Someone who's keeping tabs on fascists, are they happy about the liberals embracing Ukrainian anticommunist fascism? (hexbear.net)

I'd imagine fash and their assorted boater kulak brethren are happy about the liberal wing of politics in the west getting nutty with European blood and soil fascism, right? Not to mention now groups like Azov and Right Sector are flush with guns and cash, should make for some fun in the future.

we're correct when we say that concessions are merely meant to lull us back to sleep

I think that's often the effect, but not often the intent. Probably the biggest gesture to social democracy in the last generation was Obamacare, and I can't imagine it was meant to lull the left back to sleep because what passed for the left in the U.S. circa 2008 wasn't worth considering.

I look at it as "to what degree does this gesture open the door for more of the same"?
