understand politics. So the only way they can mock or demean the Russian government is by projecting some kind of made up personality on Putin, despite being unwilling to ever read or listen to a thing he says. You could probably voice over Putin in faux Russian and they probably wouldn't be able to tell that that wasn't his actual voice. It's related to how they can only understand their political opponents as dumb/senile/angry/weak as that's the only thing they usually consider in electoral politics, actual ideology be damned.
His transphobia is not uncommon in the 3rd world and he is pretty much saying that don't use LGBT NGOs to overthrow the government. Ukraine and Taiwan have positive LGBT attitude that doesn't mean they are all good.
- lol, pretty sure the Banderites don't have a 'positive attitude' about me and mine.
- I don’t think Ukraine has a positive attitude towards LGBT people and just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s okay.
- don’t use LGBT NGOs to overthrow the government
  oh yeah all those LGBT NGOs just going around doing regime change, happens all the time /s

This is a great development. Anything that gets Azovites within the range of a Kalibr missile gets my approval.

Unrelated but that reminds me of the cope around the hypersonic missile Russia has, the Kinzhal. The US was coping about it (they don't have any yet) saying "technically all ICBMs are hypersonic at some point during their flight" lol
- I have friends who unironically believe a patriot missile system shot down a kinzal 💀.

It's so odd how much more courageous Houthis or Palestinians are while not having the world give it resources let alone sanctioning food but they don't get any support and veneration. I wonder why that might be.

In a just world every NAFoid would be sent to the front to be slaughtered en-masse charging through minefields.

A few of them did just that at the beginning, but sadly the bravado to do anything other than post dried up after a barracks in Lviv were hit with a missile.
