      There are some really great Ukrainian alternative-history rabbitholes you can go down if you'd like to hurt yourself some more.

          Yeah there are some wacky ones. If you saw my other comment a Ukrainian-Canadian newspaper unironically claimed that Russians were mostly on the side of the Nazis in WW2.

          I like the theories with how Ukrainians are true slavs and aryans, whereas Russians are not. It takes a high IQ to truly understand.

            Racism is fucking wild. How you can even be a Slavic Nazi in the first place requires some breathtaking mental gymnastics. I'll keep saying it; The end goal of Lebensraum and the invasion of the Soviet Union was to enslave and then exterminate all Slavic people. The brutality of the Nazi advance in to Russia wasn't just for funsies, the goal was extermination, sooner or later.

              They use little bits and pieces of truth to make up their ideas. Like they'll bring up the fact that not all high-ranking nazis were on board with the idea of lebensraum and exterminating slavs. Or that some of the high-ranking Nazis had partial or mostly slavic ancestry. Or they dig up like almost a thousand-year old history and go ACKSHULLY in the 11th century we were blah blah and on and on.

              Really you can justify pretty much anything to yourself, history is so vast you can only choose the parts you like and interpret them in a way you like.

                ACKSHULLY in the 11th century

                It was a trash century anyway. They invented the British in the 11th century.

                  Oh and another part of the reasoning is often bringing up how slavs have lots of athletic and scientific accomplishments, therefore they're pretty much aryans and not like those that belong to "those bad races who never do anything productive".

                  I think those are the usual talking points.

          So when the Nazi came into Ukraine during WW2, Western Ukrainian used that opportunity to get back at the Communists

          It's especially funny, when you remember that Western Ukraine was part of Poland in 1921-1939.

            i imagine the redditors don't actually know the stronghold of nazis is in west ukraine. I've literally run into libs who think East Germany is where all the nazis were.

              They're not wrong. There were 8 million Nazi party members in Germany at the end of the war, so East Germany likely had 2-4 million Nazis.
