love how the Canadian parliament inadvertently exposed just how far into fascism neo-liberals are.
just a few days ago, if you wanted to find out how willing to defend Nazis liberals were, you’d have to do a lil searching. Now it’s right in front of us, all the time, without stop.
“He’s a hero, he fought against Russia”
“He’s just a little old man, he can’t be a Nazi!”
“So what if he was a Nazi? Communism was worse than anything the Nazis did”
“How dare you call me a Nazi for defending Nazis?! I’m not a Nazi, I just hate Russia”
literally their evolution through this.
What really really gets me is when the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact is brought up, used to discredit and impart vileness on to the Soviet Union due to their association with Nazis (ignoring context, and other countries who made similar pacts earlier) and then the source of the awfulness, self-identifying (i.e. unambiguous) Nazis are pacified of negativity!
What? How do you use something to say something else is bad, then say that the something initially was actually not that bad! How does it not follow that the initial comparison and association at the very least be brought into question?
“Doublethink”
Orwell was a shitty socialist, but he was completely on point with the terms he coined to describe thought manipulation and the effects of propaganda.
(ignoring context, and other countries who made similar pacts earlier)
One of those they like to ignore is how British PM Neville Chamberlain negotiated to let Nazi Germany annex the Sudetenland, which happened like six months before the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.
The unfortunate part about the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact being used by libs as a defence, is whenever it’s debunked the Libs come back full force talking about the dual-invasion of Poland, claiming the Soviets and Nazis worked together to destroy Poland.
I like to bring up that the Soviets didn’t invade Poland, they liberated the Polish-occupied parts of Ukraine, Belarus, and Lithuania.
How the fuck can they read accounts of SS Galicia killing tens of thousands of civilians, and burning men, women and children alive and then be like “Thank you for your service”.
They seem to be going with “He joined them AFTER they did those things, so it’s totally cool”. Like after literally burning people alive they just gave away milk and cookies for the rest of their military duty.
Personally I think that’s even worse. It implies that SS Galicia had a reputation for brutal mass murder by that point and this dude decided to join up with them. It’s like wanting to enlist in the US Army right after you find out about My Lai.
Him voluntering after crimes is also a lie, SS Galizien was founded in 1943 and comitted crimes against humanity up till the very end of war.
They’re trying to use the age defence since he was around 16-18 when he joined.
Because they like it. They just don’t like being branded as a bad guy so they don’t show their internal thoughts unless they find it is socially acceptable, like in the Canadian parliament or Ukraine.
9 salty libs and counting who don’t like to have their inner contradictions revealed.
I’m too lazy and tired right now, but somebody should do one of those Spongebob diaper scene memes but with Ukraine Nazis. It writes itself.
Caitlin Johnstone comes through with yet another dub (I have stopped counting how many at this point🔥)
I am still not convinced she is not Chen Weihua’s alter ego, they’re the only two to consistently score so many W’s on that dumpster fire of a platform.
