Russian soldier admits proudly his comrades were killing POWs - Lemmy.world

When they admit their war crimes we should believe them.
No different then when some SS officers admitted to what they did to the “undesirables” and that they deserved it, and would do it again.
At least the Nazis were smart enough to figure out why everyone hated them.

They believed the Fuhrer when he said they were Nazi supermen whose duty it was to exterminate the untermenschen.

Why are Wagner troops doing it? Has Putin stated the Ukrainians deserve extermination?

what do you expect from Orcs
You need to return to reddit and leave with you disgusting xenophobia and racism

You need to go to russia and leave with your disgusting xenophobia and racism

Pssst…

Russian soldiers can all eat a dick and go die. I don’t give a fuck about the feelings of murderers and wanton criminals.

You need to return to lemmygrad.
lol no, get lost tankie

They would also torture you to death.

Says the one who obviously has a stick up his ass about white people, and uses terms like “White People trash”.

You joined a week ago… We are here longer.

Gtfo

all Russians are gonna learn.. you obviously need to accept that.. it's going to be tough for you, because you believe you're exceptional for some reason.. trust me, you will understand something new very soon..
We can talk about the murderers who are doing this without using racist epithets.

Since when is calling someone an “orc” racist? Lmao

I mean orcs don’t exist in real life?!?!

I agree, fuck russia, I despise the Russian army, but calling people of a specific nationality “orcs” feels kinda racist to me, idk

I’ve seen people calling all russians orcs, not just the soldiers, even though I’m sure there are a lot of russians who are opposed to the actions of their government. It feels like it could become another harmful, racist stereotype if we all keep repeating it and defending it.

Like, when the war is over, will Russians still be called orcs?

Russians will be orcs until their nation is invaded and they capitulate and are forced to reform their society the way Japan had to.

It’s the only way to fix a broken people.

Since that won’t happen, yeah they’ll be orcs forever.

It’s an insult, not racism. Just read the dictionary.

I’ll take a middle road here

It’s not good to dehumanize people. Even ones who commit atrocities.

Dehumanization is how we got here, it’s not a good path back, unless we wanna go in circles.

It’s subtle, but important, for us to keep human the worst humans. We need to keep salient that these atrocities are being committed by our own to our own humans. That we are all capable of it.

I agree with you. Furthermore, it’s a step down the path of genocide. If your opponent is not human, why do they deserve human rights? They’re a dangerous animal. You wouldn’t let a dangerous animal live.
No one is seriously committing genocide against Russia. Stop overreacting
I’m not saying they are. You’re missing the point.

While I do agree with you, the more information that comes out of this war and what Russian soldiers do to the citizens of Ukraine, the less empathy there is.

And I’m empty. After hearing about the rape and murder of men, women, and children by Russian hands.

Fuck em. Those aren’t humans. Those are monsters.

No, they are humans, just like you.

The reason you don’t dehumanize people who commit atrocities isn’t (mainly) because they deserve more empathy. It’s because it’s important not to forget that these atrocities are committed by everyday humans. Normal I have a wife and kids, I joined the army as a kid out of high school or after being a warehouse clerk for a few years, I coach soccer in the summers, basic-ass humans.

When we dehumanize people like that it blinds us to the fact normal people can commit atrocities when sufficiently radicalized and trained to dehumanize others. It blinds us to the dangers posed by these ideologies when they’re in their initial stages.

When we dehumanize people like that it also mentally prepares us to accept when atrocities are committed against them, or even to become complicit in doing so.

You don’t humanize them for them. You do it to protect you and everyone you love from the dangers of dehumanizing others.

Exactly, Orcs don’t want to be associated with lowlife like that.
So now we’re posting literal Nazi websites?
What? care to elucidate us on this?
According to hexbear, anyone critical or in opposition to Russia is a Nazi.
Sounds kinda like a fascist take on foreign policy, but really is there any actual info about this source being some sort of spawn of evil?

There is not. It‘s simply a pro-Ukrainian website. Russian official propaganda and our tankies call everything that is critical of Russia‘s aggression „Nazism“ or „Fascism“. It is projection in its finest form, and borderline Orwellian.

The two words have lost all meaning in Russian propaganda and are simply used as a placeholder for „enemy“. They don’t even realize how absurd that makes them sound.

Well yeah, that is why I called the practice fascist. But I really want them to explain in great detail, it is a great joy to watch the gymnastics.
The only gymnastics here are happening in your head.
Kinda lame gymnastics then, I am still really interested in how this source is associated with the National Socialist German Workers’ Party.
That’s just you burying your head in the sand and not wanting to listen to the truth
Please educate us on this then. All I see so far is basic statements but not even the hint of a theory let alone evidence.
Previous poster is doing the modern equivalent of waving the tanks into Prague.

I’m posting news, just because you don’t like being called out for supporting Nazis doesn’t mean it isn’t true

Why did Stanford students host a group of neo-Nazis?

Azov, a neo-Nazi battalion in Ukraine, was once widely condemned. After Putin's invasion, the unit found friends among America’s elite.

Ukraine joined the Nazi party as did Finland, so it’s no surprise they’re going back to their old habits

Russia allied with the Nazis to invade Poland. No surprise that Russia is going back to their old habits.
The Nazis invaded first and Russia lost many brave soldiers fighting against Nazi trash, looks like you’re a literal Nazi apologist
Russia was allied with the Nazis to invade a country… Looks like you’re a literal Nazi apologist.

You should read a book on the conflict. Here is one but it is not in russian so not sure if you will like it.

Case White: The Invasion of Poland 1939

Published to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the …

Goodreads

“Finland then turned to Nazi Germany for military aid. As the German offensive against the Soviet Union (Operation Barbarossa) approached, the cooperation between the two countries intensified. German troops arrived in Finland and took up positions, mostly in Lapland, from where they would invade the Soviet Union.”

Nice try Nazi

Sure thing, tankie. If calling out the USSR makes me a Nazi then dress me in jackpots and Hugo Boss clothes I guess, despite being first generation Chinese in the US.

Why did he talk about Finland anyway? You didn’t mention Finland, unless I missed something.

Second, he didn’t include a timeline of Finland:

-August 1939: Russia becomes allies with the Nazis -November 1939: the Nazi ally, Russia invaded Finland. -June 1941: Finland joined the Nazis in attacking the Nazis’ former ally, Russia. So, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Tldr: Russia joined the Nazis of their own free will. Finland joined trying to repel an invasion.

So is Finland today a Nazi nation? Does this make France a Nazi nation (well half of it)?

I thought according to russia, Ukraine was never a real nation? Does this mean they are, and are somehow also part of a third reich that never ended?

Yes, it is a nazi nation, and no France is not a nazi nation.

Also Ukraine is the Borderland, it was given back slowly during the Russian Empire and during the Soviet Union. Go read a history book sometime

What book would you suggest? Also what is a Borderland? Is borderland an invention of convenience or does it have meaning outside the russian federation? Do you think the Soviet Union still exists? Does russia have any claim on Soviet block members? If so why?
Euromaidan is a Ukrainian news site, not a russian one
Neo-Nazis and the Far Right Are On the March in Ukraine

Five years after the Maidan uprising, anti-Semitism and fascist-inflected ultranationalism are rampant.

What does that have to do with the website (Euromaiden Press)?

If anything, they have a slight left-leaning bias, so how are they Nazi website? mediabiasfactcheck.com/euromaidan-press/
