    Nazi collaborator

    If he fought in the SS, that's not a Nazi collaborator, that's a Nazi. There's no semantics game to be played, that's outright a Nazi.

    Anyway, source

    here's an excerpt from a speech that Heinrich Himmler gave to the division this man served in, i.e. he was most likely in the crowd. CW: antisemitism, anti-Polish racism, genocide

    Your homeland has become so much more beautiful since you have lost – on our initiative, I must say – those residents who were so often a dirty blemish on Galicia's good name, namely the Jews ... I know that if I ordered you to liquidate the Poles ... I would be giving you permission to do what you are eager to do anyway.

      It’s pretty annoying how Zelensky tried to repute Putin’s claims of Ukraine having a nazi problem by bringing up how his ancestors fought in the red army and died in the holocaust. Like great. Now you are clapping and hollering for the very people who not only killed them, but betrayed them. An absolutely pathetic man

        You know how he grew out the beard and does the pushups dresses like a military guy ever since 2019 and tried to build this fidel-castro-like guerrilla aesthetic that is totally at odds with what he behaved/looked like before his presidency? Well that's because he has a sweetheart advertising deal with a company that sells nazi paraphernalia

          He also wore a Star Wars tshirt depicting Ukraine as the empire (via storm troopers), warning the viewer that they must join the dark side (Ukraine) or die. This was at some teleconference with business leaders

      more info here about SS entering into Kanada

      "One way of getting into postwar Canada "was by showing the SS tattoo," Canadian historian Irving Abella told "60 Minutes" interviewer Mike Wallace. "This proved that you were an anti-Communist.""

      lol

      Maybe the Simon Wiesenthal' Center has a list somewhere with the name of Yaroslav Hunka..

      And well, he's thanked as a "veteran" in that book called "The History of the Galician Division of the Waffen SS" (spelled Jaroslav Hunka).

      Also maybe the division commited war crimes, who knows. The memory of these times and ours is actively being shaped, and we can all participate a bit.

        it was never acceptable to be antifascist in the US. WW2 was not America going to war with fascism, but America doing damage control on the Soviet victory over fascism (an ideology largely bankrolled and allowed to fester by American and English capitalists in the first place) by setting up rat lines for nazis to escape through and laying the groundwork for NATO. England and America were just the USSR's fake friends for 5 years.

    How can Ukraine and Canada be pro Nazism if it’s led by a Jewish president and a black president?

    This is too much to wake up to from a sleep.

    Like, they seriously read "...fought against the Russians in WW2" and thought no further

    gonna repost my post from the other post

    There's actually large Ukrainian exile groups living in Canada, including some linked to OUN-B (Organization Ukrainian Nationalists - Bandera faction)

    Just goes to show you that the war against fascism is global. There is no "fleeing" to places like Canada to get away from this shit. You must arm yourself and get ready to kill fascists within your life time.
