All forms of government are "Authoritarian".

My word, what is this anti-communist brain rot? Anarcho-lib shit.

What he says is that they’re going to retake the Crimea

Against the will of the people living there.

saying that children who have grown up in occupied Crimea have been exposed to Russian propaganda

They are Russian, they have chosen to be Russian. They are only exposed to their culture. They have no interest being part of a Nazi fascist dictatorship and neither do the other breakaway regions.

The International Criminal Court has been issuing arrest warrants for people involved in a Russian program

This is American propaganda. Russia temporarily moved orphans out of a warzone and has since moved them back. The International Colonial Court exists to prosecute the enemies of America and nothing more.

none of this seems like strange thing for a wartime president to say. Overall

If you agree that the Crimean people have a right to self determination then you not only see Zelensky as a wartime president, but an aggressor threatening an invasion too.

For the Azov point, you can just read the Wikipedia article

NATOpedia is not a serious source of information about anything political.

Because no-one believes that there's anyone still stupid enough to do the meme.

The blatant hypocrisy I've seen from Anarchists between Ukraine and Gaza has been jaw dropping. Flat condemnation for a people resisting their genocide, their resistance wasn't pure enough. Complete uncritical support for a fascist dictatorship with an ultranationalism rooted in Nazism.

Moderate guy.

Azov were more-or-less wiped out in the opening stages of the invasion at Mariupol.

Got a source on this?

Were all Nazis bad people and to blame for their actions?

Are all oligarchs responsible for their actions?

KKK members?

Sure you can make an argument of some kind of diminished responsibility due to low ~~IQ~~ intelligence, general ignorance etc. But ultimately we're talking about grown adults with the capacity of free will.

Ask yourself what it would take for you to exult in the mass murder of tens of thousands of little girls? What could people tell you to make you behave in this way? I don't think they even think of themselves as blameless because they think of themselves as supreme. They are entitled to cause massive harm due to being better, chosen, Übermensch etc.

It doesn't much matter to the kids who are crying because they've been told that their arms won't grow back, that someone who supports this happening to someone else tomorrow is starting to have doubts and might feel bad in the future.

This trade off of "bad feelings" versus the brutal physical impact of someone's actions is a common feature of settler colonialism in particular. We see it with the "loyalists" in Northern Ireland, with the Americans' about Vietnam (except only in movies), and it pervades Zionist supremacist propaganda today.

To blame, means to be responsible for. Are people responsible for their actions or not?

Pandering to itself?

"I can excuse genocide but I draw the line at being rude to a Nazi collaborating puppet dictator!".

Fuck these people. Too little, too late.

 
 

Ten years before I saw the light of morning A comradeship of heroes was laid From every corner of the world came sailing The Fifth International Brigade

They came to stand beside the Spanish people To try and stem the rising fascist tide Franco's allies were the powerful and wealthy Frank Ryan's men came from the other side

Even the olives were bleeding As the battle for Madrid it thundered on Truth and love against the force of evil Brotherhood against the fascist clan

Viva la Quinta Brigada "No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight "Adelante" is the cry around the hillside Let us all remember them tonight

Bob Hilliard was a Church of Ireland pastor Form Killarney across the Pyrenees he came From Derry came a brave young Christian Brother Side by side they fought and died in Spain

Tommy Woods age seventeen died in Cordoba With Na Fianna he learned to hold his gun From Dublin to the Villa del Rio Where he fought and died beneath the blazing sun

Viva la Quinta Brigada "No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight "Adelante" is the cry around the hillside Let us all remember them tonight

Many Irishmen heard the call of Franco Joined Hitler and Mussolini too Propaganda from the pulpit and newspapers Helped O'Duffy to enlist his crew

The word came from Maynooth, "support the Nazis" The men of cloth failed again When the Bishops blessed the Blueshirts in Dun Laoghaire As they sailed beneath the swastika to Spain

Viva la Quinta Brigada "No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight "Adelante" is the cry around the hillside Let us all remember them tonight

This song is a tribute to Frank Ryan Kit Conway and Dinny Coady too Peter Daly, Charlie Regan and Hugh Bonar Though many died I can but name a few

Danny Boyle, Blaser-Brown and Charlie Donnelly Liam Tumilson and Jim Straney from the Falls Jack Nalty, Tommy Patton and Frank Conroy Jim Foley, Tony Fox and Dick O'Neill

Viva la Quinta Brigada "No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight "Adelante" is the cry around the hillside Let us all remember them tonight

Inspired by this.

I've been trying to remember a song for months now. It had a really well made animated video, probably sort of in the style of Cuphead. I seem to recall a cartoon wolf in it. The theme of the song was about this unspecified thing that was "gonna to make you go boom!" and stuff like that.

The video was the really memorable part, the song itself not so much, which makes it all the harder to google for. I think it was French.

"It's gonna make you... do x y z"... sorry I don't have much more.

 

I can't find any reliable source of numbers. From before the invasion I saw Al Jazeera claiming 900 members of Azov, since then they've been wiped out a number of times, like at Mariupol. And then they keep showing up again and again like the Moe/Barney meme.
