I stand corrected. If your desire is to win an argument, you don’t get there by word terrorizing as you have done. Reading some of your missives, there are elements to legitimize but using “far right thugs” doesn’t win the day. When I have argued against popular issues, I have been fully castigated so I get it. Opinions are like Aholes. Everyone has one.
"Five years ago, Ukraine’s Maidan uprising ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, to the cheers and support of the West. Politicians and analysts in the United States and Europe not only celebrated the uprising as a triumph of democracy, but denied reports of Maidan’s ultranationalism, smearing those who warned about the dark side of the uprising as Moscow puppets and useful idiots. Freedom was on the march in Ukraine.
"Today, increasing reports of far-right violence, ultranationalism, and erosion of basic freedoms are giving the lie to the West’s initial euphoria. There are neo-Nazi pogroms against the Roma, rampant attacks on feminists and LGBT groups, book bans, and state-sponsored glorification of Nazi collaborators.
"These stories of Ukraine’s dark nationalism aren’t coming out of Moscow; they’re being filed by Western media, including US-funded Radio Free Europe (RFE); Jewish organizations such as the World Jewish Congress and the Simon Wiesenthal Center; and watchdogs like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Freedom House, which issued a joint report warning that Kiev is losing the monopoly on the use of force in the country as far-right gangs operate with impunity...."
I have presented the above quote around here repeatedly, and have met with a deafening silence, as if HCR's readers have been intimidated and/or morally corrupted.
How come you don’t display your real name?
Bill, his name is known to Substack Inc because of his multiple attacks on other Substack Inc Platforms.
Why should he? I don't.

Bill Katz,
Your criticism of my phrase "far-right thugs" makes no sense UNLESS you assume that it is inaccurate.
You didn't ask me for a source, but here goes:
