lots of minority groups have members who join their oppressors, it’s sad and disgusting but not really uncommon. like have they never heard of a black or gay or trans conservative or fascist?
In Zelensky’s defense he ran on a peace platform promising to get some kind of peace negotiations going. It was very popular, though from what I understand the popularity was skewed somewhat towards the eastern half of the country with less support in the Banderite heartland of Galacia. When one he tried to put his promises in action and found out that the president doesn’t actually control the country, and that the Nazi formations and their allies had no intention of allowing the war to be stopped.
i could see arguments for zelensky as a tragic figure, though the panama pandora paper reveals that he’s deeply corrupt don’t really do much for that interpretation imo. though i suppose depending on the timeline (i haven’t bothered to check) he could have meant what he promised, realized a bunch of hardened neo-nazi fighters weren’t going to take commands from a jewish man and then decided “might as well make some fat stacks at least”
regardless yeah i remember that video of some right-sector (i think? might have been azov or someone else, there are too many nazis to keep straight) fighters flatly telling him to fuck off to his face when he ordered them to stand down
Why what
I think they’re asking why a Jewish person would support Nazis
