You've got it. Ukraine is a little less black and white than Israel Palestine, so you'll see some comments that are anti Ukraine.

It's similarly black and white (although the scale of genocide that is happening to Palestinians is on a completely different level of course) if one understands history. Ukraine is full of Nazis. Russia is killing them. Is Russia a good country? No, definitely not and they should be condemned for all the bad shit they do. But everyone should be in favor of Nazis getting murked. And then we'll get folks like "well Ukraine isn't Nazis" to which I respond "then why do they all have Nazi patches." And then one would respond "those are historical patches." To which I would reply "from what history." Then we always hear "well when they were fighting the communists." The obvious question is "on whose side?" And that's where folks get angry because they just walked into proving that Ukraine is historically full of Nazis, and thats why they continue to wear Nazi patches. Ukraine could choose to distance themselves from their Nazi history but they don't. The only explanation for not distancing yourself from your Nazi history and instead leaning into it is because you're a Nazi.

Seems pretty cut and dry to me, but I'm not a Nazi so that makes me pretty ~~biased~~ based
