Is he really trying to equate the Russians with the SS despite them fighting the Russians alongside the literal SS
It's such a mixed metaphor that it doesn't make sense. Putin is literally Hitler, but thanks Hitler for fighting the Soviets in WW2. All around just a massive
The nazis weren't that bad and the soviets were just as bad and the soviets were actually worse and the soviets were the real nazis and the nazis werent that bad and so on and so on.
It need not make the least bit of sense, only that each argument feel like they follow from the last.
That's just how fascism works, there are telltale characteristics: adopting the language of the left, rewriting history, identifying a vague national "enemy" etc
Were doing contacts with nazis in 1938, stalin decided its too close to leningrad for comfort and that working people of finland will greet them as liberators. Half assed government, didn't go that well, decided just to take territory too close to leningrad. Finns then actively helped siege of leningrad and were allied to nazis.
Then they decided to chill out after germany was defeated.
It's not gonna surprise you but the reddit narrative seems to be that both USSR and Germany wanted to colonize them so they chose the lesser evil which was the side that committed the holocaust.
If you took a random Finn, any single one, and put them in a room with Hitler, Mussolini (or some other fascist, I dunno), and a random Russian, plus a gun with two bullets, they'd double-tap the random Russian and ask for more ammo.
The only people with a more deep hatred and revanchism against Russia is Poland.
They are cringe on twitter, but there is and always has been a lot of Finnish communists. They really had to kill a lot of them to stop Finland joining the Russian Revolution.
