    If your point of view is that you can’t compare ultranationalists who send dissidents to prison camps while invading neighboring sovereign countries and slaughtering their populations in campaigns of ethnic cleansing and genocide to Nazis, I’d thank you to unmod me.

      Yeah the ultranationalists are neo-nazis, no doubt about that.

      But the Russian government themselves aren’t yet to that level of extremism despite pushing the ideology in Western nations. Yeah, Russia is imperialist and invades their neighbours, yeah, you can argue that war is genocide, but this doesn’t make them Nazi Germany.

      Nazis believed themselves to be a master race, and so far, the Russian government hasn’t shown any signs of such beliefs.
