        That myth was only possible because it used the SS as the greater evil.

          Yup. It’s deeply jokerifying when I remember how 10 years ago “WW2 enthusiasts” who were suspiciously enthusiastic about the Wehrmacht (which they insisted was not not political, they just like history) would always point to the SS as the designated evil warcriminals while insisting that regular German troops were innocent conscripts. Nazi narratives of WW2 have become so normalized so fast that we are now in the clean SS stage of revisionism. Which is something that 10 years ago we would joke about. What a shitty timeline to live in.

          I wonder what they are gonna reference as greater evil when they just coined the clean SS myth.

          Oh, silly me, USSR of course.

      I’m pretty sure it’s tankies who would be making excuses for Nazis. What “libs” are doing this? All Nazis are and were scum. Especially true for anyone in modern times calling themselves one. I suppose a VERY forgiving person could give some 1930s ones a pass based on some really stretchy reasoning around “they thought it was hyperbole.” Not me.

      Save the world, punch a Nazi.

        Canada’s Parliament and prime minister, along with Zelensky, gave a standing ovation to a living waffen SS member in Canada as a ‘Ukrainian nationalist that fought against Russia in WW2.’

        No one is a tankie. I bet you can’t even define the word. You also apparently are unaware of current events.

        You’re an idiot then.

        What “libs” are doing this?

        The ones in Canadian parliament, and the thousands upon thousands of their supporters you can easily find defending them.

        The first thing the Nazi’s did upon obtaining power was exterminate “Tankies” they were let into power by liberals for that express purpose.

        What fucking tankies make excuse for Nazis? Wtf are you talking about? “Tankies” are the ones who destroyed the 3rd reich and liberated the concentration camps you dolt. “Tankies” were the primary target of the Nazis for elimination and their main enemy on the battlefield. Tankies are the least likely group on Earth to support Nazis and will fight them to the death even when everyone else on Earth is tolerating them and collaborating with them. It’s Liberals and centrists and “progressive” soft-leftists who have an extensive history working with Nazis, not “tankies”

        Can you name a single instance of political confluence between tankies and fascists? Communists were the first targets of the nazis, the axis powers formally called themselves the “Anti-COMINTERN Pact”.

        I could rattle off countless instances of liberals praising, enabling, funding, arming, and befriending fascists, but we’d be here all day.

        The only positive thing I can say about nazis is that they are really fun to shoot in video games

        Literally the guy in the screenshot??? You understand he’s doing this in defense of the Canadian Parliament applauding a guy who was in the SS right?
