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?
Evil monsters like Fidel Castro who, like the evil monster he was, freed the slaves from the poor plantation owners.

Americans have to keep relitigating this because they can never come to face the fact that they are the most evil people in the world and their lifestyles fund and maintain global oppression and genocide. Their entire lives are powered by the blood of black and indigenous people to start and the rest of the world since this war they can't stop thinking about. More than being plain evil though the population itself is literally stupid, inane and closed minded so they sit on the internet and repeat the lies their parents told them as fact while being directly responsible for global programs of rape, theft and murder on a daily basis. They have completely dominated the global population for over 80 years and the slightest pushback send them into a tizzy, they hey, at least have spread the wealth to their collaborators the Europeans, Canadians and "that map"
They can't come to terms with the fact that they entered the war to save the Nazis. They can't believe that they operation paperclip-ed the Nazi intelligentsia into their own society. They refuse to understand the "red scare" was a literal Nazi power grab that was successful. They won't deal with the fact that they have killed millions and millions around the world in non stop violent invasions. They maintain concentration camps called prisons and reservations that have completely destroyed entire cultures and societies. They laser focus on a "full scale" invasion in Ukraine as if they haven't full scaled invaded the country my family is from on multiple occasions.
The people in this thread are evil, small minded, villains who would kill every child in Asia if it would save them a dollar per gallon. They would flatten cities if they feel slighted, they would support and cheer for the policies of Donald Trump if it was just respectable and handsome.
No wonder Donald Trump is their president. He perfectly represents the American character. It is hilarious how they have to believe he is a "Russian asset" to protect their psyche because they can't recognize a mirror of their own selves. If anything the Russians are trying to get back in the good graces of their American masters, not the other way around. The Americans are the villains. The Americans must be stopped. Death to America. Death to American culture. I stain myself for losing my mother tongue and thinking in their fucking language.
I knew I was right to call that guy a Nazi.
Dude would make Goebbels proud.

Diva:
the total USSR causalities were around 27 million, western allies casualties were a combined 1.7 million in all theaters.
calling it a ‘group effort’ does imply an equal contribution, which is what gets peoples hackles up.
JustPlainDave:
The Soviet tendency to throw bodies at a problem until it went away is largely to blame for their high casualties though. And without allied support they’d have lost even more.
Diva:
that is just dehumanizing. the front was extremely brutal and most of the fighting and dying happened there as a result.
stalingrad was where things turned in 1942-1943, lend lease was arriving but was not exactly significant until after 1943. soviet commanders did acknowledge the value of the lend lease, but the way it’s been spun since then is like someone showing up to a group project late, doing a fraction of the work and trying to claim the spotlight afterwards.
JustPlainDave:

The USSR was good at that
but the way it’s been spun since then is like someone showing up to a group project late, doing a fraction of the work and trying to claim the spotlight afterwards. (*quoting Diva)
Sure, if you ignore North Africa, Western Europe, and the Pacific Theatre.
This whole “the US showed up late and claimed victory” narrative is just as stupid as acting like the USSR didn’t do anything.
JustPlainDave:
The USSR having no concern for their own fighting men is not a plus towards this argument. Germany lost 3-4 million on that front. 3-4 million in comparison to 27 million shows that the Soviet strategy of throwing wave after wave of bodies was a bad strategy.
This one is funny because I did ask them about what the Soviets were doing during the Molotov pact and also why.
Then proceeds to repeatedly ignore all the other pacts made long before the USSR did so. I fucking swear liberals are so gross with the selective blindness.
sheesh

I need to work today. I need to have some faith in humanity in order to do my work. Why did I click that link? Full of the smuggest, most obnoxiously, proudly incorrect American dumbasses I have seen in a while. Like, these are the sorts of people that make you understand why the Red Army soldiers made that one nazi play piano for 12 hours before executing him. So many disgusting CHUDs mad that the Soviets saved them from Fascism.
Wow yeah. Lemmy.world's years of anti-communism has really culminated in a majority fascist userbase at this point. No surprise, but, I'm no longer under the impression it's mostly clueless random Redditors. It's just straight right-wing users high on their own smuglord fumes.
There's truly nobody left worth saving from there.

Liberals are like rabid dogs. You have to put them down if you want to help them.
My goodness. LW seemed like a decent community about two years ago. I stopped lurking there when mods kind of looked away from the xenophobia, particularly against south asians. It has turned to a total cesspool now. I can't find a shred of compassion or kindness in this thread. Every one of them just focused on 'owning' the mls.
And why post to this community instead of PTB? Does this post even qualify as "open-ended, thought provoking question"?
