So let me get this straight, they’re adopting Maoist Standard English and using it to imply Russia is evil Nazis, but the actual Nazis were fine???
The nazis weren’t that bad and the soviets were just as bad and the soviets were actually worse and the soviets were the real nazis and the nazis werent that bad and so on and so on.
It need not make the least bit of sense, only that each argument feel like they follow from the last.
Oops, I accidentally had nazi stuff in my tweet supporting ethnic cleansing
Is he really trying to equate the Russians with the SS despite them fighting the Russians alongside the literal SS

It’s such a mixed metaphor that it doesn’t make sense. Putin is literally Hitler, but thanks Hitler for fighting the Soviets in WW2. All around just a massive
Can someone pretty please give me a tldr about Finland in WW2?
This is the flag of their air force academy today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_Academy_(Finland)
Ackshually the swastika was a gift to the Finnish Air Force from a Herman Goring’s brother-in-law who later founded the Swedish Nazi party so it can’t represent the same beliefs.
The aside glance of the dude on the far right (pun intended) makes this look like a poster for a comedy movie.
According to this it is from before the Nazis were a thing. So maybe a little misleading but also weird they dragged their feet to change it.
The person responsible for their adoption of the swastika founded the Swedish Nazi Party
Were doing contacts with nazis in 1938, stalin decided its too close to leningrad for comfort and that working people of finland will greet them as liberators. Half assed government, didn’t go that well, decided just to take territory too close to leningrad. Finns then actively helped siege of leningrad and were allied to nazis.
Then they decided to chill out after germany was defeated.
Thanks.
It’s not gonna surprise you but the reddit narrative seems to be that both USSR and Germany wanted to colonize them so they chose the lesser evil which was the side that committed the holocaust.
Finnish behavior during 1921-1928 was … very questionable in karelia. So even they weren’t actively allied to nazis, it was still dodgy.
But stalin also fucked up by creating puppet government without even doing anything, its like “hello, this is your new government, also we bomb you now”.
If only ussr had high tech cia infiltration methods
I wouldn’t call Finns chilled out.
If you took a random Finn, any single one, and put them in a room with Hitler, Mussolini (or some other fascist, I dunno), and a random Russian, plus a gun with two bullets, they’d double-tap the random Russian and ask for more ammo.
The only people with a more deep hatred and revanchism against Russia is Poland.
Once I was walking alongside an acquaintance and we stopped by a “Free Library”, a little one where you can put any book you want inside and take any books you’d like.
And inside was a book for children to learn Russian.
Oh cute, this could be useful but shame it’s in such a bad condition…
“Why would you want to know the enemies tounge?”
This fucking shook me. The anti-russian is so strong that even considering learning Russian is frowned upon by some. Jesus. Fucking. Christ. And even then, my best response in the moment after being flabbergasted was to say “And what? You think not knowing German during the Nazi occupation was better than knowing it?”
The brain worms, are that fucking deep.
Oops! All Nazis!
