Achieving political aims “by any means necessary” is a-okay so long as the West likes you enough (bonus if you’re white but not needed. See lib apologia for South Korea and Taiwan before “democratization”).
The fact that this conversation came from trying to smear Palestinians because of some Nazi sympathetic figure (who had little legitimacy and was only there because the limeys kept him in power) is more than a bit ironic. More so with the double genocide theory in action meant to justify Nazi collaborators.

"its complicated" is never used to defend Palestinian national resistance to occupation.
Yes we joined Hitler and thought he was cool for exterminating the undesirables, but then we wanted our own Hitler for our OUN ethnostate and then those damned Ruskies ran right over our glorius pure land!I really want to know what he meant by this. Is this guy not distinguishing between the Tsars and the Soviets or something?
In my experience, the vast majority of libs don't make any distinction. The Russian Empire == the Soviet Union == the modern day Russian Federation. The crimes of one are the crimes of all.
The only exception is when talking about the Romanovs. The Romanovs were perfect little beans who were unjustly slaughtered by the evil rampaging Soviets, even if that person would hate the Empire for the pogroms (though to be fair, most people think Stalin did that)
The most interesting part is that OUN was created to fight against Poland.
bonus if you’re white but not needed.
Saes ruling class still have a bee in their dick about Ireland liberating themselves from the British Empire, even as Ireland slotted perfectly into The West™ in most matters of imperial struggle.
