I’m not on Twitter, so I get my news elsewhere, but most of the actual pictures I see are from here. So is there some kind of bias where only the fascist imagery gets posted here in the the dunk tank? Or do the libs scrolling through Ukrainian posts on Twitter literally see and ignore fascist imagery on every single post? Like, if they see 1000 Ukrainian soldiers, will they see 1000 fascist symbols?

    So why is this happening? In the oversimplified memory of some around the world, particularly within various militaristic subcultures, symbols representing the Wehrmacht, Nazi Germany's Armed Forces, and the SS are seen to reflect a super-effective war machine, not the perpetrators of one of the greatest crimes against humanity in human history.

    what-the-hell

    This, this is why a Ukrainian SS member was applauded in the Canadian parliament. The history of Ukraine is fighting with Russia to defend communism. When you tear that down, there's no heroes left but Hitler.

      the Nazi German army was tremendously effective and efficient, which is obvious because the war didn't last 6 years with an overwhelming Nazi defeat.

      wait. shit.

      (it's constantly funny how westerners love armies and countries that just fucking ate shit. just completely got fucking owned. totally embarrassed in front of the world.)

        Westerners: Hey say what you will but at least the Nazis were really efficient and effective war fighters

        Hitler, after the nazi invasion of the USSR failed: holy shit, the soviets have a better economic system than us, greater productive capacity, and their people are vicious, courageous fighters

          when you literally think more of hitler and nazi germany than hitler did, maybe it's time to follow his ultimate example and do the world a favor

        they literally kept churning out tanks that broke down constantly and they couldn't replace parts easily because someone in r&d decided to "improve" the turret gearing or whatever and now the new parts don't fit on the old tanks
        old in this instance being "rolled out of the factory 6 months ago"

      Say what you want about the Nazis, but at least their genocidal super-effective war machine ran on time.
