| SecondWar said: As an example of that, there was reportedly a far-left march in Germany over the weekend which had the DPR flag call for the west to be crushed. Also cited Mali (where France had gone in to stop an Al-Qaeda linked Islamist group) and Gaza. What I always find odd with those groups is how the international causes they support seem to be completely at odds with their own ideology. The Islamist group in Mali would have repressed them. The DPR is not a communist group, but a Russian nationalist one, but presumably seems all good in their eyes as it evokes the Soviet Union. Also the irony of them criticising Western action in various places but supporting the similar actions by Russia in those places. |
I think people frequently justify themselves by arguing that their actions are different for "reasons".
Some will basically compartmentalize modern Nazis as justifiable for reasons while agreeing that WWII Nazis as evil.
