You guys are going down the same dead end fascist path that the US has gone down

I’m shocked how many lemmy users think Nazis should be allowed to exist. Like, they forgot what they are or something.

Well doesn't this sound awfully familiar.
Russian neo-nazi divisions that took part or currently actively taking part in Russian offensive campaign:
- Task Force Rusich / DShRG Rusich — https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0954
- Russian Imperial Movement / Russian Imperial Legion — https://ctc.westpoint.edu/the-russian-imperial-movement-in-the-ukraine-wars-2014-2023/
- Russian Imperial Movement — U.S. sanctions page — https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0817

Then there is **Dmitry Rogozin **is a Russian politician, former head of Roscosmos, and former leader of the ultra-nationalist Rodina party; it is more accurate to describe him as an ultra-nationalist figure with racist and xenophobic rhetoric than as a proven neo-Nazi. Reuters reported on his participation in an ultra-nationalist rally where Nazi-style salutes were made: https://www.reuters.com/article/economy/russian-ultra-nationalists-rally-as-police-watch-idUSL28511451/
And there are many more cases of attacks and harassment by Russian citizens against Yakuts and other ethnic minorities who are also citizens of the Russian Federation.
Russia is not fighting Nazism - it is exporting it, funding it, tolerating it in its own armed formations, and using it as propaganda against others.
Shocker! It was russia? Who could expected the enemy of freedom and peace, who clearly wants to weaken the free world, to sabotage and fund unrest!? /s
