    The difference is that Germany is ashamed of what they did during that time, and their national ethos is never doing that again.

    Meanwhile, Russia idolises the imperialism of the Soviet Union, the only change is that some of their marches have swastikas as well as the hammer and sickle.

    Finland had a right to defend itself against the Soviets, and it’s not like the West didn’t ally with a genocidal mass murderer as well.

      Nazi simps, lol, just straight up using nationalist slurs while ignoring the actual context of the photo in question and having the sheer fucking GALL to compare those alliances.

      All while babbling about how “they don’t repent their history, not like our totally justified alliance with fucking Hitler”

      Yes, I know what that sopuli.xyz means, you hypocrite.

      The Winter War was one thing, trying to help the Nazis win an actively genocidal war was another.

        I’m not Finnish. And what nationalist slurs?

        The US helped win an actively genocidal war for Stalin. I don’t fault them, even though a US bombing run caused lifelong suffering to my loved ones, because on the Eastern front there were no good guys, and using one mass murderer to kill another is fair.

        All I’m saying is that there is no difference between the genocidal imperialism of Hitler, and the genocidal imperialism of Stalin. Both murdered millions, yet only one of them has a following in their homeland that is not actively persecuted.

        In the most of Eastern Europe, where these madmen committed their crimes, if you wave a swastika flag around, or one with a hammer and sickle, you are going to jail either way, as it should be. Just like in Germany. Why not in Russia?

          I’m trying to wrap my head around being so goddamn ignorant that I don’t know the Nazis planned to genocide or enslave every Slav as someone that lives in their future Lebensraum but the reality is you’re just full of it.

        Talk about hypocritical. Forgetting the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact are you?

        Russia are Nazis through and through. Their genocide, their imperialism, their standing up of the most horrific dictators around the world.

        Don’t you ever forget Russia would be speaking German if not for America and keep your bullshit Nazi propaganda to yourself.
