Or, as the other (better informed) guy said. This resolution equates tearing down soviet monuments to be Nazism.
That by extension means it equates Ukraine (the country partially occupied and fraudulently annexed by Russia) with Nazism. Countries which respect Ukraine's sovereignty (and have enough skepticism of Russia to read more than the title) wouldn't want to vote against (because of the title) but also wouldn't want to vote in favor.
Tearing down monuments to WW2 veterans who fought against the Nazis certainly suggests a certain affinity with the Nazis.
Incorrect, and it's people saying things like this that is why we should combat efforts to rewrite history.
They divided Poland between them.
And Poland and Germany divided Czechoslovakia between them. Were they allies too?
FWIW, it was far less territory, but yes, a Slavic nation (or any nation) was stupid to deal with Hitler.

Lol. Desperately clutching at anything to justify the double standard.
But even if what you said was true, the USSR invaded a Nazi ally, so what's the problem?
It doesn't. The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend. Monuments that glorify Soviets might be torn down for a plethora of reasons that don't have anything to do with nazism and have a lot to do with Soviet atrocities.
I'm comfortable to say people tearing down memorials to the soldiers who faught against the Nazis to replace them with memorials to the people who fought for the Nazis makes you a Nazi.
Feddit continuing not to beat the charges.
Keep spreading Russian propaganda if it makes you happy. Still doesn't mean you're right.
Says the user spreading g*rman propaganda
"Russian propaganda!" is the BlueMAGA equivalent of "fake news!"
"People want to get rid of statues that once symbolised liberation but now are associated with oppression. They must be Nazis and everybody who disagrees with that must be a fake news spreading fascist!"
When you're trying to claim that statues that symbolise liberation from the Nazis represent oppression, you're a Nazi.
And you were the one screaming the BlueMAGA equivalent of "fake news"
Or maybe, just maybe, getting rid of those that try to symbolise liberation but do so glorifying oppressors while leaving those that don't do the latter is merely some good judgement and not nazism. 🤷
If you think that memorializing soldiers fighting against the Nazi's is "glorifying oppressors", you're a Nazi. Which makes it particularly perverse of you to try and justify it by posting a page about people murdered by the Nazis.
Nah.
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre
Dude, you claim that they're Nazis because they get rid of soviet monuments. I give you a whole page filled with Holocaust memorials that are perfectly fine there, which would have obviously been removed as well if your claim had any validity. And all you come up with is a) "how dare you post that" and now b) "your words don't make sense". This is dumb and citing Sartre doesn't make it any less dumb. Come up with valid arguments or just deal with me saying "nah" if your point is crap.
Nah
Now you got the spirit.
