    For half a second there, I was like “yeah, so glad Lemmy is more rational than that site”.

    Few comments later, folks be talking about “Ukranian Nazis”…

      Hoo boy, you weren’t kidding. I find it amazing how quickly this went from “the kernel team is enforcing sanctions” to an an unfriendly abstract debate about the definition of liberalism. I shouldn’t, really, but I still am.

        I would wager that every country has far-right elements, including Russia.

        What Russia claims though is that the Ukrainian government is full of Nazis, which I don’t think is true.

          The wager isn’t whether countries have “far-right elements”. The wager is which country has a government that openly venerates a man who slaughtered Jews and Poles for sport. Maybe someday you will understand what happened here.
