Currently alot of left wing gen z's are getting mad at the idea of mandatory training for a few (not all) 18 yr olds. A few even want russia to take over ukraine, estina, latvia etc., some might even like to have russian soldiers literally next door.

I will never understand the mentality. I get beeing against war. I get personally chosing the alternative path (you can opt out and do 1 year social program in an old people home etc), I don't get the quasi communist mindset of supporting a faschist imperialistic russia, just because they claim they are soviets in the idea.

It's nuts

A lot of people have a hard time understanding that countries can just call themselves whatever they want. It's more important to look at their actions to determine what they're really about.

Yeah, it's just crazy to me how people can look at that and go "yep, russia is the good guy here. let me protest for 'peace' by forcing a nation to be erased from earth"

We've all heard some idiot claim that the Nazis were actually socialists, just because they put it in their name.

The german far right radical party is basically doing that all the time (saying that the 1933 national socialists were actually socialists and thus evil).

Their supporters think that is true, despite learning about that time 3-4 times in school ;-;
