Literal SS divisions and Bandera's band of sadistic mass murderers were not right wing extremists according to the German government, nor are the Azov thugs with swastika tattoos, and anyone who dares to challenge this official narrative is a left wing extremist, Putinist, and an enemy of freedom and democracy. This is not an exaggeration, you can look this up: all the actual (non-socdem) left wing parties in Germany are on government watch lists and are considered a threat against the constitutional order. But they dare to claim that the DDR was a totalitarian police state. The BRD is just a continuation of Nazi Germany.

Meanwhile, we are now under infinitely more invasive and omnipresent surveilance than anything the Stasi ever did.
I agree, and as well I think it's relevant to consider what was historically considered invasive and omnipresent at that point in history is not necessarily the same as now.
I guess I'm thinking, like, are current governments similarly using the full extent of surveillance? And is it something knowable? As well, how's the investment and expansion of that surveillance been done then and now?
West Germany previously too had much more expensive and expansive oppression aparatus than East but somehow East is called "totalitarian".
They put people back in concentration camps ffs, and put nazis back in charge
I think Honecker was in the same prison in the 90s as the Nazis put him in in the 1930s.
also they kept up the nazi euthanasia of the disabled in the American controlled portions of west germany for quite some time
Germany: world renowned for effectively dealing with nazi problems
Russia: evil tankie society
the ukraine war was the unite the right moment for global fascism, said it before saying it again
fascism was already set before the ukraine war, but i get your point, one particular form of fascism is being normalized via anti-russia propaganda
I wish I loved anything as much as Western liberals love whitewashing and apologizing for fascists.
relationship goals
The Ukraine War is the modern WW3 version of the Spanish Civil War.
All the majors get to fight each other discretely, test out all their new toys in the field, and support fascism abroad without risking anything domestically.
Not to mention the more left-wing side of voters in Ukraine are overwhelmingly Donetsk and Lugansk voters. More than 25% in these states voted for the communist party of ukraine in the last election, and guess who voted for the nationalists? Except this time it won't be like spain, the fascists won't win.
I knew we were repeating the past by the book.
That's why this is super familiar
Love to see we've arrived at "Oh just because he was in the Waffen-SS he's a nazi now"
It's crazy caus a few years from there the consensus went from "the dark truth about nazism is that a lot of people supported it" to "not all handpicked elite third reich armed men were nazis"
Hitler wasn't a Nazi, just an artist and a veteran who became a center right populist. The Left will call anyone a Nazi these days...
You ever have one of those days where you recognize the Axis reforming and have this all-encompassing existential dread wash over you when you realize you won't be able to escape in time and definitely aren't armed enough
Yeah, I’ve been going through this and everyday the dread builds.
Send it to a German fellow I know, he called it ragebait and dismissed the org as "originating from DDR as a youth org brainwashing children for totalitarian regime".
Welp.
The German left is probably as broken and coopted as in the US. Most didn't even care when a court essentially declared anti-capitalism of any kind unconstitutional by pointing to the constitutions enshrining of property rights.
It's been one hell of a week
Yup west came from neonazi bootlicking to full frontal clean SS myth.
BREAKING NEWS:
Germany says that a literal Waffen-SS brigade wasn't nazi.
Out of every country on this planet, GERMANY?! They should’ve just sat there and ate their food…
The Nazis never lost, they just got slapped on the wrists and were told to be more discreet and tactful about their imperial interests.
- The nazis could never have won WW2.
- They did.
A few weeks ago, someone posted about feeling like we were at the top of a roller coaster, about to tip down, and I think this is the tip down.
You know how the coaster slows down before it falls full speed? That’s where I feel like we’re at.
The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides And a dark wind blows
The government is corrupt And we're on so many drugs With the radio on and the curtains drawn
We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine And the machine is bleeding to death
The Waffen-SS has yet to reach the level of antisemitism of Roger Waters, according to Germany.
Getting really concerned about how the fourth reich is gonna manifest....and gonna be real with you guys, I didn't think Germany was gonna go for round 3 (but this time if they do, the Western powers have decided to back this horse this time around).
NATO's been the fourth Reich.
Nazi Arming & Training Organization
I love how everyone here is treating this as proof of Germany going full Nazi and staring the fourth Reich instead of just the lib government being as full of shit as the libs in Canada and elsewhere.
Praising Nazis is mainstream nowadays
What's the difference? Either way Nazis are being glorified and their image whitewashed.
The Nazis in west Germany dreamed of being able to be this mask off.
Get hyped for World War 2 II
