Shouldn't have said anything, now I'm getting paragraphs upon paragraphs about Putler and how the West has a moral obligation to prolong the war in Ukraine for as long as possible sad-boi

Also while apparently it can't be denied that the far right has grown somewhat stronger in Ukraine, the Ukrainian military had to rely on militias such as Azov so they wouldn't lose, we should not worry because they haven't seen that much electoral success

They (literally in this case) hold a gun to the government in Ukraine. They don't need to win any elections, they just need to ban all left wing opposition in the name of anti-collaboration (done) and then wait for the liberals to fuck everything up (happening), then come into power on a stabbed in the back myth.

Edit: The only way this doesn't happen is if Russia literally kills most of them, and even then, that will not stop the sons and daughters of these nationalists from repeating the same refrains as their mothers and fathers. The only fortunate thing is that the conscription age is still not under 27, so we are not yet seeing literal children being sent to die in this war like near the end of WWI. However, that does lead me to the idea that these new Ukrainian nationalists will not be hardened enough to take the government by force. They will be the soft children of American compradors, claiming the west stabbed them in the back while campaigning using western funding.
