Why should I provide more sources if you're just going to derail the conversation and then examine the coat of paint (news platforms) shit stains (like Nigel) are painted with?
You can fist-fight the air by hyperfixating on the source and keep on missing the point all day long, the fact remains foreigners and communism are the fan-favorite scapegoats of the majority of the Europeans.
If you had actually read or paid any attention to the video included in the article posted, you'd know that it wasn't Nigel pointing fingers at another politician for being "too communist". This isn't in defense of GBN or Nigel. It doesn't matter what source of information is used here, it doesn't change the established behavior of Europeans blaming every slight inconvenience/loss on foreigners, communism, etc... Why does this have to be spelled out for libs.
Just because it's not from your favorite mainstream source of slop, doesn't mean we can't critically engage with the material.
thankfully, I don't have to say much as other users have contributed a lot more in on this subject. It shouldn't be hard to find out how your opinions are vibes-based.:

Stating that Zelenksy is the sole reason for Ukraine’s destruction [...]
This is factually correct, you are right for once. There were numerous other factors into play that helped perpetuate this senseless destruction which warrants a nuanced discussion, namely the $$$ factor: Ukraine sits on trillions worth of minerals. US politicians want them.
No example of a “Russian bot” is in sight, and the remainder of your reasoning boils down to "These users are bots because there's no other reason for them not to be" (even though we know the actual reason is that they disagree with the State Department-sanctioned "opinion" of yours).
the blind propaganda is all the messages framing Zelensky as the cause of Ukraine’s destruction while willfully ignoring Russia’s huge involvement, or comments trying to imply he is hated by most Ukrainians
so blind propaganda here is just giving Zelensky a bad rap, which gives off a bad vibe. Why entertain and favor this vibes-based performative analysis over understanding the reality of the situation?
Provide an example of a "Russian bot" in this thread, keen observer. State solid reasons why they are a bot, and why their comments are "blind propaganda against Ukraine".
and blaming communism, despite the fact that there's no communism to be found in Europe
You don't understand, the U.S. was sold to Russia in 2016, then it was reclaimed and thanklessly saved by our harm-reduction, lesser-evilism enjoyer (very wholesome), then it was hopelessly sold back again to Russia just recently..
When the only thing you're exposed to is psychotic hairless ape behavior (Western imperialism), then the only sensible response to that is blistering violence. Otherwise, nukes and many other forms of deterrence wouldn't be necessary at all. To suggest that humans are incapable of understanding beyond violence, knowing that most forms of violence were carried out by the West throughout history, is incredibly ignorant.
Congrats on confirming that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
That's true, starting from this year. I couldn't find more information about this through primary sources of how tedious it is compared to your average long-and-arduous visa procedures that Global South countries are subjected to, but it appears to be a relatively quick non-process: https://www.axa-schengen.com/en/visa/visit-schengen/usa#1
The reason for his deportation wasn't because "he didn't have a visa" like the original comment purported as one of the points, or a lack of a visa-waiver for that matter. It was clear-cut "he's too brown for our liking" but with glitter all over.
If that's the conclusion you've arrived at after reading nazi-friendly content, then you're probably a nazi too.
Ali Abunimah was born and raised in the U.S., so we can safely assume he possesses the U.S. citizenship and passport. What does Switzerland's official immigration website have to say about U.S. citizens? Oh yeah, that's right, you get full-on red carpet drawn for you:
And if the state designates an organization as a terrorist group, then that's that right? We can just throw away our critical thinking (assuming we had any in the first place) and let the state known for rubbing elbows with nazis do the thinking for us, right? Piss off with that racist bullshit.
there are other things, where USA is dependent on Europe.
Please elaborate.. Last I checked, other than imposing imperial interests for the US' behalf, I can't recollect a single concrete thing that the US needs the EU for.
you were talking to someone who sincerely believes men should be castrated because they've committed the bulk of all crimes, I'd say time could've been saved from reply number 1.

yes, normally that would be dumb and stupid.. but guess what's dumber and stupider? It's entertaining this widely debunked copium, which is very much encapsulated with this dumb ad.
So glad Kermit the Frog's included in the monthly men's magazine as a part of your damning "proof", just in case anyone gets bored and wants to take a break from the US State Department slop you're serving
Here's an exercise for you that may require critical thinking (which evidently, you seem very averse to): Can you list out things that are invalid, dishonest and/or blatantly false in the article? Ensure to quote the parts that fit this category of "invalid, dishonest and/or false" and justify why, while citing sources that you believe to not be in this category.
