The Ukrainian army has a ton of Nazis fighting for it, and pictures of Nazi symbols keep popping up on uniforms. I understand that the Ukrainians know they’re in an existential war and need every man they can get, but it’s not a good look, and honouring actual Nazis in parliament is not going to help with keeping political support for continuing to fund this war.
Same is true for Russia, btw. The Wagner group used a lot of Nazi iconography as well, and Russia was equally ok with it.
There’s just a huge Nazi problem in both countries, and it’s definitely something we need to worry about. Having a bunch of Nazi’s with combat experience and potentially modern western weapons running around Europe is not something you want after this war. Operation Gladio showed what that can lead to.
There’s a huge Nazi crisis the world over tbh. It’s pretty frightening.
Agreed

This is just ridiculous - prosecuting Yaroslavl Hunka makes sense, as he himself was a part of a nazzi military outpost.
Prosecuting or using it as a political tool against Chrystia Freeland makes absolutely no sense as it was her grandfather (!) who was at involved in the nazzi business.
Blame granddaughter for grandfather’s sins…
I don’t know what’s going on politically in Canada, but this is just pathetic in my opinion.
Edit:
Michael Chomiak, Freeland’s maternal grandfather whom she’s repeatedly cited as a political inspiration
The link to her essay mentions her grandfather a couple of times, but never “cites as a political inspiration”. Just to give a historical context.
Terrible piece of journalism
All nazi apologists and revisionists should read
Are you trying to imply I’m a nazi apologist for simply refusing to punish anyone for the crime they did not commit?
What if you grandfather was a rapist - would you find it necessary for yourself to go around, admit that your grandfather was a rapist, apologies for this and suffer consequences?
Anyone who worked for or supported Nazis should suffer the consequences. She did not.
If you say a Nazi is one of your biggest inspirations you are not fit for political office anywhere in the world. Full stop.
100% agree - but when did she say that?
Haven’t you heard? Everyone on Lemmy who goes challenges the narrative, or asks open minded questions is branded a fascist and a Nazi.
Don’t expect civil discussion here my friend.
What’s with the nazzi?!
