Just an Estonian celebrating their heritage as a Nazi collaborator. Most of their posts are Ukrainian chickenhawk shit.

    :smuglord: next you’ll tell me one of Stalin’s last works was about the importance of native languages: https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1950/jun/20.htm

      But National Socialists and Communists are part of the same totalitarian ideology!

        A liberal told me this gotcha:

        Bolsheviks were just Russian Nationalist Imperialists! That’s why they toppled the…uhhh… the Tsar!

          A liberal told me that republicanism is actually “very left wing” (their emphasis) because they live in the UK

              Thanks for this, I’m going to hope that’s what it was

                Republicanism in the UK is either Irish Republicanism or about overthrowing the monarchy, so yeah in our context it’s left wing. /r/abolishthemonarchy for example is what you’d call a republican subreddit in the UK.

                The people are a mixed bag though. There’s a class collaborationist thing going on between socialists and liberals pushing it. I suspect there’s a section of conservatives who lean this way as well but less so than the left and libs.

                  Yeah, I’d probably count the IRA but not the other one as “very left wing”.

                  They were only bringing it up to be a smuglord lib when the original context was about Republicans in the US, so take that what you will…

          The Bolsheviks were actually International Monarchists that toppled the Tsar so they could do a Tsar 2. The plan was to destroy it and rebuild it stronger. Your standard Robocop situation.
