I stopped after he was comparing Banderites to members of ISIS and how their politics have to be reactionary to defend themselves against invaders. It’s just a repetition of what the State Departments wants you to think of these events.
EDIT: I skipped around the video at 31:17 and he’s going like “WE HAD TO INTEGRATE THE AZOV BATTALION, UKRAINE DIDN’T HAVE A CHOICE!!!”. Literally the same arguments used to justify Hitler. This is the brainrot that comes from ‘realist’ geopolitical analysis, no opinion from the masses.
Also cites radio free europe as a source to dismiss anti-Semitism attacks. It seems like we’ve forgotten that a big part of the Nazi ideology was also anti-slavic so it’s simply not to say that “they cannot be nazi’s because jews are in the azov battalion” (ignoring how modern day Israel resembles much of Nazi policies in trying to make a settler colonial state against Palestine).
Zizek was always a hack that just read more than the average pseud. The moment he doesnt have Lacan or Badiou to fall back on he just becomes your typical fascist.
Ask them about the millions of japanese people spread across the western pacific and other asian countries who were deported back to Japan by the US. The simple answer is that displacements of entire people as a result of decolonization was happening and was a worldwide phenomenon at the time which unfortunately the Soviet Union was caught up in. Just take a look at whole countries such as Pakistan/India Malaysia/Singapore, Czech/Slovakia or even the whole African continent which is still stuck in perpetual war with each over. All you need to know is the Soviet’s solutions were 100x more humane than any western counterpact that had to deal with the same issue.
