      I’ll post one or two more, but if the tankie howling dies down, I’ll let it lie there. I don’t want to turn HistoryPorn into a place just to hate on the Sovs, but I also don’t want to contribute to it spreading a culture of denialism over Soviet atrocities.

        I mean I honestly don’t know what your game here is other than to make nazis look like the good guys because that’s the only crowd you attract with posts like that

        Nazis have always loved the chance to defend themselves in WW2, and white supremacists here in the US are probably the biggest haters of communism in this country, hands down. So if you’re not leading up to “nazis were right all along” then what are you even getting at?

        Modern day topics are fine, but stay away from WW2

          Acknowledging that Soviets committed genocide is… making Nazis look good?

          You wanna run that by me again?

            Cuz there’s clearly only two political ideologies throughout history. Nazis and Soviets. Making one look bad makes the other look good.

            That’s the only possible way that acknowledging Soviet genocides makes Nazis look good.

              gentle reminder that the Soviets were perfectly content with Nazi Germany until Nazi Germany invaded all of Poland instead of sharing it with the Soviets.

          That’s just not how it works… Showing the bombing of Dresden by the Allies wouldn’t make the Nazis look like ‘the good guys’ either.

          And I’m sorry are you gatekeeping WWII?!?

          Two unaligned parties can both be bad. Deprogramme yourself.

          You mean the time when soviets and nazis decided to invade and divvy up a sovereign nation together? Is that the war we shouldn’t talk about?

          White supremacists in the US think communism is when you pay taxes, some posts on Lemmy aren’t going to change anything.
