"Marketplace of ideas" for fascists and nazi spawn but not for anyone we don't actually like.

i'm pretty sure this is a real person

edit: not that i'm saying that all people of the UA are nazis.

tbh this meme refers to the recent hunka debacle with how suddenly there was a massive influx of liberals in my country trying to blur the line, stating that the 14 waffen SS were simply fighting the USSR and how hitler was a "lesser evil".

i don't get why you feel this would be immediately modern Russian propaganda, this is literally a ww2 unit lmao.

not mine i just found it amusing that eventually we'll probably see some unironic post stating that "Hitler just wanted to solve the housing crisis, it was a difficult time, it was complicated, he was in a rock and a hard place, tough decisions were made"

excerpt context: after the UA government had decided to add to the list the 110th birthday of nazi collaborator bandera to the list of days worthy of commemoration.

“Glorifying the person whose men committed countless heinous crimes is an insult to the victims and an unthinkable distortion of the history of the world’s most horrific genocide," said Dr. Zuroff.

“Unfortunately in recent years, Ukraine has been one of the major propagators of a distorted version of Holocaust history which seeks to hide or minimize crimes committed by Ukrainian nationalists,” he added.

Weitzman added, "It is clear that Ukraine is choosing to rehabilitate antisemitism and to censor history.” He noted that, along with the Bandera national holiday, the Ukrainian region of Lviv announced that 2019 would be “Stepan Bandera Year” and that a book exploring the antisemitic actions of politician Simon Petlura, who led 1919 pogroms against Jews, was banned.

“By joining with other countries that are rewriting history Ukraine is showing how little it has learned from the tragedies of the past. These actions are a disgraceful affirmation of Ukraine’s darkest past and an absolute rejection of democratic values,” Weitzman concluded.

mind you there are streets named him. You aren't even slightly suspicious that maybe the narrative we're being told on MSM is fabricated?

edit: i should make explicit. this meme is prodding at liberals humanizing the soldier of the 14th Waffen SS (1st Galicia) recently honoured in the canadian house of commons. this meme is showing off a ww2 ukrainian nazi unit in a fashion similarly done with the "brave soldiers of afghanistan" who would later become the taliban.

the joke is, we would eventually glorify and humanize them as well with enough time

We (leftists, socialist, communists) are out organized.

Pierre just wants the reigns he doesn't actually give a shit, nobody has said anything about the ss monuments or Jack, they're all equally spineless, the way I see it is PP tjust wants the position and is smearing him trying to pin it to JT.

Really, you can’t think of any examples of fascism growing in Canada? The giant trucker anti-vax movement?

I refuse to dismiss the entirety of the trucker protests off as an "anti-vax movement" as i have shamefully in the past, while i agree their leaders were fucked, pat king w/ his superior race comments, and the MOU stating they only recognize the federal government as as the governor general and senate. not to mention that an stupid amount of money in the gofundme leaks came from foreign shores.

They were the only option (from a lack of proper leftist organization) available for Canadians who have been suffering from rising costs of food, gas, rent, utilities, who are angry, confused and, probably misinformed especially as the government was doing a rather insufficient pandemic (an ongoing one mind you) response for the people as small shops closed down, and seemingly more focused on the corporations. it was a good mix of reactionaries and legitimate people with legitimate concerns, we should learn from our mistakes and do a better job of explaining to the people on a more intimate person to person level and at doing government policies.

if you are willing to entertain a socialist view on this (they are god damn trots though), but yeah you're right in being aware it was a fair split of reactionaries, crypto-fascists, and people with genuine concerns (kind of like right now)

Poilievre’s fringe party and conservative attacks on trans rights, women’s rights, and people’s access to healthcare?

you are absolutely right that the assaults on trans rights, women rights and, the privatization of public health care is concerning, this again i imagine has most likely been a mix of reactionaries and crypto-fascists who again have sus backgrounds leading people who most likely have valid concerns that were never addressed and mislead immensely (but when you live next to the massive American media machine and their capital is magnitudes more than that of any leftist creator, it's an uphill battle all the way).

You might just want to look a little harder, because this just looks weak

i hope we both understand that poilievre is an "economic liberal/ neo liberal" and that most parties in canada a "liberal democracy" can be said to be "liberal".

i should make no illusion to the idea that poilievre is using the hunka debacle to garner more votes, my disdain extends to him as well, mind you he has been careful with his words and not use the word "nazi" because he too wants the Ukrainian diaspora votes, and the fact is, a non negligible amount of ukrainians consider the 14 waffen ss and their ilk to be heros abroad (not an annual national holiday, nation wide commemoration of the 110th birthday of the collaborator, which is jan 1) and at home

edit: when i said clear cut i hope to express that i doubt most people will know of hitlers policies towards transpeople, but the gradual progression of:

letting nazis in country < nazis accidentally honoured by country's gov < nazis honoured by msm country's news paper

is a progression most unread people will understand, a progression most people will find concerning because... i do nazi them nazi-ng it lol

i really didn't want to have clear cut examples of fascism grow in my country to this meme, but i guess here we are.

 
 

I don’t know if this is hollow, corny cheerleading, but I think it’s important to remind myself and others. Sometimes a shitty future seems inevitable; it’s easy to imagine capitalism and oppression consuming more and more of our planet and our humanity. The momentum of these forces is so great that they can seem unsurmountable, but we must always remember the truth: there is no power greater than the people.

“It reminds us of John Dewey's claim that, "As long as politics is the shadow cast on society by big business, the attenuation of the shadow will not change the substance."

In the US, the two-party political system has proven extremely effective in this regard. Aside from differences on social issues like abortion and gay marriage, as well as socioeconomic issues like unemployment insurance and public assistance, both parties ultimately embrace capitalist/corporatist interests in that they both serve as facilitators for the dominant classes: The Republican Party in its role as forerunner, pushing the limits of the capitalist model to the brink of fascism; and the Democratic Party in its role as governor, providing intermittent degrees of slack and pull against this inevitable move towards a "corporate-fascistic state of being." — “Calibrating the Capitalist State in the Neoliberal Era: Equilibrium, Superstructure, and the Pull Towards a Corporate-Fascistic Model” Colin Jenkins

In an attempt to get Americans to see why Japan finds Barbenheimer offensive, Japanese twitter has taken to making 9/11 jokes - completely misunderstanding that Americans love 9/11 jokes.
