Also an extremely inaccurate comparison because SS units like Galicia were volunteer only but Fascist Italy conscripted men of fighting age into their army. I refuse to believe that a professor doesn’t understand the difference between being compelled to serve and volunteering to serve, so I must conclude he’s saying this shit deliberately to mislead.
Would you be surprised if I told you that the good professor has Ukrainian heritage?
I don’t want to imply that anyone with a certain heritage is inherently sympathetic to a specific ideology, but I would not be surprised if he had Ukrainian gusanos as ancestors.
To be honest, Ivan Katchanovski is also Ukrainian-Canadian professor and he has been actively protesting all this Nazi shit for a long time. Of course, Western MSM ignore him and boost open Nazis.

Yeah, funny how that works.
If he isn’t careful with how vociferous he is, he may become the next Norman Finkelstein and blackballed by academia. Your identity can only protect you for so long if you rail against zionism/ukrofascism too hard and draw too much attention to the issue.
we deal with the same thing in australia, it’s fucked, and a lot of their descendants have kept their nazi proclivities
check this for example

Seriously
In the fucking SS
“not a nazi”
He’s only a real Nazi if he comes from the Nazi region of Germany, otherwise he’s a sparkling fascist
Klufas blames the branding of Hunka as a Nazi on “Russian disinformation,” adding, “the fact that he was a soldier does not mean that he was a Nazi.” He also said there was nothing wrong with Parliament applauding a man “who fought for his country.”
Can we applaud Russian soldiers then?
the fact that he was a soldier does not mean that he was a Nazi
WTF. This is trying to apply the clean Wehrmacht myth on Waffen-SS volunteers. That the professor is saying only members of the NSDAP were Nazis is something that would be crossed out as wrong due to reduction in any homework you have to write at school or uni over here.
White people coming out as big fans of Nazis after decades of pretending to hate them might be the biggest outcome of this war.

They weren’t hurting the right people
Most of western europe immediately collapsed into nazi-sympathizer comprador regimes without much resistance, almost like a large portion of the population secretly wanted it to happen. Vichy cucks and quislings.
Partisans who fought the occupiers are the only cool people in those nazi-occupied countries.
The first battle Americans fought on the ground in WWII was against French troop fighting for the nazis in Africa IIRC

Everything that is politically inconvenient for our ruling hegemony in this moment is Russian disinformation at worst, Soros funded as a middle ground, and Chinese propaganda at best. You don’t even have to justify or prove it. Just claim it and it becomes as real as the ground under your feet.
Normal response: “The SS guy who slaughtered poles was a Nazi.”
Liberal response: “well, ackshually, we have to first consider Plato’s dialogues. For example,”
Liberal trend in 2023 - mental gymnastics to defend Nazis.
Liberal trend in 2024 - mental gymnastics to defend being Nazis themselves
Askshually sweaty I’m not german so I can’t be a nazi
Yep. And not just the GOP and their tiki-torch-weilding fans, either. The fascism is fucking deeply rooted in U.S. politics, and always has been.
ecological and economic catastrophes in the future that liberalism is wholly unsuited to deal with…they’re getting everybody else ready intellectually and emotionally for why that’s gonna be okay when it happens why they’re not really people…when we’re putting all this money into more walls and drones and bombs and guns to keep them away and so that we can watch them die with clear conscience
This is what liberals (Democrats in particular) really mean when they say they want to “treat climate change like a national security issue”. People are suckered into thinking it just means they are going to take it seriously and prioritize it. No. It’s the same sense in which they have always used the term “national security”. It literally means they are going to crack down harder on immigration, make sure that capitalist enterprises close to the security state profit like crazy (e.g. securing them the Arctic trade routes), shoot “looters” when they are just trying to survive after climate disasters, crack down on the climate movement as it demands systemic change, etc. Aviva Chomsky did a really good talk a couple years ago about immigration and went into this very clearly.
Could you imagine this treatment for ISIS? “Well, he volunteered to join ISIS but we don’t know if he specifically did any crimes and you could see why am Iraqi would join ISIS to fight against Americam occupation. Anyway, ISIS beheaded a ton of people lol.”

“He fought for an unit created by a nazi”.
He WAS a Nazi. In the Waffen SS. Which he joined voluntarily.
He
WASIS a Nazi.If he was a changed person, he would not have been there.
that must be why his bio from Uni of Alberta only says he came here after WW2. Never mentions he was a “veteran.” Weird they glossed over that huh?
“Yaroslav Hunka (1925–) was born in interwar western Ukraine, in Urman village, Berezhany district, Ternopil oblast. After World War II he settled in the United Kingdom, joining the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain.”
Adolf Hitler was an Austrian veteran and public speaker. He passed away in 1945.
austrian veteran and public speaker who made great strides against the spread of authoritarian russian communism
Yaroslav Hunka (1925–)
Inshallah they will need to update this to say “(1925-2023)”

Great scott, these readings are off-scale!
I hate how in the 21st century, nazism has become so popular that if you announce to normies that you disagree with nazis, at best you will be lectured on how you’re being a contrarian, and most likely you will be accused of being one of the BAD authoritarians…because you dislike the GOOD authoritarians.
It is certainly automatic on many parts of, uh, certain websites that you’ll get responses to the effect of “the communists killed way more” and “at least the Nazis didn’t kill their own people”.
Accepting Nazi framing of communists, German Jews and homosexuals as ‘not their own people’ to own tankies.
Dibs on being the twink Jew.

I wonder what they think of a certain community center bombing back in 1949
Do you happen to remember the name of the community center, or have an article handy? I remember reading about that occurring but i cant find anything that references it anymore.
Was in 1950, but here ya go.
Wall.
