That is an absolutely hilarious political move in this situation. It fucks things right up.

Think of the calculus here. You applauded this nazi but you're pretending now that your applause was accidental. What do you do? Refuse to extradite the nazi? That's gonna make it look like you're full of shit about your applauding being a mistake.

Either they agree to the extradition to cover their asses or they look like nazis. Either way this story stays news relevant for a good while now and they were hoping it would die down quickly.

Fuck yeah Poland , let the smug proud fuck stand trial for things that do not lawfully nor morally expire!

Why would they refuse to extradite?

[–] ProxyTheAwesome@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because Canada fucking loves Nazis. Same reasons they let tens of thousands in after WW2, same reason their deputy PM is the unapologetic child of a Ukrainian Nazi, same reason they are part of the NATO Nazi alliance, same reason they clapped for a nazi in their parliament and thanked him for his service. THEY ARE NAZIS.

And if they do extradite him, does that mean they secretly like Nazis, or how does this work in your view

It's not a secret, Canada loves their Ukrainian Nazis. Extraditing a single Nazi would just be them caving to political and media pressure. For me to believe that Canada no longer loves Nazis they would have to put all the remaining Nazis on trial and demolish all their Nazi monuments. They would probably also have to reverse the Canadian law rejecting the Nuremberg trials and declare the Waffen-SS a criminal organization.

Look up who Chrystia Freeland's grandfather was for more interesting facts about Canada and Nazis.

[–] CommCat@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Canada seems to be full of Ukrainian Nazis, their defense minister Chrystia Freeland's grand father was the chief ediotor of a Ukrainian newspaper for the Nazis. There might be political support for the Nazi against extradition.

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/freeland-warns-canadians-to-beware-of-russian-disinformation/article34227707/

Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland, who is being targeted by allegations in pro-Moscow websites that her maternal Ukrainian grandfather was a Nazi collaborator, warned Monday that Canada should expect to be the focus of Russian disinformation campaigns similar to what is happening in Europe and the United States.

TIL reality is putinist propaganda

[–] StalinForTime@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

As a communist, it's a remarkable feeling shouting to the wind about the self-evident Nazification of Ukraine and the support by the West for its fascist client states, while being called a Russian bot in the flesh, only to then have every point you've made been proven utterly correct and for no-one to recognise it even when they have to clean up after themselves after having shit the bed.

Oh wait it's called Cassandra complex.

"Tankie" just means "anyone who is correct*"

im about to lose my fucking mind lol. i am actually thinking it's time to put down the internet for good, even hexbear, because seeing all this nazi apologia even for dunking on is too much.

it makes sense that the unique significance of nazi germany would get muddled a bit over the generations, but holy shit, im in my mid thirties and "the soviets were worse than the nazis and joining the ss is sometimes a necessary thing "is a mainstream media opinion. we have and will not learn anything. im gonna puke if i read another one of these fucking articles or tweets.

This meme even looks like a Pole lmao

edit: I have been informed he actually looks like a normal Polish guy

[–] CatoPosting@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Polack

This is a slur, isn't it?

[–] ProxyTheAwesome@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

an old timey 1800s one for a group that's considered white now. It's a slur in the way guido, wop or dago are. This house was built on ironic racism against Irish, Italians and Poles!

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think it's worth being careful with this. Anti Polish racism is alive and well here in the UK.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, in America it's more of a joke. But learning more about Britain as I grew up, it's crazy how the Polish hate is still just as strong as it was when my grandma lived there.

[–] ProxyTheAwesome@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True. Maybe I'll avoid in the future. Everyone reading know I'm using it lovingly for Poland actually being based for once

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Here in the UK we got a considerable amount of migrants from Poland, and the amount of racism against them was incredibly high. I never met a bad Polish migrant too, they are all lovely.
