The Banderite fascists didn’t suddenly spring into existence at the moment of their 2014 coup. They go all the way back to the 1930s.
It hurt itself in its confusion!

He’s still the sole mod for [email protected] and [email protected], though those communities never really got off the ground.
Also, I don’t know what liberals you’re referring to. I’m a progressive.
As I’ve explained elsewhere in this post, unless you want to abolish private ownership of the means of production, you’re probably a liberal. The vast majority of both Democrats and Republicans are liberals. Progressive liberals like Bernie Sanders are still liberals. Sanders will say that It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism, and he’ll complain about crony capitalism and über capitalism, but he’ll never question capitalism as such. He’ll never question private ownership of the means of production, in the sanctity of private property.
Almost the only people who aren’t liberals are either socialists or fascists, and even fascists believe in capitalism just as liberals do.
Under oppression of what? Of CIA-backed terrorist attacks being suppressed? Oh the huge manatee.
Because when the vote was cast, Western Ukrainian Banderites were in power. Previously in this post.
This is all the more egregious now when Russia seeks to use a false accusation of Nazism to try to justify its unconscionable ongoing brutality against the people of Ukraine.

Khashoggi and MBS were/are both pieces of shit, so I’d shed no tears for either, nor for Bezos for that matter. A bunch of oligarchs who deserve the guillotine.
