Obviously Ukrainians have appropriated the Indian real hindu swastika this time and a quote from Bhagavad Gita, but the channel is run by a Canadian Russian Nazi and the Indian who commented is also a modern hindutva nazi. Moreover the Western guys are defending the Ukrainian ones by saying they belong to Hare krishna movement 🤣

    To quote Caitlin Johnstone from a couple of days ago:

    “One of the weirdest things to happen last year was the entire western political/media class deciding to start pretending Ukrainian Nazis aren’t Nazis based on literally nothing whatsoever, just because it’s convenient, and a substantial portion of the population playing along.”

    It has been a very disturbing time to be a normal well informed person. I really underestimated the power of the media.

      That’s not extraordinary. People believe in tribalism, mainstream liberals of US and West hate Russia because putin is anti LGBT and Westerners were taught that Putin was hijacking every election with Trump.
