-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Thought it was a Leftist Unity/Inclusivity instance. Has that changed? Seriously asking because the support of LGBTQ+ folks and anti-sectarianism policies have been major draws for my appreciation of Hexbear.

I didn't say it was a Marxist-Leninist community (though that's the bulk of the people here), I said it was a communist community. Most anarchists are communists. Anti-communists of any stripe tend to be (rightfully) ridiculed and bullied until they leave.

"They had to help the Nazis in the middle of the Holocaust, because they were just so anti-communists" is such a stupid, liberal defense of Finland's efforts in WW2.

driving them to need to to turn to the Nazis for support.

Anyone allied to Hitler in WW2 should be executed.

Defending it and calling it a necessity is gross.

The earlier suggestion that the Finns were opposing Israel due to anti-semitism doesn't seem to hold water with historical context. Unless there is evidence otherwise, such a claim is just more unnecessary misinformation that doesn't really help anyone.

It was a joke you Nazi apologist crybaby

Cool your jets bud.

No PIGPOOPBALLS

Going off on people for providing context that you admit to not having

I know enough about the Continuation War to know who the Nazis in it were.

great way to make friends or allies.

Not trying to make friends with someone who would defend a Nazi allied belligerent in WW2, I'd actually find it gross to be positively viewed by such a person.

Agreed. Nowhere and I intending to defend it but to understand and clarify it

Hmm, so weird, because

Stalin should be called out for his unnecessary, expansionist invasion and driving them to need to to turn to the Nazis for support.

Sounds like you're saying it's the Soviet's fault that the Finn's had to join forces with Hitler.

You'd apply this to Stalin and supporters as well, right?

Just to be clear you're currently stating that the vast majority of the users on this instance should be executed.

I have to reiterate that you're a Nazi apologist, and state that a radlib like you doesn't belong here.

Also, no I don't think everyone who stopped Hitler should have been executed.

Where exactly are you seeing Nazi apologia?

Almost every word out of your mouth.

Nowhere have I said that what they did was the right choice

Liar

only that I can understand what precipitated it and that context of history made the suggestion of anti-semitism seem unlikely

Oh fuck off, they helped Hitler commit genocide by distracting the Soviet forces that were trying to put the Nazi beast down

Perhaps I'm a bit sensitive to wild claims of anti-semitism on account of the constant use by supporters of the Israeli government to silence dissent.

This feels disingenuous.

Stalin and millions of Red Army soldiers saved the world from fascism, saved tens of millions of lives, and prevented the attempted extermination of various minority groups, you little fucking weasel.
