Man, that's a lot of words for "Finland was a member of the Anti-Comintern Pact that was allied to Nazi Germany during the Holocaust, which they knew about because they saw Germany summarily execute people for being Jews."
This is a communist community, "Look they weren't really antisemitic, they just hated communists sooooo much that they had to ally with the Nazis" isn't going to play well.
Bullshit. Finland allied with the Nazis after the Winter War, and the Continuation War was started by Finland and Nazi Germany invading the USSR. There's no excuse to be made for Finland allying with the Nazis, even though many try.
Damn, I kinda wanted to see what this guy replied to me
I feel you, it's fun to yell at them
I didn't say it was a Marxist-Leninist community (though that's the bulk of the people here), I said it was a communist community. Most anarchists are communists. Anti-communists of any stripe tend to be (rightfully) ridiculed and bullied until they leave.
"They had to help the Nazis in the middle of the Holocaust, because they were just so anti-communists" is such a stupid, liberal defense of Finland's efforts in WW2.
Anyone allied to Hitler in WW2 should be executed.
Defending it and calling it a necessity is gross.
It was a joke you Nazi apologist crybaby
No
I know enough about the Continuation War to know who the Nazis in it were.
Not trying to make friends with someone who would defend a Nazi allied belligerent in WW2, I'd actually find it gross to be positively viewed by such a person.
Hmm, so weird, because
Sounds like you're saying it's the Soviet's fault that the Finn's had to join forces with Hitler.
Just to be clear you're currently stating that the vast majority of the users on this instance should be executed.
I have to reiterate that you're a Nazi apologist, and state that a radlib like you doesn't belong here.
Also, no I don't think everyone who stopped Hitler should have been executed.
Almost every word out of your mouth.
Liar
Oh fuck off, they helped Hitler commit genocide by distracting the Soviet forces that were trying to put the Nazi beast down
This feels disingenuous.
Stalin and millions of Red Army soldiers saved the world from fascism, saved tens of millions of lives, and prevented the attempted extermination of various minority groups, you little fucking weasel.
