It's good for Ukraine in the context of the war. You don't have to approve of the group itself. Also, who cares if they're fascist? They're already bad enough just from their actions as a PMC group.

The Wagner group are accused of committing war crimes, including rape, torture, and robbery. If you need them to also be fascists in order to condemn them, or think that the fascism is the worst part about them, your moral framework is fucked.

Also, saying 'Yeah, I'm glad there's internal conflict happening in Russia because it's showing that their war effort is falling apart, and raising the likelihood that Ukraine will come out victorious,' is not the same thing as saying 'Yes I love the Wagner group they are clearly the best.'

They sure are accused...

What are you getting mad at, libs? I didn't even add the main bit.

...by people with no reputation of being truthful, who are themselves routinely involved in war crimes, including rape, torture, and robbery. As well as genocide and plundering of entire countries. AKA the "Collective" West. Better known as the US&Slaves Inc. ^_^
