    a lot of these were renamed after bandera recently, which shows that banderite ideology has full state backing, but sure, it’s just a few bad apples.

        streets re-named after a fascist mass murderer, yes. so if the germans suddenly started renaming streets after adolf hitler, you’d dismiss that too. nothing to see here.

              Bandera was also a national liberation actor. One person who understands nuance could usually understand that national liberation actors tend to be lionized and their misdeeds trivialized. It happens constantly. Campists don’t have a problem with mass murderers like Bandera, or Assad, or, Putin, they only have a problem when they’re not in their camp.

              And for a national liberation actor, Bandera is receiving comparatively little praise, especially from the current government.

              This line of reasoning is therefore purposefully simplistic to paint a narrative, while of course ignoring the rampart fascism in the Russian aggressor who would of course impose a much worse form of fascism over Ukraine

              This chain of argument perfectly proves my point
