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
national liberation is when you collaborate with the genocidal nazis to murder jews and poles. got it.
Pithy sarcasm in the face of nuance doesn’t change opinions
Honest examination of material reality does on occasion change opinion, that’s what it means to have intellectual integrity.
honest examination == low effort sarcasm? Deeply unserious…
