     No, random yt online anon, I'm not watching your favorite nazlib video. My politics are informed by the Black radical tradition. Not breadtube.

     your average nazlib literally believes that people who think Trump is funny are worse than hitler and mussolini combined but militias in Ukraine with swastika tattoos carrying out violent pogroms against Russians are tolerant democratic liberals you can't make this shit up

     they did this to me too. i defended my mother country of iran and these racist nazlibs said i was not a real iranian. leftists will drop their wokeism and become white supremacists to any minority that does not fall in line with globalism. it's a façade.

     It's interesting how anti Semitic behavior is denounced automatically rightfully so because the Holocaust happened but Russophobia is considered a joke by Nazlibs even though Russia lost 27 million people to the nazis. Interesting.

     Reagan and North are NazLibs who brought Yaroslav Stetsko to the White House and celebrated him as the "last premier of a free Ukrainian State".

     Banderites didn't get started in 2022, dumbass. They've been in power since the 2014 Maidan coup where they were killing protesters with snipers. Even back in 2008 one of the early pro-NATO NazLibs commemorated Bandera as "Hero of Ukraine". Your mental gymnastics are historical revisionism
