dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I'm not sure trying to equate all resistance to Soviet occupation post-WWII to fascism is that great of an idea.

LATVIA, 1946

Yeah no these were Nazi collaborators 99%

Okay. Even so, I think the, "it's obvious; everything in and post-WWII can be 100% boiled down to fascism and its opponents," kind of implication from the OP isn't useful or wise to try to make.

It would be better to provide some easily-consumable evidence for the target audience rather than just telling them, "Well duh!" And even granted that tweets are an extremely limited medium, I think it wouldn't be a much higher burden than doing what the OP did.

Okay. Even so

Hexbear Post: "Look at these fucking Nazis doing Nazis shit"

Liberal: "Hey now. Let's not go calling everyone a Nazi."

Guy Hexbear Poster is Posting About:

The guerrilla operations in Estonia and Latvia had some basis in Adolf Hitler's authorization of a full withdrawal from Estonia in mid-September 1944 – he allowed any soldiers of his Estonian forces, primarily the 20th Waffen-SS Division (1st Estonian), who wished to stay and defend their homes to do so – and in the fate of Army Group Courland, among the last of Hitler's forces to surrender after it became trapped in the Courland Pocket on the Courland Peninsula in 1945. Many Estonian and Latvian soldiers, and a few Germans, evaded capture and fought as Forest Brothers in the countryside for years after the war. Others, such as Alfons Rebane and Alfrēds Riekstiņš escaped to the United Kingdom and Sweden and participated in Allied intelligence operations in aid of the Forest Brothers.

Okay. I believe you. But my point...well, just described here.

(And anarchist, not liberal.)

That’s quite a strawman.

:expert-shapiro:

Liberal.

Also the pedantry of "don't be so quick to judge European guerillas fighting the Soviets in 1946. The pool of rebels is as deep as a puddle at that point.
