Given how much the ADL makes apologies for Zionism, it only makes sense that they'd approve antisemitism in Europe if that means more immigration to Israel.
Yeah this seems to be a general strategy of the Israel right wing government. Cozying up to fascists and right wing movements abroad to drive immigration to Israel. Aren't they cushy with Orban sometimes?
Neither does the people who want to preserve Confederate and colonialist monuments because they're part of history. Strange...
I love the phrase "use the past to disturb the peace", just truly amazing. Bringing up the time we killed all those jews? That's disturbing the peace! :frothingfash:
Yes, we are the wholesome democratic defenders of liberty and human rights.
Yes, nothing enrages us more than being reminded of how the Nazis had their assess kicked.
No, big segments of the Baltic population seem quite proud that they were Nazis.
Absolutely, but you missed the combo "we were nazis" + "Nazis had their assess kicked".
because if russia is using "there's a whole lotta nazis here" as an excuse to invade then the obvious move is to prove there are, in fact, a whole lotta nazis there
:galaxy-brain:
the west: "Russia's claims of modern nazism are overblown propaganda to excuse military incursions"
the west: "we shall dismantle anti-nazi monuments to prove this"
the westTheir PM on twitter:
My government has decided to remove Soviet monuments from public spaces across #Estonia. As symbols of repressions and Soviet occupation they have become a source of increasing social tensions – at these times, we must keep the risk to public order at a minimum.
Don't really buy this. Last time they did this in Tallin there was quite a few protests iirc. This T-34 is in a place with a lot of ethnic russians, so this is more like purposefully increasing those social tensions for the sake of making a political point.
The general attitude of the Baltics leadership seems to be "The fall of the Reich and it's consequences has been a disaster for the human race".
:eu-cool: loses their little mask to reveal the fourth reich
:countdown:
Western countries in WW3 burning all of their paper and gunpowder to deprive China opportunity to use the past.
Someday we'll put it back up or at least a replica
I don't care how many small victories the fascists rack up, in the end we'll win
In the end, Europe will be a desolate wasteland, utterly uninhabitable by the fascists who spent generations warring over it.
The communists will win only because communism is the only thing that will be able to survive. But the amount of death we endure along the way will not be anything to celebrate.
The illegal dissolution of the USSR and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
I remember watching a ww2 Estonian movie where the protagonist was a Wehrmacht dude just following order and the end he got shot in a skirmish and the other side which follows the reds fragged their commissar because they ask the soldiers to shot at POWs
