“Killing Nazis makes you a Nazi” says the person arguing against the one thing that is historically proven to be effective in stopping Nazism.
Bet you defend Vietnam vets too.
If you literally volunteer for the fucking SS you deserve to be shot.
This should not be controversial.

This is not a topic I’m well read on, but isn’t it a pretty complicated / controversial issue? Given the draft and treatment of conscientious objectors I mean. Feel free to dunk on my dumb ass with enlightening info
I don’t think you have to defend them to forgive them. Some vets do return to atone for their past actions and ask for forgiveness. And forgiveness they would often receive (although the Vietnamese who forgave here are typically descendants and wouldn’t remember the war). They’d still have to be responsible for actions they took in the past. We all do. The sentence would vary depending on how much you still would want to excuse or justify your past actions. If you don’t take responsibility, but rather blaming it on Uncle Sam, you’re just mocking all the people you helped murder.
I think there’s also a difference between I was drafted, purposefully injured myself on day one so I can go home, and I was drafted and begrudgingly followed orders because my life anr national pride should be prioritised over the lives of people I will help killing.
Exactly how many members of the SS do you imagine were just sitting around twiddling their thumbs and refusing to participate? Lmfao. It’s too bad the Soviets weren’t given the chance to exterminate every Nazi in Europe
“fascists should die”
“you sound like a fascist!”
[if being fascist was a crime] there would be far fewer Finns, Latvians, Danes, Bosnians, and Ukrainians
Although we should really push back on the historically revisionist narrative that most Ukrainians in WW2 were Nazis because by orders of magnitude the brave Ukrainians of WW2 were fighting against the Nazi invaders as part of the red army.
I wish all the Finnish SS volunteers had been executed, maybe then we’d have fewer people going ”noooo there’s no proof they committed war crimes! Just because they volunteered to fight for the Nazis doesn’t mean they were actually Nazis!”
Wild times where people are defending actual SS nazis wtf. This is what all the normalisation of Nazis and “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” talking points post Ukraine war have accomplished.
