    You’ll have to scroll and open some replies to see the cope, as by now some normies have updooted the sane “fuck the nazis” type comments. But they’re there. Lotsa them. Along with a lotta “fuck Russia” comments.

        I don’t understand liberal logic. When the Soviets invaded Poland alongside the Nazis, it was done out of desperation because the west rejected the Soviets’ requests of alliance prior to the war. Sure, one can denounce the entire USSR because they worked with the Nazis.

        But those same people who denounce it will move heaven and earth to excuse countries, armies, militias, volunteers, etc. who fought alongside Nazis, or are Nazis themselves - original or neo - out of ideological agreement.

        Grinding your teeth and pragmatically working with people who want to commit genocide against you = forever evil, no nuance

        Happily sieg heiling, committing and supporting perpetrators of massacres that even Nazis tug their collars to, and having so many Nazi symbols in your movement that your own supporters have to remove footage of and apologize for: based, psychological warfare, simply nationalism

            Take an ideal, like “democracy” for example.

            Bastardize it into pure simulacrum. (i.e., Ukraine getting couped and banning most political parties etc. is democracy)

            for example: rules based international order means doing whatever America wants

        The abstract fate of a few thousand Poles and Jews was not a significant factor compared to the number of Bolsheviks’ victims they knew personally.

        I wrote this as an ethnic Jew born in Kyiv.

        I know an ethnic jew born in Kiev. She survived the holocaust, and from her telling lived a pretty good life and raised a family in the USSR. As the Soviet Union was collapsing and antisemitism was increasing she moved with her family to Chicago. She traveled back to Russia several times, but never returned to Ukraine, which I think about a lot. Who wants to survive the holocaust and then still have to live alongside these nationalist shitheads, just waiting for it to happen again.

        Another irony here is that the mass slaughter of horses and cattle by Banderites in the late 1920s and early 1930s was one of the major factors leading to the collapse of food production in the early 1930s and the famine across the southern USSR.

              Cus the libs were told if they support plucky underdog ukraine that makes them the good guys like in the marvel movies.

              Love to watch libs write a thesis on why yelling “die f-slur” isn’t homophobic in Ukrainian culture anytime somebody asks for translations on combat footage.

              You’d think it would click when they start talking about how anybody living in Russia is a valid military target because of what their government is doing after living through the genocide we did in the middle east but the liberal brain is uniquely immune to self reflection.

        Who can say if he made the best decisions he could with the information and opportunity available to him? Not when the information was shit and the opportunities were slim to none. Ukrainian boys are being groomed for this. At some point you can’t discount the propaganda machine that stamps hate into so many foreheads.

        the world is now slightly better off without him in it

        Only after a cartel of shit-heads twisted his soul and tossed away his body. The world won’t be better until the engine of immiseration is silenced. No when the next generation of children is being lined up at the hopper.

          there is definitely something in the fact that he was only a nazi because he was indoctrinated as a nazi from a young age likely in a program funded by the US

          and as Stalin argued when he called for leniency for the Hitler youth someone raised in nazi ideas is less culpable than an adult that knew better

          that being said it’s not like he was executed and if a nazi is shooting at you who cares how he came to be a nazi

              well the russians didn’t execute him he died trying to kill people

              he also based on his nazi tattoos was probably in favour of the plan of fighting russia tooth and nail here

              I mourn the innocent soul and indoctrinated child ensnared and corrupted by naziism along with you but also that innocent core was part of what became a very dangerous man and it became a tragic necessity for him to die

              if he had been captured I would support him being reeducated rather than killed but there are limits to what you can do and it’s more important to stop him than redeem him

                That’s the nature of war. If he’d taken another 20-something Russian soldier with shit politics on his way out, I wouldn’t be cheering for that either. What they’re doing is nightmarish, but they’re just tools of the bourgeois fucks playing tug of war over the region.

                I mourn the innocent soul and indoctrinated child ensnared and corrupted by naziism along with you but also that innocent core was part of what became a very dangerous man

                I mourn the man he became. He was wasted before he’d died. But play this game and you’re going to end up doing the “Military Age Males” shit that Americans use as an excuse for genocide. Being some dipshit with a gang tattoo doesn’t make you dangerous. Not even if some goons stuff your hands full of military surplus and shove you towards a battle field. What’s dangerous is the fucks churning these people out.

                if he had been captured I would support him being reeducated

                By whom? The fucking Wagner Corps? The Russian rank-and-file? Its pure fash-infighting

                These people are human sacrifices. Raised like chattel and disposed of just as quickly. That’s horrible on its face. Telling me the veal you’re eating had bad ideology doesn’t make the factory farm that processed him something to celebrate.

                  he had nazi tattoos and was in an army with recognised regiments of neo nazis. And having a gun in your hand does make you dangerous. If he was just a young man it would be one thing he is a young man in an army

                  yes it’s very sad what happened to him but what happened to him made him actively dangerous to the ethnic russian civilians of the donbass and they also are innocents

Elon musk was born into his position and reinforced with all the prevailing attitudes in society, is it also not his fault for being a fascist shithead?

                Its all fucking awful. And there are going to be an ample number of survivors of this war who regret every moment of it. Many of them are going to have some pretty cringe tattoos they picked up in the trenches. Why should we be happy when toxic racist ideology foments war and said war kills the folks that adopted said ideology?
