Must watch for any non-hexbear and lemmygrad instance users that are looking for a better explanation as to what lead to the Ukraine conflict. Spread it far and wide!
For a longer, more detailed analysis, see this video: https://hexbear.net/post/347122
Let’s do a little mini dunk tank in here and read this: https://www.thedailybeast.com/gravel-institute-deleted-tweets-reveal-a-progressive-groups-ukraine-meltdown
I’ll start: These dishonest little shits at the daily beast conflate the results of the Dec 1991 Ukrainian Independence Referendum with “how many people have a Ukrainian national identity”. As if that referendum didn’t happen in an incredibly tumultuous time in their history, in which circumstances (and a coup or two) had already made the dissolution of the soviet union very much inevitable. And you still saw 45% of ethnic russians vote for it in vain! But liberals are allergic to context.
When we say “they are a tiny minority but these neo nazis have been given disproportionate political power” liberals clap back “nuh uh they’re actually a tiny minority, also look at zelensky” when the video explicitly makes clear that these people and parties do not have majority support (hence why zelensky’s peace platform was popular! The problem is that he didn’t stick to it.)
Boy Boy’s video is pretty good too. And unlike the Gravel teens, they aren’t cowards that took it down.
That’s because they’re a boy and a boy. The most powerful combo.
Boys 😍

Imagine if the internet had existed during the Vietnam war? shudders
Colin Powell would have had to cope and seethe about how the tiktok footage of the My Lai massacre was deepfaked propaganda from Ho Chi Minh
No thanks, I’d much rather have liberals call me a Putin apologist, make weird sexual assault metaphors, and suggest the fight go down to the last Ukrainian like a Marvel movie
Never heard about hexbear but I guess it’s the place where absolutely lost people are screaming their conspiracy theories
screaming, shitting, pissing my pants. I’m so completely owned
ah yes, the conspiracy theories that can be found in broad daylight
Zelensky downplays the admiration for nazi collaborator and pogromist Stepan Bandera
old man shamed publicly, called a freak, for denouncing nazism
wow how conspiratorial that even mainstream sources were criticizing west funding far-right in Ukraine it before Feb 2022 events.
keep in mind U.S. famously funded the brave religious fundamentalists of Mujaheddin (
) to fight undermine the socialist government even before Soviets intervened there. Is it ‘ridiculous’ to think that U.S. is funding right wing clowns to fight Russia once again?
Thanks for dropping by! Please do watch the video posted above if you get a chance. The production value alone is worth the watch!
If you want some more information on the neo-nazi problem in Ukraine, here is a list of various western (BBC, VICE, The Guardian, DW, Associated Press, TIME, etc.) sources that have documented the problem: https://hexbear.net/comment/3728530. Quite a lot of watching if you’re interested! Enjoy!
