For those of you that don’t know, there’s this weird trend going around on Twitter where someone says “I’m [nationality] and I hated Russians before it was cool.” I don’t know how it started or who started it, but unfortunately it’s been making the rounds.
While terrible, it is also a bit funny that the people doing this are the nationalities that had associations with Nazis (Germany, Japan, Finland, etc.); like, yeah you would hate Russians considering they dog walked your grandpa. But then again, it wasn’t just Russian people, the USSR was more than just them that defeated the Nazis.
Anyway, it’s just awful Russophobia being completely normalized.
If they murdered the commies, Jews, etc in all those nations who do you think survived to form the current generation? I kept wondering why Eastern Europe (in addition to Germany) of all places is so reactionary and this is the thing that comes to mind. I could be wrong.
We’re taught that after the war the nazis wanished without a trace/ But battalions of fascists still dream of a master race /The history books talk of their defeat in 45/ So why’d they all come out of the woodwork on the day the nazi died?
Woah I didn’t know Chumbawamba was based!
Being based was what they were all about. Their first full length Pictured of Starving Children Sell Records was a 40 minute dunk on Live Aide, they’re second, Never Mind the Ballots is an enti electoralism album. They started in the early British anarcho punk scene and played gigs with Ambix and Disorder, they just also had a band geek/theater kid thing that set then apart. Crust punks fuck with chumawamba
Wow ultra based.
Chumawamba are one of the most based bands
