Everyone in the US with a MAGA hat is deemed a "literal Nazi" who you're supposed to punch and/or imprison, but liberals see actual, real-life Nazis in Ukraine and either swoon with admiration, arm them, or call you a Kremlin agent for wondering if this might work out poorly.

It must suck to be a Nazi in Ukraine. They are fighting tooth and nail, blood and guts, for their Jewish president. Imagine the amount of cognitive dissonance.
So if you wanted to point to Zelensky, the fact that he was raised to speak Russian might be more of a contention point that his Jewish ancestry.It's both. Both points are contention points, and both make it clear that "Ukrainian Nazis" are a boogieman created by Russian propaganda. I said it already, but apparently not everyone reads everything: it's not that they don't exist. They do indeed. It's that they exist in numbers proportional to those in Russia. Or possibly in US for that matter. Just looking at Zelensky should be enough to put this to rest.
Not even the German Nazi's exclusively targeted the Jews. Only Zionists have pushed that viewpoint. The common theme between German Nazi's and all Nazi's who have followed is racism against anyone not of their ethnicity.

I'm not a Putin fan. I would not want to live under his rule in Russia.
But he does seem to be the enemy of our WEF/globalist enemies.
"Ukrainian Nazis" are a boogieman created by Russian propaganda.
I would bet you've even recently come to the realization they're to blame for something in your own life.I'd love to take that bet. For lotz and lotz of moneyz. Can you think of a practical way to make it happen?

Maybe we're a bit nicer here, so it's safer for you?Please. Not the "we". Not this "seeking group cover" thing.
To your question. There are indeed plenty of nice folks here, to which I reciprocate. Or make every attempt to. Keep in mind though: what's happening now is pure evil. As of 02/23 it got hard to be nice to those who actively and aggressively promote it.
Patnet has been accused of lots of things wrt the "housing boom," "Covid pandemic," "election fraud," etc. If people think that Patnet is about uncritically embracing the establishment narrative, then they are either:
a) very new here
b) an internet troll
c) sadly suffering from mental decline/alzheimers/long covid
d) incapable of using the Socratic method or logical argument
e) never really grew up

Patnet is uncritically embrasing Russian establishment narrative. This very thread is a perfect example. Not a single previosly sceptical cunt asked a simple quiestion about proof of any supposed Nazi atrocities in Ukraine. They just lapping up whatever (constantly changing) reason for war is being offered by Putin/Lavrov/Zaharova et alia. "They were about to attack us!", ... no "There are Nazi genocide going on!", ... no "There are bioWEAPONS labs there!".... None ...
You have not yet selected the proper response from the choices enumerated.
"Lots of footage of Nazi salutes"? Like it's hard to hire some crisis actors to pose on camera?
Same people who are certain that all the blown-up tanks and ruined apartment buildings is "CGI" are lapping up not even "footage", but empty assertions about "lots of footage" being available. Jeezus!
How about some real proof of real Nazi atrocities? It's been 8 years. Where the fuck the footage of "genocide"? Where the fuck are "mass graves", "lamp shades", "gas chambers"? How the fuck Israel is quiet if Joos are being eradicated in Ukraine? Mossad doesn't know?
Patnet has collectively lost its mind and is fucking ready to buy bridges. PM me if you want one.
Western media have attempted to all but deny the existence of neo-Nazis in Ukraine, alleging that Russia’s goal to de-Nazify Kiev is not possible because Ukraine’s president is Jewish. But what is to be made of an Israeli Jew openly calling himself the co-founder of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion?
Kiev’s infamous Azov Battalion, officially part of the National Guard of Ukraine, has been widely acknowledged as a neo-Nazi volunteer paramilitary force. It has also been connected with foreign white supremacist organizations. In addition to this, the far-right, neo-Nazi and white-nationalist members in its ranks have even been criticized by the likes of Human Rights Watch and the United Nations for human rights abuses.
Despite the well-documented history of racially motivated crimes and attacks on Ukraine’s LGBTQ+ community, the battalion has been indirectly and continually armed by Western powers.
In June 2015 the United States and Canada banned the support and/or training of Azov by their forces, specifically citing its neo-Nazi connections. However, the following year the U.S. lifted its ban owing to pressure from the Pentagon. In 2019, The Nation magazine published an article in which it was stated that “[p]ost-Maidan Ukraine is the world’s only nation to have a neo-Nazi formation in its armed forces.” All of which is to say that Azov can conclusively be labeled neo-Nazi. ...
Prior to Azov becoming an integrated part of the Ukrainian military, the group was funded primarily by Ukrainian oligarchs, the most well known of whom was Igor Kolomoisky. Kolomoisky is of Jewish heritage and is an Israeli citizen and well-known billionaire businessman. Despite his being a Jewish Israeli, he had no problem pouring money into neo-Nazi volunteer militias such as the Azov and Aidar, among other far-right groups that feature elements hostile to Jewish people.
Although the Jewish president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is often held up by mainstream Western media as proof that there is no problem with neo-Nazis in Ukraine, he himself received financial backing from the same oligarch – Igor Kolomoisky – who was financing neo-Nazis. Zelenskyy’s presidential bid in 2019, which saw him win 73% of the vote, was successful on the basis that he was running in order to combat corruption and create peace in the country but, as the leaked documents known as the Pandora Papers revealed, he himself was storing funds in offshore bank accounts. Zelenskyy’s campaign was at the time boosted and bankrolled by the Israeli-Ukrainian-Cypriot billionaire Kolomoisky – who was himself accused of stealing $5.5 billion from his own bank.

Acknowldeged by who? Same people who "acknowledge" Trump's supporters as "white supremacists"?
"A U.S. Army battalion includes the battalion commander (lieutenant colonel), executive officer (major), command sergeant major (CSM), headquarters staff, and usually three to five companies, with a total of 300 to 1,000 (but typically 500 to 600) soldiers."
