“Judeo-Bolshevism” isn’t the persecution of Jews. From Wikipedia:
“Jewish Bolshevism, also Judeo–Bolshevism, is an antisemitic and anti-communist conspiracy theory that claims that the Russian Revolution of 1917 was a Jewish plot and that Jews controlled the Soviet Union and international communist movements, often in furtherance of a plan to destroy Western civilization. It was one of the main Nazi beliefs that served as an ideological justification for the German invasion of the Soviet Union and the Holocaust”
Hmm, Russian elite plots are controlling the propaganda in all of the world (including Lemmy comments, social media, state media) and are so powerful that they can control even the USA. We should arm Europe “and prepare for invasion”!
Ah yes, here we are, calling out propaganda so we can justify invading Russia and killing millions of people!
Oh wait, no, we’re absolutely not doing that, that’s a wild comparison to draw, Russia has been proven to actively engage in propaganda and manipulation of foreign nations via social media and the internet. They’re also actively invading a sovereign nation, so uh, yeah, if you’re a nation within their proximity, you should absolutely be prepared for an invasion.
Just give Europe 10 years to militarize and remember this conversation. When you’re sent to the frontlines (or your family or your friends), remind me. The Nazis didn’t start with the “let’s invade a neighboring country” propaganda either, they framed everything as defense
I would be completely in agreement with you here if Russia wasn’t already literally invading another country. That kind of destroys your entire premise here, however.
