Yes let everyone, despite everything else going on at the time, pause in the moment to recall the finer points of WW2 geopolitics because everyone obviously has all those facts at the forefront of their mind at all times.

Bruv, bruv, this is the bare minimum, I swear. If you cannot recall that WWII was Nazi Germany vs the Soviet Union, you aren't prepared enough to have opinions on the modern conflict or any aspect of geopolitics. This isn't the finer points.

List of people who clapped: literally everyone.

Mhm.

I don’t think you’re arguing in good faith. There were more countries involved in WW2 than Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union but, as I said, I’m not an expert and I don’t expect people to be.

It was a mistake on the part of the speaker, he owned it, and then the government apologized. Case closed. Don’t be a partisan hack.

If the 'Mhm' didn't make it clear, I'm not excusing people from any party. Every single person who clapped should be stripped of power and be given the choice of exile or execution. They're either a Nazi sympathiser or conman. There is no third option. Either they are profoundly uninformed and therefore scamming the Canadian public and should be treated as traitors, or they are willing to clap for Nazis and should be treated as traitors. I appreciate that not everyone is an expert on WWII, but this doesn't require expertise or subject knowledge. This is the most basic and important bit of information for modern geopolitics. It's such a simple thing that I'm baffled to be talking to someone trying to imply there is any possibility that someone would not know and be able to recall at a moment's notice.

You are completely unhinged and need a better therapist.

Completely unhinged statement, according to Aport@programming.dev: Nazis should not be in charge of Canada.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

NO NAZI IS IN CHARGE OF CANADA OR EVEN ANY COUNTRY IN THE WEST, INCLUDING UKRAINE.

Stop spreading Russian propaganda.

Alright great, so you'll have no problem with getting rid of all the people who clapped, and the guy they clapped for. Then we're in complete agreement.

Are you intentionally misgendering them? Read their username

[–] aport@programming.dev 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I beg your pardon? I didn't see any pronouns in their name, unless you think they identify as a hotel in Vegas?

If their name was dave@handle would you call them "my sister in marx"
