Do you have a source for any of these three things? > were pushing for the OK sign to be classified as a hate symbol used by secret Nazis > Ukraine having 20% of it's army wear literal swastikas > Today they argue that [Ukraine swastikas] isn't that bad.

  First, "neoliberals" aren't supporting any of this. Second, your facts are wrong. The ok sign stuff was some very sensitive people pushed by foreign propaganda. Militias aren't the army. That's why they're militias. Like calling the Wagner Group the Russian Army.

  Thanks for replying, some of the assertions didn't seem right now I see where you come from. I didn't classify ADL as neo-con. The Wapo article does say there are a few thousand far right soldiers, which I think is well known, it certainly isn't 20% of its army. The last quote is post on HN, which I dont think is proof of any official neo-con policy.

    That user had said neoliberal, not neocon.

  That is why I asked, the points made were different from anything out of even the fringe. > Comical "anything I don't like is Russian" response. I agree calling people a bot is too common, but in this case Russians are the main people calling Zelensky's government and country Nazi.
