  • Well for you, me, and most people in the western world: Yes. It’s made complicated by the Russian propaganda however, since their very definition is that nazism is simply anti-russia. By their definition everybody against the Russian ideals are nazis, which is also why their propaganda about Ukraine is so effective on home soil. It’s mostly grounded in how the 2nd World War was perceived on soviet side by the population in comparison to the west.

    Simply put: What we call nazis isn’t the the same as what the Russians would call nazis.


  • We armed and trained the Norwegian resistance, and fought the nazis in Norway while harboring their king in a Swedish safehouse. Once control of the country was achieved the Norwegian king was swiftly returned to power. Basically every allied ship and base was equipped with swedish bofors anti air guns. During the early war while the soviets and hitler were allies, volunteers from the swedish military assisted the fins during the winter war while massive donations of military hardware was delivered. Totaling about 50 million bullets, 135.000 rifles, 800 machineguns, 144 field guns, 100 anti-aircraft guns, 92 anti-tank guns, wit in total 30.000 shells, 17 fighters, 6 bombers.

    To top it all off, we were also a safeheaven for Danish and norwegian Jews that ran from the Germans. We hid and protected almost every jew in entire Denmark, and about half of all the Jews in Norway.

    But yes, continue lecturing us about how wrong you are.


  • So, can the Slavic countries claim payments of reparations from the formerly known ottoman empire? Perhaps Jewish people from Asia? Surely the Christians from the Arabs, and the Arabs from the Christians? Not to mention Vietnam from China, or entire Europe from the decendants of the Roman empire.

    Or are all of those instances somehow different?

    History is full of misery and trying to pay to make amends for somebody else’s actions, today, feels ridiculous. Just as OP, I don’t get it.
