This sure feels like a trial balloon to see if people would be ok with publicly praising nazis.
If you have no idea who somebody really is, why would you want to take a photo with them? I suppose asking one staffer to maybe vet them before they are commemorated is asking too much?
The proper response is outrage that a nazi was invited to be honoured. Especially as a descendent of Holocaust survivors, the correct reaction is to be livid. Not upset that people are “politicizing an issue”.
Not even a staffer to vet them. Either Zelensky or Rota introduced the Nazi as having “fought against Russia for Ukrainian independence, during WW2”.
Everyone should immediately understand what this means, and especially a Holocaust survivor descendant.
Everything I’m seeing is saying Rota was the one to invite the guy, or at the very least his staffers. The Nazi lives in his riding.
The Hunka’s are fairly well known in the ukrainian community in North Bay. Have done a lot of stuff in Sudbury as well.
Politicizing an issue is when you take issue with parliament giving a standing ovation to a nazi…
Don’t politicize the STANDING OVATION YOU GAVE TO A WAFFEN SS VOLUNTEER!?
DON’T POLITICIZE WHAT HAPPENED IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS WHERE POLITICS HAPPENS!?
Goddamn am I taking crazy pills? Or am I one of the few sane people while everyone else in the NATOverse is sprinting headfirst towards fascism?
They mean something like, don’t break the fourth wall. The only politics that’s allowed is the sanitised theatre kind, where the two parties pretend to be on different sides. As soon as you point out they’re all ghouls and all on the same side, they get defensive because it shatters their self image. Ordinary libs are the same.
I always wonder what they mean by “political issue” because, in my opinion, inviting a President from another country to drum up support for war and celebrating a Nazi veteran in the House of Commons seems pretty damn political to me.
