History holds those who spoke out against the Nazi's in a positive regard, not those who went along with the regime, except in Nazi societies! Before WW2 there were policies of appeasement on most sides for many years, only a few saw the danger. Focussing purely on the Jewish aspect is a distortion, saved in the collective memory while other details are forgotten. The core Nazi belief was they were the master race, others were inferior, hence they pursued their goals in a ruthless manner. The Jews were more affected because they were present in large numbers, others were also persecuted. The anti-semitic aspect developed as things went on, at the start of WW2 there were many high ranking Nazis who were Jews. And why should Nazi ideology remain frozen in it's form from 1945, neo-Nazis develop slight variations on the theme. So clearly it must be our duty not to fall into line with the Nazi supporting Western viewpoint that prevails at present, rather try to assist the oppressed people of Eastern Ukraine, in a pleasant manner respectful of the laws we are required to observe of course. In Western Ukraine that doesn't leave much if you disagree with the regime there, given the military law, suppression of all dissent and conscription in place. They even demand the removal of satellite dishes in Odessa in case people watch Russian TV channels. There is something disturbing about the outrageous propaganda coming from Western media coupled with censorship and various dubious coercive methods being employed, and the borg like one voice from so many outlets that had purported to be free and independent, so many nations unable to speak for themselves and provide the varyng points of view that would be expected in the normal course of events. We saw a little of this in the Covid times, the suppression of individuals who wished to present their point of view, or criticise the official one, although it was sometimes laughably inaccurate and factually wrong. The rule of stupidity, no arguments permitted. I've never taken conspiracy theories too seriously, the world is surely too big and disorderly for that much cooperation to take place in a meaningful way in secret, yet is there some dark force that has taken hold of the West? The liberal power structures might also be more vulnerable to corruption and manipulation from whatever power hungry cartel that seeks to gain control, so now it is the more authoritarian states like Russia which remain unaffected and thus in a strange twist of fate have become the new guardians of truth and honour. Or has the West simply lost it's moral compass since 911, increasingly pursuing selfish interests so now it reaches new depths, siding with Nazis and various terrorist groups to attack a formerly peaceful Russia? At least people retain the good sense not to nuke each other into oblivion so that is something.
In the UK some ISP's including BT block the Russia Today website, an easy workaround is to use the Opera browser and activate the built in free VPN feature. There may be a slight delay in page loading and it's best to scroll down to the comments first if you want to read them afterwards so they load, they might not later, if the page does not appear properly then reload it. So the Chinese preserve freedom of speech and protect us from censorship! Another method is to use Yandex as the DNS server but in my case when I tried that I can only look at a page or two before the connection is lost or blocked.
If you don't exactly agree with my views, don't worry, most people I know don't seem to agree with them either but we get along OK regardless!
