      One thing I do miss about pre-internet era is that neo-Nazis and other groups like them didn’t have much of a platform, at least not in the 80s when I grew up.

      Now I’ve seen peopl who even oppose deplatforming them in some twisted notion of “free speech,” and major news outlets spreading their opinions like the plague.

      I agree with you. We shouldn’t care. Just punch the Nazis and get on with our day.

    For its part, the Kremlin has been a relentless recruiter of neo-Nazis to its cause; the co-founder of the mercenary Wagner Group, Dmitry Utkin, not only named his organization after the Third Reich’s favorite composer but had the logo for the Waffen-SS tattooed on both sides of his neck

    In before OP tries to spin this as “Ukraine bad” rather than the reality that there are a portion of Nazis on both sides of the front line.
