Is there a Nazi problem in the Ukraine?

[Sand Dancer]

I wonder how that compares with the nazi problem we have in the US: There's a world-wide rise in bigotry so it's not surprising it exists in the Ukraine as well. It's certainly something that concerns me both here in the USA and elsewhere. And it's not just Jews but as we've seen people from China, South Korea and Japan.

ADL’s most recent Audit of Antisemitic Incidents in the United States recorded more than 2,100 acts of assault, vandalism and harassment, an increase of 12 percent over the previous year. This is the highest level of antisemitic incidents since ADL’s tracking began in 1979. The year included five fatalities directly linked to antisemitic violence and another 91 individuals targeted in physical assaults.

Assault, harassment and vandalism against Jews remain at near-historic levels in the U.S. The deadly attacks in synagogues in Pittsburgh and Poway have made American Jews feel more vulnerable than they have felt in decades.
...
In August 2017, the country saw a disturbing manifestation of antisemitism at the alt right “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017, where hundreds of marchers threw Nazi salutes, waved swastika flags and shouted “Seig Heil” And “Jews will not replace us!” ADL researchers identified more than 300 of the estimated 500-600 individuals who showed up to support the antisemitic and racist rally.

It's weird how things go in waves, and similar things start happening in more countries, like the mid to late 70s Islamic Revolution in the Middle East and the rise of the "Moral Majority" in the US. Do we know what set this most recent bigoted attitude off?

I'll settle for sanity.

Which country is qualified to bring us sanity?
BTW, Russia has its own nest of neo-nazis too.
Perhaps Putin should invade Russia, eh.

 

[Revoltingest]

Its not even about them

It is.
They've been squatting on Putin's land.

The minorities in India are happy. Only the Muslim clerics and Evangelist Christians are not.

Are you unaware that you're contradicting yourself here, or do you simply not care?

 

[robocop (actually)]

Its not even about them

I don't understand.

Are you unaware that you're contradicting yourself here, or do you simply not care?

No. I am not contradicting myself. Clerics and evangelists have concerns different from other people.

 

[Audie]

I don't understand.

Its where they are not who they are

 

[Kooky]

No. I am not contradicting myself.

Then you are simply wrong in your belief that Muslim clergy and Christian evangelists are not, in fact, religious minorities. If you want to argue that their criticism is illegitimate, then at least make the basic effort of coming up with an argument why that would be the case; or just accept that people aren't going to take you by your word.

Clerics and evangelists have concerns different from other people.

So you say - and, once again, you expect us to just take you by your word, without bothering with an argument, let alone evidence, to back them up.

You are writing about something that you do not know, and know only what Western media projects. Modi has never used force to quell protests. See the following:

Orange: BJP (Modi), Light Orange: Coalition with BJP, Other colors (Green or Maroon): Opposition.

India is a living democracy. These colors keep on changing according to the will of people. Currently, five states have had elections (including one which is most populous, 220 million people - Uttar Pradesh. That is the heart of India). We will know the results on March 10. Though exit poll will be available from 6 pm today.
