Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

From the end of the article
Either extremely impressionable, or maybe had his account handed over after he was pulled off the street and conscripted into a ruzzian meat wave.
Either way, tragic waste of human life, being anywhere near involvement with their military.
Is that really so far off though?
Yes you fucking cretin
Notice that the one US president who actually has been building concentration camps and operating the Gestapo, shares with you a strong dislike of NATO.
What the fuck are you on about?
The USSR imploded because it was a corrupt and violent kakistocracy
I don't know that the US had anything to do with the coup, but it didn't work anyway, and they were much more friendly with the anti-coup people than with the coup. I could be wrong but I thought it was by hard-liners who were opposed to Gorbachev's reforms and wanted to keep the USSR together back according to its old principles instead of liberal reforms.
Nobody sponsored ultranationalism in Russia except by accident. The IMF and BIll Clinton sponsored gangster capitalism, which took off like gangbusters and defined the gruesome arc of the next several decades of Russian government. It's one of the great sadnesses of the late 20th century, the promise of what could have been for the Soviet people in the wake of mostly peaceful anti-communist revolution simply getting replaced by more misery.
Lol
Stalin is literally the closest thing we have to Adolf Hitler that isn't Adolf Hitler. You realize Stalin did mass-scale ethnic cleansing? You also realize Stalin was ALLIED with the Nazis in the beginning?
Yes, unless you ask a fucking idiot.
Get bent you fucking Nazi shitbag
If by evolution you mean “created to oppose” then yes. The question is what global organization will be created to fight against the evil of Trump and Putin.
Yes
Not really. NATO had many ex top Nazis at the helm directly after world war 2. The line between Nazi Germany and NATO is very straight.
One of the most notable being top Nazi Adolf Heusinger https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Heusinger
Where the other guy went wrong is thinking that anyone opposing NATO in this case Russia suddenly becomes objectively good.
Well just because there are nazis dudes in an organization does not make it nazi itself. After the collapse of fascism, a lot of fascists kept or acquired important roles, there were nazi cunts in french administration, and i dont think it made the administration automatically nazi.
Since NATO was not iniated by nazis, nor by Germany, and has no nazi goals, i'm not sure if we can say that the line between Nazi Germany is very straight. It exists sure, but it's probably not straight and certainly quite thin.
Wait til 'e hears about NASA. 🫢
When the top of the organisation is a Nazi it sounds pretty Nazi to me.
Combined with the NATO genocides in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, Palestine and more, it is obvious NATO is led by "Ubermenschen."
But hey. The truth is very inconvenient.
The truth is complicated not inconvenient. Is NASA a Nazi organization? Are we not going to use rockets because it is Nazi tech?
What about NATO today is Nazi. What was Nazi about NATO then?
You're being obtuse and intentionally a fool. Knock it off.
NASA hiring a ton of Nazis is not the win you think it is. Yes the West did not abolish Nazism. Churchill was a massive anti semite and white surpremacist. They mostly fought the Nazis because Hitler was about to steal their power. Not because of conflicting ideals.
What does Churchill, one of the main Western guys fighting Hitler, have to do with the Wests Nazism?
Who knows. Maybe look up Henry Ford. Or that new guy Elon Musk.
Troll.
You have no point just pulling threads what a bozo.
Insults Churchill in one comment calls him one of the guys fighting Nazis. Eat my sack
edit; Bolded for reiteration
When the high school history propaganda kicks in and you are unable to reckon with facts.
Try harder to not answer the question. You can't
how do you think we get to space
I mean look nazis are bad but if we look at De-Ba'athification in Iraq things didn’t turn out so well.
As far as I can tell is Heusinger guy was a career military officer, for the Imperial German army, the Weimer rupublic, Nazi Germany, and Post war Germany. So sure we can he should have defected from the Nazis but he wasn’t exactly a brown shirt either.
Heusinger was a top ranking Nazi which served in the atrocities and genocide against the Soviet Union.
Calling this a "career military officer" is extreme Nazi glorification.
When you are getting called out for calling literal Nazism a "military career" you scream Russia and hope nobody notices?
Strange how your pro Nazi comments keep staying up here.
😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴
?
This guy's already tossing everyone into categories
Give it a week he'll start loading them on trains. Go home
The guy who was involved in the plot to assasinate Hitler?
Who vehemetly denied being involved in that plot, was cleared by the German secret service for not being involved and was praised by Hitler for his autobiography?
Read a fucking history book
Yes
Average technocrit ragebait. Yawn.
Yes
^ How to piss everyone off in one sentence
Yes, very far off.
You're a fucking moron.
technocrit might actually be a trollbot.
What the hell
