It’s telling they fellt the need to defederate first. They need to controll their narrative, otherwise their views might get challenged and their tankie idiology starts to crumble.
I am for left unity, but tankies always try to strongarm the discussion and don’t really argue on good faith. They don’t respect any idiology other then theirs.
Probably the best outcome, even if it’s a pity losing their more reasonable users.
Not saying allied, but had an agreement that lasted until the nazis betrayed them. But equalling that saying this is the same as holocaust denial plays holocaust denialism down.
To me it seems that the polish wanted independence, but I don’t know much about this conflict, so I am not really comfortable to comment on that.
Fighting nazis was a good thing and the appeasement politic from western nations was a bad take, I would never argue against that, but I don’t know how the NAP helped, because for me it semms more like it gave the nazis time and space to make atrocitys in Europe and German.
Sorry to hear that this happens to your family. War is hell an leaves it scars. Hope your family can heal.
Russia has the power to stop the war and retreat.
Yeah the west and Russia where saber-rattling. But Russia choose to act and it.
The thing is putin will only use diplomacy on his on terms, and these terms alone will threaten the existence of Ukraines souveränity itself.
And victim blaming is never ok, even when you think the victim is an asshole.
That’s why the udssr where allied with Hitler early in the war and signing a NAP, only stopping because Hitler betrayed them and attacked anyway?
Sorry, but this interpretation sounds a bit revisionistic. It was lot of people’s fault that Hitler could do what he did, that’s not a east vs. West thing. People should focus on the real factors and watch that something like this never happens again.
Can’t trust what the brain says, it makes people dumb.
But… that would make you… based :0
Hobbydrama It was kinda interesting hearing about the inner workings and happenings in hobby’s you never even heard about.
Because you are against one side the violence of the other side becomes excusable? The pain and missery of minoritys in bric country’s is ok because you like other the other side less?
I get the anti-western sentiment, but it isn’t an excuse to do bad things
As an anarchist I don’t get the bootlicking of authoritarians, tankies and nazis are the same people, just with different flags, you can criticise the west and the bric states at the same time, one misdeed does never excuse another misdeed from the other side
You say you are new to the community, so I hope one day you maybe realise that you don’t have to be a tankie to be a communist and that the priority should be human and human rights.
