When liberals repeat the lie of "the Red Army were a bunch of barbaric savages who raped their way across Eastern Europe" they implicitly justify the Nazi policy of conscripting children and disabled people into hopeless human wave attacks

That's it, that's the post

    Wait, is it the contention here that the Red Army did not commit rape in it's campaign to Berlin? They definitely did. it was WWII, every side and faction was out there committing sex crimes.

      I don't think anybody is making that claim, but liberals often portray the Red Army as uniquely filled with savages and rapists, to the point of comparing it unfavorably to the Wehrmacht by saying stuff like "The Wehrmacht was respectful to people in occupied territories (which says a lot about who liberals consider 'people') but the Red Army just raped everybody"

        The Wehrmacht literally sent out wagons to capture any woman or girl over the age of 14 and enslave them to be comfort women

      The contention is that the red army did it roughly as much as the allies but were a far far larger force. The entire point of the propaganda is to paint the red army as monsters and the liberation of Europe as a negative thing.

      the way i’ve seen liberals frame it is that the red army codoned it basically, that it was unique to them, and just shit like that
