I'm not Finnish. And what nationalist slurs?
The US helped win an actively genocidal war for Stalin. I don't fault them, even though a US bombing run caused lifelong suffering to my loved ones, because on the Eastern front there were no good guys, and using one mass murderer to kill another is fair.
All I'm saying is that there is no difference between the genocidal imperialism of Hitler, and the genocidal imperialism of Stalin. Both murdered millions, yet only one of them has a following in their homeland that is not actively persecuted.
In the most of Eastern Europe, where these madmen committed their crimes, if you wave a swastika flag around, or one with a hammer and sickle, you are going to jail either way, as it should be. Just like in Germany. Why not in Russia?
I'm trying to wrap my head around being so goddamn ignorant that I don't know the Nazis planned to genocide or enslave every Slav as someone that lives in their future Lebensraum but the reality is you're just full of it.
