The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

My mom was just telling me a while ago about how one of her uncles was tortured by the communists after they came to power. Small note: he was a member of the legionnaires, so I can relate to this meme.

Didn't know the Cambodians, Polish, Kalmyks, Kazakhs, Tatars, Ukrainians, Anarchists, Left SRs, Trotskyists and Peasants were all Nazis. Must be fun to live in that world.

The Finns who died defending their homeland from naked, opportunistic Soviet imperialism also wish to say hi.

Have you ever – even once – thought that if:

  • The USSR hadn't started the Winter War under the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact it signed on friendly terms with Nazi Germany to grab more land while the rest of Europe wasn't in a position to help, killing and wounding tens of thousands of Finns
  • The USSR hadn't stolen 10% of Finland's land in exchange for what can generously be described as a "promise" of peace
  • The USSR hadn't scuttled Finland's attempts afterward to develop a defensive pact with Norway and Sweden
  • The USSR hadn't invaded and absorbed the Baltic states as part of the same pact with Nazi Germany
  • The USSR hadn't demanded mineral rights already given to the UK and then instigated riots in Finland when they didn't get what they wanted
  • The USSR hadn't interfered with the December 1940 Finnish election
  • The USSR had offered to return Finland's land when it realized "oh no, the consequences of my own actions: Finland is allied militarily with Nazi Germany now."
  • The USSR had been on friendly terms with Finland instead of giving them what every serious historian describes as no realistic opportunity not to ally with Germany

That maybe they wouldn't have been forced to ally with Germany in the Continuation War? That Finland might have remained neutral or even joined in with the Allies which the Soviets were a part of? You can even look in the article you're linking to:

As a part of the pact, Nazi SS chief Heinrich Himmler insisted that the Finns dispatch [1408] soldiers to the SS Wiking division similar to the volunteers it demanded from Nazi-occupied Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and elsewhere.

Reluctantly, Finns complied and covertly recruited the first group of 400 SS volunteers to be sent for training.

The leading Finnish military historians who undertook the probe into the country's wartime role wrote that those Finnish troops likely witnessed shootings and other atrocities against Jews and other civilians by advancing Nazi troops.

This was all done reluctantly. The Finns had no ideological alignment with the Nazis; it was done purely out of necessity because of the USSR's – again – nakedly imperialist actions. You have zero intellectual integrity. None. Your rhetoric relies not on a convincing argument but on the reader's ignorance. And I'm not even a little surprised to see you sticking up for Putin's genocidal invasion of Ukraine elsewhere.


Edit: Also, where the hell did "only doing it to fight communism" come from? I said the exact opposite: that they were doing it in self-defense against Soviet imperialist aggression. What?

thanks I don't read revisionism and lies

>"I don't read revisionism and lies"

>Quoting the article you fucking linked to and didn't read past the headline

[-] Bloomcole@lemm.ee 2 points 14 hours ago

your interpretation of an article and cherrypicking
And the headline is all that matters.

Certainly not: FINNISH military historians who undertook the probe into the country’s wartime role wrote... as if those nazi whitewashers are neutral.
You had a swastika on your luftwaffe until 2017 FFS.
And your BS answer undoubtedly is: but it was before Hitler used it!
Again not interested in your revisionism, you were nazis then and still have plenty now. Awful people.
Not so different from the Balts, at least they are proud of their nazi past and have remembrances, like the Ukros.
Get over it and live with it

First they came for the grandfathers and I did not speak out, for my grandfather was a Nazi.

[-] daepicgamerbro69@lemmy.world 84 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Such a profoundly dense thing to post, it could have only been made up by an American. How can anyone have such compartmentilized view of history is truly beyond me, unless of course they are incredibly ignorant or some kind of Putin's lapdog, like Medvyedev, actively engaged in the denial of atrocites.

The grandfather:

Georgi Markov, Bulgarian screenwriter, poisoned by the secret police.

Jan Zahradníček, Czech poet and writer bound to a wheelchair. Absolutely of no threat to the regime. Tortured and killed.

The 22 000 Polish grandfathers and potentional grandfathers killed simply for the crime of not being born Russian:

Katyn massacre

Fuck fascists, fucking kill them. That includes the officials of whatever totalitarian communist regime you think is "a vibe"

Two things are true at once:

  • They did crimes
  • They fought even bigger criminals

And two things are true at once:

  • Descendants of their innocent victims consider them monsters, and they are correct and valid.
  • Descendants of the even bigger criminals that got "neutralized" hide among the other category, and they are dishonest.

Fuck all fascists and fuck all communists.
When your ideology justifies genocide it means your ideology is pure evil.

[-] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

You advocating for Democrats makes you a supporter of that fascism. 50 years of liberal 'lesser evil' was actually incremental fascism

[-] slashasdf@feddit.nl 3 points 11 hours ago

I am not an American, I am not advocating for your Democractic Party at all. Both of your parties are supporting the genocide in Gaza.

And there are no alternative parties that have a chance to govern, your country is fucking broken.

Checks notes on Communism...

Doesn't say anything about genocide here chief.
