Yeah, “Nazi” just doesn’t mean what it used to anymore. Especially now that *ANYONE* who disagrees with the “morally superior” and “culturally superior” viewpoints of the “woke brigade” is automatically (and by their definition), a “Nazi”.

And, unfortunately, they completely control the narrative, and almost all channels of communication these days, so...

Maybe if the Russians truly grokked this huge sea-change that has happened in the West, they would not have used a word that has now been robbed of almost all of its traditional power.

Pooty constantly screaming out Nazi as he invades Ukraine, this is for internal consumption in Russia. To rally the hapless conscripts, the army and the Russian population. Your son gets killed? You can be proud, because he was fighting Nazis same as Russians did in WW2.

Brainless Pooty propaganda, that probably works fairly well on the Russian people, who have no outside new sources these days. As far as I know, the only way to get Outside news is with a VPN + computer. Perhaps in rural Russia they have some old large satellite dishes?

Yeah, we can always count on “The Independent” for honest reporting.

It’s amazing how in bed people have to get with the totalitarians and fake news media to avoid the truth.

Russia sounds a lot like Antifa.

They label their opponents nazis in order to justify using violence against them.

Well they had a lot of trolls here pushing it and a fair number of idiots believed it.

Heavy overlap of Putin believers with posters convinced the Protocol EZ is real, ironically.

Putin will go down in history as the all-time world champion loser to Godwin’s Law. Unfortunately in order to do it he murdered tens of thousands of innocent Ukrainians, as well as his own soldiers.

Soros is an apikoros.

Which is the most dangerous thing on Earth.

Hebrew word of Greek origin.

Observing things from afar as they are, it is not surprising that the Russians would think that yelling “Nazi!” is your ticket to getting everyone in the US on your side.

I have no idea what Protocol EZ is. I am inclined not to care.

Soros is a satanic POS that should be run down like the monster he is, and the world should be rid of his presence.

Perhaps it’s because it works so well for Democrats. They’re are more Nazis in Ukraine than the USA.

This article has to hold the record for scare quotes. Its a cut and paste article about the history of Russia calling Ukrainians Nazis (which many in the Zelensky dictatorship clearly are) Not one peep about Ukraine’s long and unrepentant relationship with Hitlers SS, Stepan Bandera being their national saviour, streets, town squares and schools named after prominant Nazis, summer military camps for children steeped in nazism and schoolbooks rewritten after 2014 glorifying Ukronazis. Nothing about AZOV, AIDER, or Right Sector Nazis covered in swastika tattoos at every level of the army and captured Ukrainian positions with heaps of nazi regalia and Mein Kampf books written IN Ukrainian.

That’s all covered under Jerusalem Post’s euphemism “ right wing talking points…”
