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 [*] [*]

No it's just thinly veiled Islamophobia.

Some fascists have an urban myth that since pork is haram, Muslims shot by a bullet covered in lard go to hell.

Chechnya has a lot of Muslims and Ramzan Kadyrov is the head of state of Chechnya, so "Kadyrov orcs" is a dog whistle for Muslims.

Ah I didn't know lard only came from pigs. I thought it was a general descriptor of like solid fats.
