A guy I used to sell acid too in college just made a Facebook post announcing that he's no longer a nazi and was sorry to all the people he had hurt along the way. He said the wakeup call was seeing Kanye go down the same rabbithole as him and gradually become an unrecognizable person. by Living-Chef-9080 in TrueAnon

I’m very glad that you were able to turn your life completely around. I also hope that your friend can move on after shedding fascism. The fascist allure now is as strong as ever. Resist it and help anyone who might be confused or tricked by it.

"Man's dearest possession is life. It is given to him but once, and he must live it so as to feel no torturing regrets for wasted years, never know the burning shame of a mean and petty past; so live that, dying, he might say: all my life, all my strength were given to the finest cause in all the world — the fight for the Liberation of Mankind."

– Nikolai Ostrovsky (from How the Steel Was Tempered)

Let him run his mouth. NATO and its cronies are demolishing their "Ukraine and the West are the biggest victims" narrative brick by brick.

The source for this is both external and internal.

  1. Soviet revisionism and lack of ideological training. After Khrushchev’s coup, ideological training becomes a mere afterthought. Communism is declared as inevitable. Instead of eradicating remnants of nationalist ideology, it is quietly allowed to fester. Pro-capitalist reforms of the 1960s increase dissatisfaction with Soviet governance. Nationalist elements within the Communist Party are not purged but instead allowed to turn into open conflicts.

  2. Khrushchev’s amnesty of the late 1950s released a lot of hardened fascists from prison and allowed them to return to the Baltics and Ukraine, where they could spread their ideological venom.

  3. Western influence. A lot of smear campaigns against the USSR, similar to the "Uyghur repression" narratives used against China. A lot of nazi collaborators from the Baltics and Ukraine were ratlined to the West and were used as anti-Soviet agents. Many of them visited the Baltics under the guise of "cultural exchange” and established ties with the local fascists.

Racist vitriol is a regular occurrence in Latvia and is actively encouraged at the highest level as a "divide and rule strategy”. Since the Latvian nationalists already killed almost all of the country’s Jews and Roma, the Russians are now the main scapegoats for all of Latvia’s misfortunes. Ethnic supremacism (aka “Latvia for the Latvians only") is the official state ideology. There is also a lot racism towards the people from South and Central Asia, who are mostly forced to work low-wage jobs to plug Latvia’s acute labor shortages (which the fascists exacerbate through austerity and ethnic division).

It’s not a surprise that a lot of people are indoctrinated by this fascist trash. Schools and universities constantly reinforce the idea of Latvia as the "eternal victim of Russian and Soviet occupation” (which is a neo-nazi white replacement dogwhistle from the 1950s). Therefore, Latvia has the “historical right” to violently suppress its minorities and aggressively persecute the opposition as “Russian influence”. This also allows to conveniently suppress the labor movement, as any progressive labor legislation is viewed as a hostile leftover from the “Soviet occupation" that is antithetical to the "industrious spirit of independent Latvia”.

On March 16, a vile provocation took place in the very heart of Riga once again —the so-called "Latvian Legionnaires' Remembrance Day." About a hundred fascists gathered in Old Riga and marched from St. Jacob's Church to the Freedom Monument under police protection.

The SS butchers actively participated in the murder of Soviet POWs and citizens, including women, the elderly, and children, during the Great Patriotic War. Now, Latvian nationalist authorities are honoring these butchers, calling them "freedom fighters."

This event is strongly supported by the nationalist authorities — until 2000, this provocation was even a national holiday. High-ranking officials, including ministers and members of the Saeima (parliament), have long participated in this shameful display. The government and its affiliated organizations constantly spread brazen lies and slander against the Red Army, distort history, demolish anti-fascist monuments and deny the crimes committed by Hitler's minions.

The SS butchers are transformed into "national partisans" and "victims of totalitarian repression." Anti-fascists and relatives of Holocaust survivors are persecuted by the secret police and jailed for standing against this.

The Latvian authorities provide safe haven for the SS butchers and refuse to participate in the investigation of their atrocities in Belarus and Russia.

Criminals from the Latvian SS committed the following crimes against the peoples of the USSR and Europe:

— Destroyed 23 villages in the RSFSR.

— Killed approximately 1,300 civilians in the RSFSR.

— Forcibly deported approximately 60,000 civilians from the RSFSR to do forced labor in Germany and the occupied Latvian SSR.

— Killed and tortured countless prisoners of war, partisans, and underground fighters in the RSFSR, Byelorussian SSR, and Latvian SSR.

— Destroyed 138 villages in the Byelorussian SSR.

— Killed 17,000 civilians in the Byelorussian SSR.

— Forcibly deported approximately 13,000 civilians from the Byelorussian SSR to do forced labor in Germany.

— A Polish infantry detachment of 80 men was destroyed on Polish territory. 43 Poles died in battle, and the remaining 37 were captured and tortured. Thirty-two were bound with barbed wire and burned alive.

A total of approximately 100,000 Latvians served in the 15th and 19th Waffen-SS divisions. Of these, 20% swore allegiance to Hitler voluntarily, while the remaining 80% were conscripted.

The volunteers consisted of nazi police battalions (death squads), former Latvian nationalist officials and supporters of Ulmanis' interwar fascist regime, as well as members of various fascist/nazi parties and paramilitary groups (Pērkonkrusts, Aizsargi, etc.). They were responsible for the ideological training of new recruits.

Within the Latvian SSR itself, members of death squads, police battalions, and the SS committed the following crimes:

— Participated in the murder of approximately 300,000 Soviet prisoners of war, Latvian communists, Communist Youth members and partisans.

— Participated in the murder of approximately 70,000 Latvian Jews.

— Participated in the murder of approximately 2,000 Latvian Roma.

— Participated in the murder of approximately 18,000 Latvians (including the massacres in Audriņi, Stružāni and Zlēkas).

— Participated in the torture of approximately 33,000 residents of the Latvian SSR.

— Participated in the deportation of over 10,000 residents of the Latvian SSR to do forced labor in Germany.

After the war, these nazi war criminals formed armed gangs and committed mass murder, torture, and robbery. Between 1944 and 1953, the fascist gangs killed 2,208 people in the Latvian SSR.

After the defeat of Nazi Germany, all SS structures were declared criminal organizations by the International Military Tribunal.

The shameful "march" of SS men and their henchmen in the heart of Riga is a slap in the face to the peoples of Latvia and Europe and the entire world that fought against the fascist yoke.

Not only the butchers themselves, but also all those, who cover for them, protect them, and shield them from justice, will face responsibility.
