  • copied from the Wikipedia page on the Azov-Battalion

    “The unit has drawn controversy over its early and allegedly continuing association with far-right groups and neo-Nazi ideology,[13] its use of controversial symbols linked to Nazism, and early allegations that members of the unit participated in human rights violations.[14][15][16] Some experts have been critical of the regiment’s role within the larger Azov Movement, a political umbrella group made up of veterans and organizations linked to Azov, and its possible far-right political ambitions, despite claims of the regiment’s depoliticization.[17][8] Others argue that the regiment has evolved, tempering its neo-Nazi and far-right underpinnings as it became part of the National Guard.[18][19][9] The Azov Regiment has been a recurring theme of Russian propaganda.[20] The unit has been designated a terrorist group by Russia since August 2022.[21]”




  • Just like the cop, you haven’t done your homework:

    "Per Doressia’s claims, Wilmoth refused to interview the neighbor who called 911 (and later recovered McKee’s phone and shoe) nor anyone else in the predominantly Black area because he said“all of them are on drugs and not worthy of telling the truth.”

    “The lawsuit accuses Wilmoth of not looking into any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death like the missing cards from McKee’s wallet or even recovering the recordings from Gardner’s home cameras. McKee further claimed Wilmoth used racist language and made her out to be the stereotypical “angry Black woman” when she tried to inquire about the investigation.”

    Seems pretty racist to me…




  • They may be different things, but they correlate a lot oft times.

    “From a large survey of 5,000 citizens of ten European countries, we showed that the prevalence of those harboring (self reported) anti-Semitic views consistently increases with respondents’ degree of anti-Israel sentiment, even after controlling for other factors. It is noteworthy that fewer than one-quarter of those with anti-Israel index scores of only 1 or 2 harbor anti-Semitic views (as defined by anti-Semitic index scores exceeding 5), which supports the contention that one certainly can be critical of Israeli policies without being anti-Semitic. However, among those with the most extreme anti-Israel sentiments in our survey (anti-Israel index scores of 4), 56 percent report anti-Semitic leanings. Based on this analysis, when an individual’s criticism of Israel becomes sufficiently severe, it does become.” (Kaplan & Small 2006, p. 560)"
