There’s so much Nazi apologia from liberals going on It’s actually mind blowing. The only people calling out this whole situation are communists and weirdo conservatives. Here’s the thing though, those conservative are sharing picture of “gay” Hitler, turning the progress flag into a swastika, and attacking Liberals with “groomer” allegations fuelled by transphobia. Lets not get it twisted, the only reason why conservatives are talking about this incident is because the Prime Minister is a Liberal, had Pierre Poilievre been PM it would be crickets at best or support at worst. Even when the conservatives in parliament were standing and clapping along their supporters were running defense for them, using the same “they didn’t know, it’s the PM/Speaker’s responsibility” rhetoric that the Liberals are using. Two sides of the same coin except one side hates 2SLGBTQ+ explicitly.

    I know that there’s no point in trying to reason with anticommunists who seriously think that ‘the Russians’ somehow faked all of the OUN’s pro‐Reich statements and other forms of antisemitism, but if they want to see what a real alliance looks like maybe they should examine the relations between Fascist Italy and the Third Reich; it’s easy to find official Fascist propaganda depicting theirselves as good friends and there are multiple instances of the two empires signing agreements with each other, such as the Four‐Power Pact, the Anticomintern Pact, the German–Italian Cultural Accord of 1938, the Pact of Steel, and the Tripartite Pact. I mean, for fuck’s sake, Benjamin G. Martin literally wrote the book on how the German and Italian Fascists collaborated to create a cultural new order in Europe!

    But by all means, continue banging on and on about the brief neutrality—sorry, ‘alliance’—between the Third Reich and the Soviet Union. I’d love to see what kind of mental gymnastics you can pull off to explain how Britain wasn’t a Reich ally but the U.S.S.R. was.

      “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

      A lot of them probably know exactly what they’re doing.
