reminder that latvia has annual SS parade
Yep they do, it’s called remembrance day.
Also check out this large list of latvian monuments to nazi collaborators.
It’s been going on in baltics for a while. I wanted to say after their approval into NATO, but apparently it’s been happening even before, just less obvious. Here’s a wiki link, since I’m too lazy to find better sources.
Thanks for the link. The controversy section is spicy, considering the government does not officially recognise the date but people do.
Lol @ the community notes begging people to report this.
Wikipedia, I know, but Latvia was one of the most enthusiastic holocaust participants. They left only ~3k jews alive out of 60k before the nazis came in.
Community notes in a nutshell:
Ummm ackkkkktually, the UN recognizes it, so therefore you’re wrong.
But he is wrong, Latvians are a people and have a right of self determination.
This would still be true if the UN didn’t recognise Latvia, but to say UN recognition doesn’t matter is silly.
Just to make things clear here, nowhere did I say that he’s right or that UN recognition doesn’t matter, or any of the sorts. I’m making fun of how community notes is perfect for hypocritical smug libs who pretend to care about UN recognition all of a sudden, when I’ve seen many of them shitting on the UN not too long ago for not towing the hardcore Zionist line. I probably should’ve included that in my comment.
and could be reportable
Gasp! Mods! MOOOOODS!
