Incase anyone tells you that lemmy.ml is not a tankie instance.
You’re really going to compare this Nazi Germany…? Yikes.
… you’re really going to say modern Russia, a brutal totalitarian state, invading a neighboring sovereign state unprovoked and performing genocide isn’t comparable to Nazi Germany?
… really?
The war started in 2014, he went to Russia in 2013 and obviously hasn’t been in a position to leave. Hate me if you want but you’re just wrong about this.
I’m sorry, do I have to outline the numerous actions of Russia in and before 2013 that made it quite clear they were a fascist state? “He went to Nazi Germany before it invaded Czechoslovakia” is not the excuse you think it is.
“He did something out of desperation” is not the moral statement you think it is. This is a rage boner for the ages
I think you become nazi germany when you invade multiple countries, have a master-race ideology and lock people into concentration camps. Russia ain’t anywhere near Nazi Germany yet.
Chechnya (twice), Georgia (twice), Ukraine (twice or three times, depending on how you count it).
How much more do you want? Are we only allowing post-1939 Nazi Germany? Are we going to have to wait for Poland to be invaded and another Katyn Massacre, since Ukrainian genocide isn’t enough to call them Nazis?
A bunch of random citizens isn’t going to sway me.
Until you’ve got the government itself proclaiming master race shit, they ain’t Nazi.
Prisons are also not concentration camps. You know what I mean by concentration camp, where people go to be exterminated en masse. Russia Prisons are shit, but they’re not concentration camps.
Russia isn’t on the level of Nazi Germany.
