I think it started as 1, but I’m confident that no lib knows about the CCCP anymore. It’s all tradition and spite now

I don’t think it’s helpful for him to keep calling your perspective “fringe” either, as if an accurate understanding of the world is fanatical.

Though I do wonder what he’d respond to a student that sent him Nazi apologia - would he push back against them too? Would he even recognize it as Nazi apologia at all? Surely he must be getting some because his class dedicates a week to the “holodomor genocide”. Considering that, I wouldn’t hold what he says in high regard on anything related to Ukraine, the USSR or communism in general. Why keep listening to someone who has proven their ignorance y’know?

You’re not crazy! Western countries rely on nonstop gaslighting to function really.

The kyiv independent article that you were linked doesn’t even deny that the red and black flag was used by Nazis??? It even admits that Nazi Ukrainians killed thousands of Poles??? How TF is that convincing anyone who isn’t already a Nazi

It would have been better for your professor to have said nothing at all goddamn…

In a just world, showing such support for Nazis intentional or otherwise would get your teaching credentials revoked, at minimum.

You are justified in feeling this way. Don’t let up, we will carry on the fight against fascism together 💪💚

A que sabe?

It happens to the best of us haha

It seems like CBC and the rest are the same as any other western news outlet then. American media covered the event in pretty much the same way. Considering how Canada prides itself as being better than the US, they’re really not.

Radhika is Canadian?? I’ve watched a ton of her discussions with Michael Hudson on Ben’s channel and all this time I never knew. I gotta go back and watch the videos I missed because apparently this all blew past me.

Also those articles are total buffoonery. The Nazi isn’t a Nazi, no he’s a veteran that fought on the side of the “Nazi forces”. And it was a mistake so don’t think about it! Reporting factual events is Russian propaganda!!! Also our paper reached out to a random fascist and he said that Desai attended an illegitimate Kremlin-curated cEsSPoOl of dISiNfORmaTioN. Our secret police won’t confirm whether she’s being investigated. But don’t get any ideas, y’all normies better not visit Russia either because you could be smuggling intellectual property!!

Whoa do you know if Putin responded to that professor? I wanna know what he thinks about Canadians clapping for a Nazi too.

That said I think it might be a different situation because people broadly acknowledged that the man was a Nazi and some officials even resigned, right? I think it’s a step too far to recognize Canada’s support for a Nazi army. Like, clapping for one decrepit dude can be handwaved away but it’s extremely damning to realize you’re on the modern Axis powers y’know? It’s ideology shattering

If you want to stand up straight and sit upright then yeah you should be engaging your abs a bit. It’s not the same as sucking in your gut but it does make your belly a little smaller like you said.

It makes sense that they don’t bite the hand that feeds them since they might jeopardize their jobs if they speak up. But you’d think the political science professor of all people would recognize the politics at play here.

That checks out - the short sightedness of capitalists causes our economy to implode every few years. What do you mean about MBAs being too data obsessed?

Thanks! I chose it because Olaf Advance Wars looks like a mix between Stalin and Marx to me. I like seeing you around the fediverse too <3

Why do you think capitalism will self consume? I wanna hear the perspective from the capitalist side

The political science professor who is part of the Ukraine club doesn’t know about the OUN flag and the history professor had to look it up on Wikipedia :wtf:

These are the people that students are expected to learn from?? Who tf supports a war without even knowing who’s fighting it?! Canadian education might just be shittier than the rest of the west when it comes to Ukraine.

This is supposed to be anti communist? The cover goes so hard

That’s a bummer. You could be playing LSD dream simulator irl and you wouldn’t even know

But not if you sleep fully?

Ah, bummer. Thanks for the help!
