For some reason the fucking Holocaust apparently doesn't factor into the equation here.

Oh really, random Romanian guy, your grandma said that the Soviets treated Romanians worse? I wonder if the 200,000 dead Jewish Romanians might disagree. Then again, strong odds that your grandma puts the Holocaust in the "pros" column for the Nazi occupation.

Dozens of comments with extremely genocidal rhetoric toward Russians.

    Gee I wonder why Nazi Germany, ally of Romania for most of the war, might have been more friendly towards Romanians than the USSR, the country which Romania helped the Nazis invade.

    I guess the Russians are just inscrutable slavs.

        They don't need to whitewash anything, western libs already believe that anyone who opposed the Soviets were good unless they were literally Hitler.

    [this is not unique to russia]

    True, but certainly not on the same scale as the Russians, the Russians are barbarians and beasts. A weak shitty nation of murderers who are afraid to gain their freedom and will always be under the boot of their rulers.

    :joker-laden: so true. They’re a bunch of a murderers but too scared to murder the guy in charge

    Welcome to Eastern Europe, where you have:

    Incredibly reactionary elderly people because of religious brainworms. Will gleefully support socialism as long as you wrap it in the national colors, don't call it socialism and discriminate against the gays.

    Incredibly reactionary middle aged people due to growing up during the crisis period of socialism and the 90s. Probably believes in every conspiracy theory they've read on facebook and spent a decade hustling in Germany to build a shitty house in Zadupie Śląskie, while dreaming of opening a succesful business, becoming a millionaire and pursuing the consumerist cornucopia akin to the American dream. Their dream is to see Moscow destroyed by Nukes even if it causes WW3.

    Incredibly reactionary youths due to decades of propaganda of grindset culture, "fuck you got mine" and nationalism in school and wider society. Ideological debates range on whether you are an ancap, nazi or regular libertarian, while your boss at the mall's bitcoin and plastic bauble vending kiosk steals half of your wages and screams at you the entire time - you endure it and laugh at the weird socdem who says that maybe your boss shouldn't be able to force you to come to work with a 40°C fever.

      “should have killed more” is a meme but it makes me curious how many instances of restraint shown by the Soviets (from the civil war to the second world war) were born from genuine naïveté that it wouldn’t just be overlooked by copious amounts of propaganda.

    I know several Romanians and all of them say that they were no fan of the leadership but the basic system was far, far better.

      My old Romanian coworker who would constantly talk down about "those wretched communists" but is also outraged that our country doesn't provide homeless people with housing and that she has to work two jobs to get by.

    Not /r/europe for once.

    Need to figure out a "AmeriKKKa"-esque nickname for that place, "/r/eu-dayofthe-rope" maybe? Needs more workshopping probably.

        That's correct. Sorry I think the countries that gleefully collaborated with the Nazis and to this day don't consider Jews people are bad. Every nation between France and Russia should've been scattered to the fucking winds.

        Sorry, you do history's most notorious genocide and you don't get to exist as a people anymore. Far better than any of them deserve.

            Yeah. I think the sentiment was coming from an Eastern European, so I can see taking issue from the lens of constant discrimination from Western Europe.

            To be clear, Western Europeans are also genocidal barbarians stealing all the world's wealth yet comprising a shithole all the same.

              As are Americans and most people within the Imperial Core. When the material base of your society is stealing everyone else's shit, your superstructure is gonna churn out some real fucking psychos.
