        Nazis dogwhistle opposition to the USSR during WW2 Germany, the one time where the USSR was absolutely on the right side of history.

        Literally every time someone goes hard on the anticommunism, they’re just ass-sore that they kicked their asses back in WW2.

          Nazis dogwhistle opposition to the US during WW2 Germany, the one time where the US was absolutely on the right side of history.

          Literally every time someone goes hard on the anti-America, they’re just ass-sore that they kicked their asses back in WW2.

          Well I can take your logic and easily condemn all criticism of America as being Nazi dog whistles.

              Are we just going to ignore the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, wherein Stalin let Hitler invade Poland as long as he got half of Poland, Lithuania, and Estonia?

              You know what the US never did? Call Hilter and agree to a joint imperialist effort in carving up sovereign nations.

              Edit:

              “there is one common element in the ideology of Germany, Italy, and the Soviet Union: opposition to the capitalist democracies” or that “it seems to us rather unnatural that a socialist state would stand on the side of the western democracies”.

                    No he’s a historian, all of their videos are extremely well researched and he’s gone on record to clarify multiple times that he is not a socialist. There was even a video where they complained that their work could only get reach if they framed it as entertainment, making it very clear the only reason he does these videos is because they get a lot of reach and make him a lot of money.

                    You just don’t want to watch the video because it showcases how fundamentally evil your underlying views are and you’re not ready to accept that maybe you’re a lot more pro-nazi than the western media and education has programmed you into thinking.

                Only after France and England refused a defensive pact against the Nazis, and had already given the Nazis a bunch of territory and industry needed.

                Also, would you have preferred that the nazis got all of Poland, Estonia, and Lithuania in the initial invasion? Because that would have led to a lot more deaths in those occupied territories, and might have resulted in the nazis beating the soviet union in 1942, which would have basically meant that the Nazis would have won ww2.
