In r/worldnews there are thousands of posts wishing deaths on entirety of Russians, and it’s nothing new even there are constant calls to “nuke the whole country” whenever some country dares to stand up to United States, but saying Nazis dying is a good thing gets me banned for “promoting violence”. I didn’t even tell people to kill Nazis I just said if they die it is a good thing.

Reddit is in favor of fascism, and being against Nazism is against the rules there.

    The latest normalization of Nazis is not a turn towards Nazism in my view, but rather a similar situation for religious extremism.

    Many in the west cheer on “moderate rebels” like Al Qaeda and Jaish al-Islam. The western cheering for Azov is similar, they think they are “moderate” nazis.

      The “moderate rebels” were said to not have extremist views. These are Nazis, by definition they have extremist views. They’re not even denying that they have extremist views, just that it doesn’t matter, so I think it is tacit approval of their extremist views. This was not the case with moderate rebels, I think there is a bit of a difference there.
