Neo-Nazism’s rise in Ukraine is due to the silent approval of Ukraine’s political and military elites who prefer to turn a blind eye because they rely on the far-right for their military potential, Ukrainian academic Marta Havryshko tells Natylie Baldwin. By Natylie Baldwin Special to Consor
i used to struggle to understand why americans refused to see that the ukrainian far right is so empowered until i came to lemmy and see the election results; now i understand that we’ve been punching left for so long that the the right seems reasonable.
Probably because the party politics of a particular country do not ever justify the military invasion of said country.
@eldavi @badwetter Not to mention that the extreme left’s virtue signalling, and support of indentity politics and gender atroctities such as alowing biological males compete against women, turned many centre left people off. I’m one of them. Free speech used to be the domain of the left, now the left is against that, and the right is championing it. The centre right AFAIC is the NEW left. YMMV
