    streets re-named after a fascist mass murderer, yes. so if the germans suddenly started renaming streets after adolf hitler, you'd dismiss that too. nothing to see here.

          Bandera was also a national liberation actor. One person who understands nuance could usually understand that national liberation actors tend to be lionized and their misdeeds trivialized. It happens constantly. Campists don't have a problem with mass murderers like Bandera, or Assad, or, Putin, they only have a problem when they're not in their camp.

          And for a national liberation actor, Bandera is receiving comparatively little praise, especially from the current government.

          This line of reasoning is therefore purposefully simplistic to paint a narrative, while of course ignoring the rampart fascism in the Russian aggressor who would of course impose a much worse form of fascism over Ukraine

          This chain of argument perfectly proves my point

            national liberation is when you collaborate with the genocidal nazis to murder jews and poles. got it.
