Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
As a communist, it's a remarkable feeling shouting to the wind about the self-evident Nazification of Ukraine and the support by the West for its fascist client states, while being called a Russian bot in the flesh, only to then have every point you've made been proven utterly correct and for no-one to recognise it even when they have to clean up after themselves after having shit the bed.
Oh wait it's called Cassandra complex.
im about to lose my fucking mind lol. i am actually thinking it's time to put down the internet for good, even hexbear, because seeing all this nazi apologia even for dunking on is too much.
it makes sense that the unique significance of nazi germany would get muddled a bit over the generations, but holy shit, im in my mid thirties and "the soviets were worse than the nazis and joining the ss is sometimes a necessary thing "is a mainstream media opinion. we have and will not learn anything. im gonna puke if i read another one of these fucking articles or tweets.
I know what you mean, this event feels different for me. I mean the impact it has on me personally. I just....like...these people knew, man. They knew. 100%. They knew what they were clapping for. And they thought it was OK just because the Nazi had been fighting the dirty Russians. And then they're response to it all....
It's fucking disgusting.
the thing that really surprised me about all this is that it's so fucked that i actually felt disappointed by the canadian government. like i've known forever that my country is imperialist to the core. i've learned not to expect a single good thing from canada. yet somehow this apparently broke some kind of line I didn't know existed. i won't go as far as to say I was surprised, but i was disappointed, i didn't know it was possible for me to be disappointed by these ghouls anymore.
Yeah if you feel you need to take a break then I'd say take a break comrade.
Save your sanity for the shit that matters.
That being said, you're completely correct that it's insane seeing the discourse of 'the Soviets were as bad / worse that the Nazis' becoming more and more prominent.
