Propagandists: Soviets bad.

Also propagandists: Look I know the Nazis did some horrifying shit, but history is complicated and at least they fought those damn commiesso-true

This shit is going to blowback into the West hard when mainstream acceptance of Ukrainian Nazis enables acceptance of home grown Nazis.

Home grown Nazis were already going secretly to Ukraine for training, now they will do it loud and proudly.

Perhaps this was part of the plan all along. There's a growing resentment of the current system over in the west. It's still arguably disorganized and doubtfully socialist in any way, but it is there. And who else is better to crush the nascent worker's movement than the Nazis? Heck, that's how the original Nazis came to be

I'll keep saying it, ever since the Cold War most Western leaders regret fighting on the same side as the Soviets.

Conspiracy-brain here: the US is funding this war until Nazis are legally recognized as oppressed minorities in other countries and allowed refugee status after popular opinion starts leaning in favor of them. We're just not producing enough of them organically, need to pump those numbers up.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
