It's kinda funny when Ukrainian fascists had promoted idiotic view that USSR=Russia and Ukraine was an occupied country instead of an equal part, and now meet consequences of this view.

Yeah, leave it to a Ukrainian flag username to erase the heroism of the Ukrainians in the Red Army in order to fellate the Americans

Spitting on the graves of antifascist heroes to honor not-Hitler is a liberal tradition

[-] [email protected] 43 points 6 months ago

Liberals erased actual Ukrainian history with random fascists who committed massacres for a few years before dying.

Really funny to see all the MAGA patriots going to bat for the Soviet Union in the replies

That’s only because Trump is doing it. If Biden did it they’ll call him a Stalinist

For sure, hilarious nonetheless

If it ends with some of them seeing through anticommunist propaganda, it would be very funny.

No shot, they are doing it purely out of reflex because Trump said it

[-] [email protected] 27 points 6 months ago

It won't. They'll just use this as a "gotcha lib owned with facts and logick" and forget about it in 5 seconds.

The guy is doubling down by trying to say Ukraine and Belarus lost more combatants than Russia and also Germany wouldn't have been defeated without the US and UK.

Yeah except the Nazis were already retreating from the eastern front by the time D-Day happened. The US and UK were instrumental in getting the Nazis out of France and Italy, but the troops marching into Berlin were Soviets.

This guy is a PhD and works for Forbes? Quality intellectuals that America has crafted. We have our own self-replicating ghoul class who aren't even cynical even more, they legit believe all the ghoul propaganda.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago

the allies certainly helped with the defeat for sure but comintern did all the heavy lifting

Including the Ukraine, which this man has in his pfp. smh this anti ukraine man is doing putins work for him smh.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It actually gets really ghoulish:

1/ First, the Soviet Union included, not only russia, but another 14 countries. Ukraine alone lost over 8 million people in WW2. As a percentage of population, Belorussia lost 25% and Ukraine 16% of its population, while russia only 12%.

I think he got those numbers by including civilian genocide victims.

2/ Second, just because the Soviet Union had the most causalities, doesn’t mean that they won the war. The reason Soviets had such large casualties is because they used people as cannon folder. Something russia is still doing today.

And doing more apologia for literal Nazi genocide of Slavs to own the ruskies

3/ Third, the Red Army was poorly equipped and heavily relied on the US support. Through the lendlease, the US has provided over 400,000 trucks, 14,000 airplanes, 13,000 tanks, and more.

Now list total tanks, and maybe who drove them.

If dumping military equipment was a magic spell to make the side with the richest sponsors win, then what's going on in Ukraine?

4/ Forth, Nazis were defeated only after the second front was open. Nazis had to fight against the US, UK, and all their allies.

So, it is plain stupid to attribute victory over Hitler to russia.

The front that never would have opened were it not for Molotov-Ribbentrop, which I'm sure this same prick will call Nazi collaboration (unlike Bandera, who was just doing what he had to in order to own the ruskies)

Such a fucking waste of space

Most well read liberal.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 6 months ago

I mean, the USSR did, which included a lot of Ukrainians such as Lyudmila Pavlichenko.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 6 months ago

Westerners and now recently modern Ukraine has been pushing hard to separate all Ukrainian history from the USSR aside from being "oppressed." So naturally the average burger will think USSR = Russia = Russia did everything good or bad in WWII.

i remember a really good graph from a history book(?) showing public opinion every few years in response to the question "who is most responsible for the defeat of germany in ww2" and in 1945, it was like 80%+ of respondents saying USSR, but as the years go by, USSR's share shrinks, and the US' increases.

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.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
