I replied to someone saying that the USSR defeated the Nazis saying that it was a group effort. Got into an argument and called a Nazi repeatedly because "I was mad that the USSR defeated the Nazis and hated them for it" which is ridiculous. This isn't the first time that's happened on Lemmy. What's up with that?

First, some people on lemmy are simply stupid. Doesn't make sense to engage with everyone.

Second, a lot of people on lemmy like to ignore what you really say and find some hidden messages everywhere. "You didn't say you hate X so you must love Y, you nazi/homophobe/racist/communist/whatever". Not much you can do about it. It's best to just block them.

    World news is modded by zionists, or is this a different world news? Lemmy has like a lot with similar names. It's a thing on here too, although less so. Especially on world news with zionists.

    They also seem to mad that you pointed out Russia was on the Axis side originally and is acting like they were always on the Allied side.

    Was not called a world war for nothing. There were tons of countries on the “Allies” side and tons on the “Axis” side. A simple search for WWII Allies member or WWII Axis members will show who fought on each side.

    There are to many to list here. Britain, Soviet Union, USA, Canada and China to name a few for the allies.

    Nazi Germany, Italy, Japan, Republic of Finland, Hungary for the Axis side.

    Edit forgot Italy.

    The Soviets raped and killed everything in sight when they entered Romania. They can go to hell with their "help". They fought the nazis, and they took advantage of the rest of us.

    Nevermind how they installed a communist regime that ruined romania for like a decade or whatever. Not that communism is bad but that one sure was.

    I don't think you speak for all Romanians

    Majority of Romanians view Ceaușescu and communist era positively, study shows

    Romania’s president has expressed concern after a new survey highlighted a growing sense of nostalgia for the communist era, with former totalitarian leader Nicolae Ceaușescu viewed positively by most Romanians.

    The study, released this week, revealed that nearly 56% of Romanians believe the communist regime—widely regarded as one of the harshest of its era—brought more benefits than drawbacks to Romania.

    A large majority of respondents—over 66%—told researchers they now regard former dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, who ruled the country with an iron fist from 1965 to 1989, as a good leader.

    The Institute for Public Opinion Polling (INSCOP) study, conducted with the Institute for the Investigation of Communist Crimes and the Memory of the Romanian Exile (IICCMER), suggests that nostalgia for the past is tied to widespread disenchantment around the country’s current prospects.

    Just over 27% of respondents said they believed things in Romania are heading in a good direction, with more than 63% feeling that the country is on the wrong track.

    Groups most likely to share positive sentiments about the communist era included the over-60s, people on lower incomes, and those living in the countryside or small towns. The same groups expressed the greatest disillusionment with present-day Romania.

    In total, over 48% of Romanians said they believed life was better under communism.
