Literal SS divisions and Bandera's band of sadistic mass murderers were not right wing extremists according to the German government, nor are the Azov thugs with swastika tattoos, and anyone who dares to challenge this official narrative is a left wing extremist, Putinist, and an enemy of freedom and democracy. This is not an exaggeration, you can look this up: all the actual (non-socdem) left wing parties in Germany are on government watch lists and are considered a threat against the constitutional order. But they dare to claim that the DDR was a totalitarian police state. The BRD is just a continuation of Nazi Germany.
- But they dare to claim that the DDR was a totalitarian police state.
  Meanwhile, we are now under infinitely more invasive and omnipresent surveilance than anything the Stasi ever did.
  
  I agree, and as well I think it's relevant to consider what was historically considered invasive and omnipresent at that point in history is not necessarily the same as now.
  I guess I'm thinking, like, are current governments similarly using the full extent of surveillance? And is it something knowable? As well, how's the investment and expansion of that surveillance been done then and now?
- West Germany previously too had much more expensive and expansive oppression aparatus than East but somehow East is called "totalitarian".
  
  They put people back in concentration camps ffs, and put nazis back in charge

Germany: world renowned for effectively dealing with nazi problems
Russia: evil tankie society

The Ukraine War is the modern WW3 version of the Spanish Civil War.
All the majors get to fight each other discretely, test out all their new toys in the field, and support fascism abroad without risking anything domestically.
- Not to mention the more left-wing side of voters in Ukraine are overwhelmingly Donetsk and Lugansk voters. More than 25% in these states voted for the communist party of ukraine in the last election, and guess who voted for the nationalists? Except this time it won't be like spain, the fascists won't win.
- I knew we were repeating the past by the book.
- That's why this is super familiar

the ukraine war was the unite the right moment for global fascism, said it before saying it again
- fascism was already set before the ukraine war, but i get your point, one particular form of fascism is being normalized via anti-russia propaganda

I wish I loved anything as much as Western liberals love whitewashing and apologizing for fascists.
- relationship goals

Love to see we've arrived at "Oh just because he was in the Waffen-SS he's a nazi now"
- It's crazy caus a few years from there the consensus went from "the dark truth about nazism is that a lot of people supported it" to "not all handpicked elite third reich armed men were nazis"
  
  Hitler wasn't a Nazi, just an artist and a veteran who became a center right populist. The Left will call anyone a Nazi these days...

You ever have one of those days where you recognize the Axis reforming and have this all-encompassing existential dread wash over you when you realize you won't be able to escape in time and definitely aren't armed enough
- Yeah, I’ve been going through this and everyday the dread builds.
- Ready to be a partisan, comrade? 🫡 We will die killing these pig fuckers!
  
  I bout made my peace with dying here when I realized that anywhere I'd actually want to go and still use my trained skillset will not take me because I'm already coming in broken. Like, I'd have to literally commit fraud concealing pre-existing conditions to properly emigrate-- assuming I even managed to stack about 100 g's in 5 years just to account for a one-way out, exit fee, and living arrangements on the other side.
- How many ages hence
  Shall this our lofty scene be acted over
  In states unborn and accents yet unknown
- I think I'm not understanding, would the Axis in this case have the same membership as in the past, or consist of a mix of old and new members?
  
  Old and new, but it starts with the assembly of FIVE-EYES, then stirs in the former parties

Send it to a German fellow I know, he called it ragebait and dismissed the org as "originating from DDR as a youth org brainwashing children for totalitarian regime".
Welp.
- The German left is probably as broken and coopted as in the US. Most didn't even care when a court essentially declared anti-capitalism of any kind unconstitutional by pointing to the constitutions enshrining of property rights.
  
  And it seems the citizens believe it to be a protection of democracy
- I hope he’s right because this is not a good look…
  
  Junge Welt is one of the most serious and consistently dependable leftist publications in Germany. They have an excellent track record of being on the correct side of historical and contemporary political issues. What sets them apart from other ostensibly "leftist" but more system-compatible media is that they are actually principled anti-imperialists and not socdem euro-chauvinists, and because of this liberals need to smear them by association with the DDR (though for me personally as a communist that is a badge of honor and only serves to reinforce their credibility and their anti-imperialist credentials).

It's been one hell of a week
- Yup west came from neonazi bootlicking to full frontal clean SS myth.

BREAKING NEWS:
Germany says that a literal Waffen-SS brigade wasn't nazi.
- Out of every country on this planet, GERMANY?! They should’ve just sat there and ate their food…
  
  The Nazis never lost, they just got slapped on the wrists and were told to be more discreet and tactful about their imperial interests.

A few weeks ago, someone posted about feeling like we were at the top of a roller coaster, about to tip down, and I think this is the tip down.
- You know how the coaster slows down before it falls full speed? That’s where I feel like we’re at.
- The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides And a dark wind blows
  The government is corrupt And we're on so many drugs With the radio on and the curtains drawn
  We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine And the machine is bleeding to death
  
  And somehow we're wearing shades. Hit it.

Getting really concerned about how the fourth reich is gonna manifest....and gonna be real with you guys, I didn't think Germany was gonna go for round 3 (but this time if they do, the Western powers have decided to back this horse this time around).
- NATO's been the fourth Reich.
  
  Nazi Arming & Training Organization
- Germany lost 2 World Wars and still wants to go another round. Then again, like you said, why wouldn’t they? The west in on their side now so what’s there to lose?
  
  I don't think they lost so much as immigrated to the Americas and help create the us intelligence agencies and helm the U.N. The USA has always been Nazis. This is the 4th Reich.
- Germany itself don't even have balls to defend their crucial infrastructure or their economy from their "allies", not to mention any real strenght to plunge Europe into yet another war. It's their controller that matters.
- The fourth Reich is already there. It's the USA.

The Waffen-SS has yet to reach the level of antisemitism of Roger Waters, according to Germany.

I love how everyone here is treating this as proof of Germany going full Nazi and staring the fourth Reich instead of just the lib government being as full of shit as the libs in Canada and elsewhere.
Praising Nazis is mainstream nowadays
- What's the difference? Either way Nazis are being glorified and their image whitewashed.
- The Nazis in west Germany dreamed of being able to be this mask off.

Get hyped for World War 2 II
