        I don’t understand liberal logic. When the Soviets invaded Poland alongside the Nazis, it was done out of desperation because the west rejected the Soviets’ requests of alliance prior to the war. Sure, one can denounce the entire USSR because they worked with the Nazis.

        But those same people who denounce it will move heaven and earth to excuse countries, armies, militias, volunteers, etc. who fought alongside Nazis, or are Nazis themselves - original or neo - out of ideological agreement.

        Grinding your teeth and pragmatically working with people who want to commit genocide against you = forever evil, no nuance

        Happily sieg heiling, committing and supporting perpetrators of massacres that even Nazis tug their collars to, and having so many Nazi symbols in your movement that your own supporters have to remove footage of and apologize for: based, psychological warfare, simply nationalism

          Recipe for a liberal thought:

          1. Take an ideal, like “democracy” for example.

          2. Bastardize it into pure simulacrum. (i.e., Ukraine getting couped and banning most political parties etc. is democracy)

          3. Apply the bastardized ideal to create how one “thinks” things should be. (i.e., Democracy should win so Ukraine should win)

          4. Warp reality to that idealistic goal. (i.e. Nazis fighting for our side is good because they’re fighting for democracy. Or even, they’re not Nazis because they’re fighting for democracy - those are pagan runes.)

          In this way, the liberal is always right because they have Good™️ morals and anything that achieves their goals becomes Good™️. For the same reason, any alliance between the Nazis and USSR is bad because they’re doing an authoritarianism and authoritarianism is bad.

            for example: rules based international order means doing whatever America wants

        They were choosing what looked like the lesser evil at the time.

        The abstract fate of a few thousand Poles and Jews was not a significant factor compared to the number of Bolsheviks’ victims they knew personally.

        I wrote this as an ethnic Jew born in Kyiv.

        It goes without saying that were this person around in the 1930’s they’d’ve been a kapo then as well.

        I know an ethnic jew born in Kiev. She survived the holocaust, and from her telling lived a pretty good life and raised a family in the USSR. As the Soviet Union was collapsing and antisemitism was increasing she moved with her family to Chicago. She traveled back to Russia several times, but never returned to Ukraine, which I think about a lot. Who wants to survive the holocaust and then still have to live alongside these nationalist shitheads, just waiting for it to happen again.

        Another irony here is that the mass slaughter of horses and cattle by Banderites in the late 1920s and early 1930s was one of the major factors leading to the collapse of food production in the early 1930s and the famine across the southern USSR.
