Context: Blizzard Entertainment has put in their shop a "charity bundle" for Ukraine. I haven't looked that deeply into it but my thoughts are it's promoted by Mila Kunis (liberal celebrity) and probably funnels money to the corrupt Ukrainian regime.

While helping the Ukrainian people is obviously not wrong, this company also chose to cut off the Russian people from their services, basically pointing a gun at them and telling them they can only have their treats back when they overthrow their government. So if the Russian people are to be held to account for the alleged problems of their government and collectively punished, why not the Ukrainian people? Seems hypocritical and it is predicated on the denial of Nazism and the fascism of the Ukraine regime.

It is after all in many ways nothing more then colonialism turned on white people.

I can tell that you are intentionally simplifying the matter, so I’m probably just stating the obvious, but I really feel like mentioning that substantial numbers of Fascism’s victims were not white: East Africans (e.g. Ethiopians), North Africans (e.g. Libyans), African‐Europeans, Roma, Sinti, and more.

Sure it also occurred because capitalism was in distress and the bourgeoisie conjured it up against the reds and liberals saw it as preferable to communism.

While it is true that both Germany and Italy had substantial communist movements which the Fascists destroyed, revolution was unlikely. Capitalism was indeed in distress, though.

I agree with everything else that you said.
