This is a funny story - when Bellingcat was outing Russian troops in Ukraine, critics were accusing them of defending "nazis".
Then Belling started outing actual nazis from Ukraine and Russia, on both sides of the frontline, and it's being accused of spreading "nazi hysteria" and libel.
An interesting complaint to a media watchdog (dismissed) that documents the latter.
Also a beautiful example of tribal thinking: maybe they're nazis, but they are *our* nazis 🤦♂️

A personal comment: for 30 years I lived in a district of Krakow occupied by two gangs of football hooligans.
They were the scum that I despise most: feeling strong only in a group, aggressive, randomly vandalising things, involved in occasional killings, trading amphetamine and steroid, then going to church on Sunday and posing as proper patriots.
Being practically identical in their retardedness, they however perceived each other as the absolute opposite and evil. Tribalism sucks...
