I don't care if my comment is "normal," but it is "rational and source-supported." You're not "calling out hexbear users," you're flaunting your ignorance. Points sourced one by one:

It’s littered with monuments to Nazis and Nazi collaborators [*] [*]

its armed forces are filled with Nazis [*] [*] [*]

Tweet by the National Guard of Ukraine:

its leadership pays homage to Nazi collaborators [*] [*] [*]

and the entire reason we’re in this situation is the US-backed coup in 2014 of which Nazis were the prime domestic force [*] [*]

and which led to the proliferation of Nazi gangs [*] [*]

(illegal cluster munitions used) and repeated violations of ceasefires [*] [*]

they had specific demands for the end of far-right nationalism, repression of Russian speakers, and NATO expansion [*] [*]

NATO itself being a Nazi collaborationist institution [*] [*]

Lard is pig fat, which they use because it’s not kosher, despite most of their targets not being Jews. Nazism is vibes-based and seldom makes sense. Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. —Voltaire

It wasn't because the fascists thought they were fighting Jews (in this case), it was because most of the Chechen soldiers were Muslim, who also have prohibitions on using or consuming pigs. It was of course typical nazi-style petty racism, but it was specifically about targeting Muslims.
