      Good example of how the "disinformation" discourse is designed to shut down necessary political debates.https://twitter.com/StopFakingNews/status/1509969311087185932 …

      ✅ #Azov regiment doesn't profess #Nazi views as the official ideology. #AzovBattalion members neither hold political offices nor have control over the large Ukrainian territories. They serve #Ukraine and protect it against #Russian military aggression: https://bit.ly/3uJMncN  pic.twitter.com/jLWG2TTx6b

      But it is misinformation to describe the Azov Battalion as “a Nazi unit” when we know it’s a disciplined military unit under the command of a democratic government.

      Azov used to be a self-organized far-right militia of soccer hooligans. It’s been reorganized and professionalized. At the very least, if you want to argue that Azov is Nazi today, the onus is on you to supply evidence of far-right behavior or even quantify far-right membership.

      You could always read the reporting that answers these questions, the kind that the original post implied was disinformation.https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/3/1/who-are-the-azov-regiment …

      I have read it and it’s profoundly misleading because it focuses almost entirely what Azov used to be like without grappling with the profound changes it has undergone.

      Is it possible that Nazis who now depend on military funding from the USA will down play their Nazis in order to get funding? (The history of USA support of "moderate" jihadis or other extremist groups is relevant here).

          Let’s see the evidence that Azov is acting on the orders of fascists to achieve fascist ends that are distinct from those of the Ukrainian government.

          Because if you don’t have that evidence, it really is misinformation to call it a Nazi unit. Because that implies that the unit is pursuing Nazi ends.
