If they were supporting, in the most literal sense, fucking Nazi Germany, they were complicit in its crimes. Especially in the context of being killed while invading anothers' country- were Soviet soldiers supposed to be upset when the people raping and pillaging their land died?
God this is just baffling, and I pretty much only see this shit about German soldiers in WW2
No, you wouldn't get anywhere by re-explaining it because I understand the point you're making, it's not as if it's complex. It's just a stupid point to promote.
Yes, they were the proletariat. They were also actively in the process of committing genocide. Soviet soldiers had every reason to feel pride and, yes, bloodlust when it came to killing them, and to that I say, good for them. Class solidarity is a good thing, but maybe try not extending that to people actively engaged in genocide
Deleting all my comments because the continued negativity is ruining my time on the site.
One of my favorite things about the old sub reddit (before it really went full time struggle session) was the general sense of comraderie and quality of discourse. Here's hoping we can engage on friendlier terms in the future.

Come on, that's not true, you see it about Confederate soldiers all the time
Very true. Also modern-day American troops, now that I think about it

In another timeline they very well could have been comrades. And in THIS timeline, they were raping and pillaging the USSR

And you have the nerve to say I was missing the point.

Takes two to tango, comrade. And personally, I'm ok with starting a fight with people spending so much energy arguing not to dehumanize Nazis
