God the US military losing all of its teeth?? I can only get so hard!!

Well lets just say the transition from Tsarist Russia to the USSR wasn't exactly bloodless.

I don't trust anyone making a big deal out of stalin. He was a pretty boring politician at the end of the day. The only thing they did that got him the reputation was be the face of the cold war and target of a fuck ton of anti-Soviet (coming from American Nazis, naturally) propaganda. They flat out made up shit about him even though, before the cold war, Life magazine literally did an article on him rizzing the USSR up as a bastion of democratic virtue. Case in point: a lot of the genuinely fucked up shit that happened in the USSR was Lenin, yet you never hear a peep about him.

It's either people buying into cold war propaganda and saying he's a bad guy, or people buying into cold war propaganda and saying "actually we like the bad things he did"

Because they turned themselves from a shithole nation into a world superpower practically overnight. The odds were super stacked against them and if it wasn't for them collapsing under their own contradictions (and a boatload of pressure from fascism worldwide) they would still be one today. Like obviously there's a lot of stuff I eeeeh at, but when you consider the hand they were given, they played one hell of a game.

The one reason everyone either loves or hates them all boils down to the fact they ended the nazis. Hence why all anticommunists are fascists.

Anticommunism is indistinguishable from pro-fascism. Source: Decades on the internet. I once gave a guy a chance just to see what would happen and about a month later learned that they were involved in a pedophile ring. Yeah, pretty much.

On the other end, just because anticommunism is pro-fascism doesn't mean they're beyond criticism. This is Russia's playbook. You gotta bash the fash regardless of where it comes from, especially when it comes from inside.

You should rescind your donation anyway, the moderators have made it clear that they want the place to become a nazi bar.

I looked more into it and it's even worse than I originally knew about. Jesus fucking Christ. Yep i'm out.

The God Delusion, written by open eugenicist Richard Dawkins. You guys wondering why the alt-right started from neo-atheism yet?

That could easily be solved by just removing competition from our economy. Lets just work together on shit, that's a lot better for everyone.

Of course they did. The entire world all said through their actions that they have carte blache to do all the war crimes they want in service of their ethnic cleansing operation.

Nah it's not wrong, you're just a fascist. Go post your fash shit on a different instance. I set up here specifically to get away from that.

My usual response starting with "Go to" gives me heck from the moderators so this is the next best thing.

NDAs are the biggest crock of shit ever and should be made universally null and void, yes, even in cases where they're valid. What the fuck is the point of having freedom of speech if someone can just coerce/threaten/force you to into signing it away?

Yes I am, because unlike your genocidal ideology, the "tankies" are actually on the right side of history.

Anticommunism is indistinguishable from profascism.

Rules of the internet: you can safely discard everything that comes before the ", but"

Upvote this to the front page so that lemmy world sees it.

Yes it me again, and I'm going to continue calling out problematic shit when I see it. Silencing tactics don't work on me because i'm morally in the right and know it. This combined with your reaction to my other post proves that your siding with nazism goes more than passive and i'm not going to just sit around and watch as you influence the culture of Lemmy towards fascism.

Reminder that Germany never underwent denazification.

Nazi meme format.

The fact you have people who genuinely think you guys are a free speech zone should be a very alarming sign you're becoming a bit of a nazi bar. You need to make these people feel unwelcome, and you need to do it fast.
