In a tweet further down:

@KETK, the Fox affiliate in Tyler, took it even further, publishing TWO puff pieces describing Paul Gray. One is about his sad mother praying. The other reveals he owns a gym of some kind in #Ukraine. Nobody asks why a nazi is running a gym in #Ukraine.

    Oh no, please don't go fight in an unwinnable war where you'll probably get owned on day 2

    And don't bring all your nazi friends with you

      Eh...hopefully that's the outcome if they go. But we probably have some unrealistic expectations simply because it's the videos where people are discouraged/murdered that we're actually seeing. It's possible that for every one of those, there are 3 groups of people who are actually helping to support Ukraine's military and prolong things and cause more deaths. Probably cheering on anyone joining like this is not a good idea.

        Eh. I'd bet 1:3 over 3:1. These groups have been notoriously sloppy, clueless, and disorganized. How many of them even know the language over there?

          Sure. The point was that likely they contribute to harm being done, and that we really don't know what the balance is.

    It's really funny seeing both the "Neo Nazi volunteers in Ukraine" praise paired with the "Colonel MacGregor justifies Putin's invasion" coverage Fox is also doing. Maybe there's two wings of reaction, I dunno. Would be interested in ppls takes.

      . Maybe there’s two wings of reaction, I dunno. Would be interested in ppls takes.

      there's 4 wings of reaction in America with respect to this issue. 3 out of 4 of them are pro ukraine

      :flattened-bernie::AyyyyyOC: succdems aka moderate fash (pro ukraine) - will acknowledge but downplay Azov and NATO shenanigans

      :DaBiden::hillgasm: libs aka center-right fash (pro ukraine) - will not even acknowledge Azov and NATO shenanigans despite knowing about it

      :frothingfash: straight atomwaffen frothing fash (pro ukraine) - will not acknowledge azov and NATO shenanigans because they don't know about it

      :confusion: pro-russia contrarian fash - will acknowledge NATO shenanigans, but only in an "anti-globalist" reactionary ultranationalist "America first" kinda way

      there's 1 non-reactionary wing with respect to this issue:

      Marxist leninist and anarchist anti-imperialists and revolutionary defeatists :lenin-shining:

        Maybe the reactionaries playing MacGregor are doing a, "Yes, Russia's actions are justified...and who cares: let's do WAR (especially to own the libs)!"

          There's a similar Bret Stephens opinion right now that's one of the most viewed that's like "This is how WWIII begins - why we should cut the brakes"

        You claim Nazis aren't leftist and yet why are they constantly at each other's throats?

      I mean kinda? There are places where fascism is main stream enough that middle class people can be overt about it. The only reason you don't see Americans flying swastika's and shit is because it's considered gauche to identify with historical fascist groups. Many of the people with American flags slapped on to every inch of everything they own would be just as happy with the Swastika after a couple of months of indoctrination to rehabilitate the Nazis.

    I hope all these freaks spend the rest of their lives doing forced labor in 12 hr shifts rebuilding the destroyed infrastructure in the Donbas.

      Its fun to watch these dumbfucks charge head first into a meat grinder. But some of them are going to come back. And like a dog that's been given a taste of blood, they're going to be that much more unhinged and trigger happy once they're home again.

    That's excellent news - we should send even more of US nazis to Ukraine. Send them all there I say! :putin-wink:
