When you're so russophobic that you end up writing nazi apologia 😔 their contradictions are getting clearer

Libs: This is like WW2! Putler!!!!

It actually is like WW2 if it spreads (like if Ukraine launched missiles at Iran/Syria like they offered, or if Ukraine invades Transnistria, or if a Polish-Baltic "peace keeping force" moves in to reinforce Lviv and Galicia, or if China invades Taiwan, or if the USA invades Mexico, or if Iran attacks Azerbaijan when it invades Armenia, or if Syria begins pushing out Turkey/NATO with active strikes, or lots of other potential sparks)

Germany, Italy, Japan, Eastern European compradors vs. Russia, China, Korea, Cuba. Hmm. Hmmmmm.......

With this recent nonsense, it's hard not to believe Liberalism will be the death of us all this-is-fine

[-] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 51 points 11 months ago

This story should have died a week ago. How is it still going!!

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 59 points 11 months ago

The nazified liberals are trying to get the naive (but justifiably upset) liberals back under control, a whole-ass parliament clapping for a Waffen SS member was too much mask slip for the naive libs and now the scratched libs are trying to gaslight the normal ones into believing it never happened

[-] autismdragon@hexbear.net 12 points 11 months ago

Yeah like, a good amount of libs on Reddit and Twitter and stuff are legit mad about this. Applauding an SS member proved to be a bridge too far for some of these people, which is very hopium for me. Hoping its the beginning of a radicalizing moment for some of them.

[-] ProxyTheAwesome@hexbear.net 36 points 11 months ago

Libs just couldn't drop it and admit they fucked up, they just keep digging the hole

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months ago

Poland applied to extradite him. The liberals are waging a damage-limitation media campaign because they already know Canada is going to refuse this extradition and want to get ahead of that by getting people ready to handwave it.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Trudeau even gave a non apology, so at the very least he understands how bad the optics are, but liberals refuse to take the L and dig their mass grave even deeper. And they will put you in it for embarrassing them.

Opinion: technically he was from the wrong region, making him a sparkling fascist smuglord

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 39 points 11 months ago

He is WAFFEN SS

Literally the WORST part of the Nazi military outside of maybe the fucking Einsatzgruppen

Tying him to a car and dragging him down a gravel road at high speed wouldn't be too harsh for him

[-] wombat@hexbear.net 38 points 11 months ago

stalin shouldn't have stopped at berlin

[-] boiledfrog@hexbear.net 33 points 11 months ago

Wouldn't this be possibly illegal in Germany and Austria?

[-] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 45 points 11 months ago

Germany is free falling into fascism again. They are also pretty much West Germany so they've already rehabilitated Nazis once.

[-] boiledfrog@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago

I don't mean to refute that but they do have somewhat strict laws around nazi apoligia.

So what i mean, is that this article could technically be prohibited by german law. But i'm not well versed on this at all.

Yeah, about that...

[-] boiledfrog@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

Well fuck. I'm not surprised but still...

[-] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 15 points 11 months ago

they specifically loosened those laws to allow praise of Ukrainian members of the waffen ss

pan europeanism is just white nationalism

The only rehab nazis deserve is

[-] ProxyTheAwesome@hexbear.net 36 points 11 months ago

lmao germany is training Azov guys with nazi tattoos on the same fields that the OG Nazis trained on and giving them tanks. They don't give a shit at this point

Volunteering to fight under the Nazi flag under one of the most notorious divisions, and then your own unit becoming even more notorious locally that your parent division becomes nervous: Not a Nazi

Reluctantly invading Poland alongside the Nazis in order to stall a war of extermination against your country, only after pleading with the west to create a military alliance to fend off the Nazis and being rejected: 1000% Nazi forever and ever, there is no question about it. Literally Hitler. Literally worse than Hitler.

[-] zephyreks@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

That's what I don't get, right. The USSR tried to create alliances with the French and the British to address the German threat, but Stalin was basically ignored because Chamberlain and Lebrun were confident that Hitler couldn't possibly do anything bad (and they were making so much money so things were going well).

Hitler's Master Plan literally involved the genocide of Eastern Slavs.

How did that turn into "the USSR and Nazi Germany were collaborators?"

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

They were also hoping that the Germans were able to quickly invade Russia and wipe everyone out and eliminating the communist menace.

[-] zephyreks@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

Is that an established motivation for the French/British stonewalling of Stalin? If so, then fuck... That puts things in an entirely different light. I thought that France and Britain were simply operating out of self-interest.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

I’m not sure about France. But the US and Britain were definitely waiting for the Nazis to take care of Russia and leave the rest of the west alone

[-] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 18 points 11 months ago

it's been 70 years the verdict is in on the nazis

[-] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 17 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

But now you have a nazi boot in your mouth and are nowhere closer to the truth

[-] M68040@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

I have a mouth, I'm screaming, and it's not helping as much as I thought it would

[-] Teekeeus@hexbear.net 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

He could've just said nothing, and yet he felt compelled to defend nazis
