    The old issue with Azov had a lot to do with them receiving weapons and training from U.S. military prior to the full russian invasion in 2022. The backtracking and legitmization of the battalion in response is typically what people are most critical of. Seems silly how those optics used to be a concern.




  • The vast majority of Trump supporters I have ever interacted with in meatspace aren’t exactly fascists. There is a veritable sea of working class republicans that adhere to some of the most basic calculus of measuring their material conditions against others. They’re easily turned off by and radicalized against elitism.

    The fascists are all ones with means that are trying to increase their position in life and society, which is deeply incompatible with the vast inequality that exists in a society full of elitism.

    Simply: whichever political entity makes efforts towards working class issues gets power. Neither party is based on them.

    The bar is so, so low that even the fascists are able to take up the banner plausibly. They can co-opt any policy crumbs as easy, legitimizing wins–As we are seeing.

    Warhammer 40k lore is on the level of racism and genetic determinism that resonates with nazibrain.

    Every faction is a caricature and parody of some ideological concept where every member is obligated to live and die exactly as they’re supposed to.

    …I am well aware of wikipedia.

    And besides: even that link attributes modern internet usage as emerging in 2017, whereas I am referencing anecdotal usage from 2011. Are you under the impression the story I was telling meant I was not familiar with the word and how its use has changed?

    I just remember that’s what we called the de-facto bouncers at the bar I used to frequent. Whom I witnessed remove a few nazis. (The bar was not too far from the greyhound station that supplied a frequent supply of tan jumpsuits.) But this was right after Occupy Wall Street, so ancient history.
