It's kinda pathetic that because of Western shitlibs that are so easily triggered by ethnonationalism, people that risk their lives for their homeland on a battlefield, against a larger army, must hide their beliefs and play it safe.
The reality of the AZOV thing is probably this:
- they're far right ethnonats, because it's impossible to be a Nazi in a majority Slavic country for obvious reasons. It's also retarded to 1488 with Westoids that are more prone to sympathize with Russia and call you a tranny lmao, not to mention the insane differences between furious keyboard warriors like TRS/NJP types and actual warriors risking their lives in armed conflict. Imagine Moike Peinovich and Striker going to defend the amerilands with an AK47 lul. So they are confused.
- they're few and far between, just like in every European army. It should be obvious for everyone but a few low IQ libs that hard right nationalists/traditionalists will be better, more dedicated fighters for their land.
- they are likely guilty of several atrocities and are not the nicest guys on the planet, but they are in a fucking armed conflict where they be killed/tortured/starved etc. if they get captured. It's us vs them, as classical a war trope as it gets
All of this lunacy exists because the West (and Russia, lmao) have constructed an identity out of fighting Nazi hordes. By extension, tribal affiliation is BAD, nationalism BAD, ethnic groups BAD if white, everything is xenophobic and hate speech etc.
This is a non-sustainable idiotic pseudo-ideology. Tribal belonging is of very high relevance in conflicts like the one we're witnessing. And men that lean socially conservative are the best, most dedicated fighters. In East EU, most countries are (imperfectly) implicit ethnostates - please check the demographics on Wikipedia.
This is really not rocket science.
