I've seen too much of this. No, the nazis and the Soviets were not equivalent.

Do. Better.

almost like they have absorbed the culture of the country they live in. a certain type of country.

Certainly not a country that directly inspired the holocaust though.

One man's manifest destiny is another man's lebensraum.

My favorite thing to say to piss off rightwingers and make libs go 😨 is “The only difference between lebensraum and manifest destiny is the latter was completed successfully”

It is wild to me that I was an adult when I finally found out that Hitler was actually inspired by the US's attempted genocide of Native Americans. That's something everyone should know.

And that the Holocaust gas chambers were directly inspired by chemical showers that American border patrol forced on immigrants entering the southern border, including the actual chemicals used

successful genocide, not attempted

"Attempt" doesn't even feel strong enough. We succeeded, far more so than the Nazis ever did. Not to "umm aktually" it is just something of a sobering thought I had when reading that

But though the camps that made up Auschwitz seemed silent and abandoned at first, soldiers soon realized they were filled with people—thousands of them, left to die by SS guards who evacuated the camps after trying to cover up their crimes. As they saw the soldiers, the emaciated prisoners hugged, kissed and cried.

“They rushed toward us shouting, fell on their knees, kissed the flaps of our overcoats, and threw their arms around our legs,” remembered Georgii Elisavetskii, one of the first Red Army soldiers to step into Auschwitz. After five years of hell, Auschwitz was liberated at last.

very-intelligent But many of the people in the camps were forced to stay there after being liberated when the communist wizards couldn't cast a magic spell to make new housing for them appear! Therefore the Soviets are guilty of putting people in concentration camps too!
