Scholz as the least insane neolib in current gov doesn’t want to send heavy weapons to Ukraine, has been increasing calls for deescalation and has warned about (nuclear) conflict with Russia.
Didn’t watch the video, but apparently that’s just like the holocaust to this fascist POS.

we need to instigate mass killing and war to prevent another holocaust.
I think it’s a tad more insidious than that. Remember the appeasement policy towards Nazi Germany? There are comparisons being made between that and the current hesitation to wage war against Russia. The talking point is “IF PUTIN IS NOT STOPPED IN UKRAINE, WHERE WILL HE STOP?!!11”. So yeah, the potential nuclear war is being presented as preventing the new Holocaust, and learning from past mistakes.
You see, Chamberlain didn’t want war, and that was bad. The moral of the story is: not wanting war is always bad and wanting war is always good. r/iamverysmart
Pretty much
Exactly right. Citations Needed has an episode on precisely this “appeal to appeasement” fallacy and how it’s been abused to justify wars since WW2. The way they’re using it in regards to the Ukraine situation is ofc the final conclusion and worst excess of it - charges of appeasement are being used to force the rearmament of Germany and it supplying weapons to literal Nazis to kill Russians again.
These appeals and comparisons to WW2, Hitler and the Holocaust have always downplayed and somewhat legitimized the Nazis implicitly. Now, as natural consequence, it’s being done explicitly.
“Actually, nuclear war is very survivable! Just remember the hours you spent playing Fallout: New Vegas, and you’ll be fine!”
Dammit I only played STALKER. I could survive for a maximum of 15 minutes.
“To avoid another holocaust, we must send arms and funding to a government which takes as its inspiration” – checks notes – “uh, the people who carried out the holocaust.”

Guys I escaped the alt right so hard that it took me literally nothing to fall back on it
Especially ironic given that Ukrainian nationalists carried out some pretty high-profile massacres of Jews during the second world war.
I honestly just feel that “sftu, just stfu” meme so hard ab adam these days.
