with a five second google search leading me to noted scholar and historian Deez "Israeli Trollface" Nuts, who helpfully explains, in a youtube comment, why the baltic nazis weren't actually nazis :morshupls:

    here in this video are ukrainians and latvians singing nazi songs because they are nazis

    fun fact

    the latvian nazis weren't legally prosecuted because the west hated the soviets more than nazis

    lol debonked

      the nazis have investigated themselves and determined that they're just freedom fighters

      And I suppose the millions of communist Ukrainians (and smaller number of Latvians) who were in the Red Army and/or partisans who fought to end the Holocaust and save the world from fascism were actually bad guys all along.

        Most Banderites seem to not even acknowledge that there were any communist Ukrainians at all. How that works I don't know, but they also think a traitorous fascist with 20,000 followers who achieved nothing is the founder of their nation.

    I'm waiting for them to just go full mask off and be: "Yeah they're nazis and we love em for it."

    Like that's basically what they're already saying, but the mask is still up.

      We are so close to that tipping point. I’ve noticed an uptick of double genocide theories and liberals calling the USSR worse than Nazis lately. I wonder if that has anything to do with making Azov into worldwide heroes and giving them hours of favorable press coverage and speaking tours at schools

      the mask is only up for americans. Europeans will gladly say they support the nazis - germans and ukranians - while the Americans will still try to cope

      You see it happening more and more online. Folks who realize they've got just enough anonymity and they're reaching that critical mass of "Fascism is Ok When We Do It" support that they can 100% just announce how they really feel.

      It is true that the west let a bunch of Nazis off the hook to keep fighting against communists, and that is what this doofus is trying to use to claim that these Nazis weren't actually Nazis.

        Yep, we never really defeated the nazis, We merely absorbed and integrated them into our societies. The west adopted fascism after the war to defend capitalism.

      Maybe, maybe not. But even if it is true it still makes them look like clowns because they're exempting nazis from being called nazis lol
