Mirthless posted:christ almighty idk why it's so stunning, it's a completely normal liberal take. even libs who are generally critical of America's policies and police state tend to build their world view around the idea that at their core, the institutions of a liberal democracy are pretty good and just need a little touch up here and there, not that they are fundamentally bad. willing to bet in our day to day lives this is the overwhelming viewpoint of most people we all interact with

Might be down to character limit? sweden “only” had a couple hundred guys join the waffen-ss, but there were 10k+ volunteers for the reindeer enjoyer expeditionary force in 1939-40. by the time barbarossa went down most people who wanted to go fight communism had already tried it and most of them probably didn’t feel like a rematch.

i'm sure not everyone will be killed - that seems impractical - but a fair amount will, and a lot of people will face reprisals short of killing, like being robbed and beaten up etc. - the lack of control cuts both ways, and you'll find people who want to kill someone as well as those who just want to tape them to lamp posts and probably a fair amount of people who will just slip between the cracks this is not a situation where there's any real procedure in place other than "angry men with guns and a grudge are roaming the streets with impunity, chasing vaguely-defined collaboraters"

Someone already mentioned that this war has kickstarted the process of relitigating the memory of WW2 in the first world where every nation east of poland gets to have their baptism by fire moment alongside their western european allies against the asiatic bolshevik horde.

Supposedly, the Russians may have the road span of the Crimean bridge temporarily fixed by December 20th. In addition, the rail span is also operational at slow speeds, but it will be next year before it is fully fixed (details are a bit more sketchy). I don't think the Ukrainians can leave it alone considering how essential it is to supplying both Crimea and its land-birdge. It looks like the Zaporizhzhia-Donetsk frontline is slowly heating up. The Ukrainians are moving more forces in the region while the Russians took Pavlovka and are preparing to move on Vuhledar. In addition, they also moving deeper into Marinka. It seems mostly about expanding a buffer zone around the Donetsk specifically. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 10:45 on Nov 15, 2022 |

Tankbuster posted:good thing ukraine isn't nazi tho. one of the main effects of the pogroms was to create a lot of refugees - many more than actually died. this sort of purge works not by systematically killing everyone in a group, but by making a fair few examples, driving off a lot of others and causing the rest to keep their heads firmly and, ideally, permanently down

It's hard for me to tell from the post in question whether NHD is saying that's what he believes, or whether he's just saying "this is what most people would believe if you told them" (which is true). Either way, beyond all the specific stuff happening right now, I think the most important thing to understand is the broader history of the region and how it later ties into anti-communism on the part of the US/NATO. I get the impression that most people, including many who have posted in this thread, are completely clueless about this stuff and just think the story begins and ends with Ukraine being a country that happens to be near Russia. So even if you get them to acknowledge the existence of these far-right groups, they won't make the connection between those groups and other attempts by the US to elevate fascists in opposition to the USSR (and the way the US generally carried the Nazis' torch post-WW2). They'll just think "so there are far-right groups in Ukraine, but there are far right groups in most countries so what does this have to do with the war?" instead of realizing that this stuff is directly related to why there's a conflict to begin with.

At its heart liberalism is about embracing the status quo, and that comes with everything the US is about and what it does. Americans know what has happened in the past, they are simply okay with it (but don't want to know too many of the details). It isn't because stupidity, they really deep down just don't really care...at all. ----------------------- The Iraq War comes up quite often but I don't really think most people have embraced what it really was about. I think you can safely ignore "bringing democracy" and humanitarian concerns, and the US had plenty of access to oil in 2003. In fact, oil prices were still relatively depressed compared to where they were in the early 1980s. The big issue? Just Saddam was in the way, and while the Iraqi regime was relatively toothless, there needed to be housekeeping. Qaddafi wasn't that different. Did tens of millions of lives get turned upside for no useful result? Yes Does anyone in the US inclding its "left wing" really care? Absolutely not Will they care about the Ukrainians the second that Ukraine isn't strategically in question? Ardennes has issued a correction as of 10:54 on Nov 15, 2022 |
