alright so I traced the neopagan thing back to its source, and it looks like it ultimately came from Radio Free Europe, an interview with a Wagner commander. Obviously not everything that RFE publishes is false, but it's not really my favorite source to rest my claims on. It seems like all other reporting on Utkin being a neopagan comes from there. If you want to take a look, here (it's archived).
I think the neo-Nazi stuff rests on more solid ground though
The neopagan religion stuff (which is a pretty good signifier of neo-nazi ideology) and Wagner stuff does not come from the photo. There is evidence that he is a Nazi that has nothing to do with the photo. Idk, I feel pretty confident saying he's a Nazi.
Dmitry Utkin (who was also on the plane) is definitely a nazi, and Wagner has a lot of links to far-right elements in Russia. Wagner itself is supposed to reference Richard Wagner, Hitler's favorite composer
so Prigozhin is definitely in bed with nazis but idk anything about his actual beliefs

TIL history doesn't matter because we're all self-contained individuals who make decisions free from the influence of any wider "society" (which doesn't exist btw)
Goddamn it's like you libs never left 2003. "The issues in the middle east are due to Islam." Just say you hate muslims dawg, I'm sure you'll find plenty of liberals here who share your backwards views.
Blaming the creation of a new law on anybody except the lawmakers is a pretty shit take, but blaming it on 150 year old colonialism is actually infantilistic I'm historically illiterate
it literally says in that story
