The Soviets Defeated Nazism, but Western Fascism Lived On
While China and Russia honor their historic defeat of fascism, the West has revitalized it. The doctrine of exceptionalism serves as a modern justification for genocide and imperial aggression.
If Nazi ideology had to be boiled down into one idea, it would be that Germans are superior - culturally, spiritually, intellectually and physically. This “superiority” is presumably intrinsic - cosmically derived. An ethereal superiority that transcends the physical. It is not what you do and the outcomes you promote; it is a matter of what you are.
How is this different from U.S. exceptionalism or Western exceptionalism more broadly? The assumption that the U.S. and Europe are culturally, socially and morally superior underlies an ideological belief that 15% of the world should lead the other 85%. Western exceptionalism is Nazi ideology rebranded for the modern era, with the same deranged ideas of self-declared ethereal superiority. Even worse, this belief in western exceptionalism is not articulated only by a single rogue state in Europe. It is fully accepted and acted upon by all of the European elites as they latch their fates to the U.S.
More interesting and also strikingly similar to Nazi ideology is the manner in which this conviction in western superiority is completely untethered to physical reality. For US and western exceptionalism, superiority is cosmically derived. Actions, no matter how degenerate or depraved, have no bearing on that transcendental quality of superiority. It remains white as snow even as it is dragged through rivers of blood.
So the US and Europe can overthrow a democratically elected government in Ukraine, leading to war and the death and dismemberment of millions, and call it a revolution. They can then bring to power a regime full of literal Nazis but claim to be aiding democracy. The US and Europe can empower (through weapons and diplomatic cover) their colony of squatters, Israel, to prosecute what is considered by international organizations and most people of the world, a literal genocide, starving millions of women and children, bombing tents and murdering “dangerous” babies while openly declaring its intentions to ethnically cleanse Palestine. The president of the United States can, in one breath, call Iran a terrorist “regime” while, in the other, shake the hand of the head-chopping leader of ISIS in Syria, a leader that it, along with the Gulf States, Turkey and Israel, installed. Meanwhile, the headchopper leader in Syria has unleashed his fascist goons to mass murder Alawites, Druze, and Christian minority populations without a word from the “exceptional” West. The US can attack Iran unprovoked and can murder Venezuelans in a speedboat and call them drug dealers to cover the crime. When criticized for breaking “international law”, the US vice president responded with: “I don’t give a shit what you call it.” The US can murder North Korean fishermen in a failed operation to spy on that country. The US can commit industrial terrorism, such as blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline and, without taking a breath, blame the victim of the terrorism, claiming Russia blew up its own pipeline. Western governments are run by literal sociopaths who loudly proclaim virtue as they disregard law, sovereignty, and human life.
Compounding all of this is a Western media propaganda apparatus that would make German Nazi, Paul Goebbels, blush with envy at the scale of its lies and its normalizing of the depraved behavior of its regimes. The Western public, ultimately, either accepts their governments’ racist argument of divine exceptionalism or is unaware of the depths of their depravity. Both options amount to the same ends: oceans of blood.

There is a shitton of irony in Russia celebrating the defeat of fascism when they are in fact a fascist country themselves....

I'm curious to the fascism you think you're observing within Russia. I have my issues with the depth of conservatism there, but fascism? Considering that Russia has basically every known major religion and racial culture in existence within, and surrounding her, there's no ill intentions on any level of that. Not to the wide range of religions or cultures. They all live basically in harmony with each other. In fact, the 4 major religions engage together within the newest regions recently brought back to the Russian federation to conduct an aid program throughout those regions and services side by side. The Chechens have been and are an essential aspect of military operations in Ukraine. In which their society highly resembles a variation of Sharia Law. Yet they fight side by side like hand in glove. That's after having went through 2 harsh wars with each other.
Do you know why this is? Let me tell you why. Which will also contradict your view of Russia being fascistic. The reason is because NATO once attempted a color revolutions in the Chechen Republic that lead to 2 horrific wars. In which NATO backed Muslims in the surrounding regions instigated the Chechen government into splitting away from Russia. Once it became clear to them during the 2nd war that there were hidden agendas being driven by NATO and the US, they found themselves at war from within with the postering Muslims. The Chechens referred to them as the fascist. Chechens refer to all western governments as fascistic.
I can dig up a documentary of when the especial operations of 2022 began and they were filmed preparing to go into battle in the Donbass regions and Mariupol. Where a commander plainly explains how they view the west and Ukraine as fascistic. How they were forced to push fascist out of their country, referring to those 2 wars. And how they had no intentions of allowing the fascist of Ukraine any closer to their homeland for their children to have to fight against in the future. They take this war very very seriously. And they die with pride in their heart and soles to keep the fascist away from their homeland.
So to state that Russia is fascistic by any means is quite frankly absurd! It's an idiocy taught by perception management. A fascistic structured government/country would never have the structure found in Russia with multiple races, cultures, and religions the depth that Russia has and live in the harmony they do. There is absolutely no sense of control of a preferred religion or culture, or racism any where close to the levels known to western societies present in Russia.
Your free to project yourself as an idiot onto the world society at will. And spouting this off like this will surely be telling the intellectually educated that you're indeed an idiot. Falling right in line with all the others who have fallen victim to the vast amount of mis/disinformation about the history of the Russian and Ukraine conflicts for the past hundred years.
@William_Mary I have a friend who is studying to be an engineer, I forgot what kind of engineer but he is from Morocco and is dark skinned, black hair and his family are Muslim. He is educated and identifies himself as atheist. He told me that he was sent to do some studies in Russia where he is discriminated against because of who he is. No one talks to him out in public, they will text him or talk to him in private because they don't want to be treated like they're for someone who is different. I can't say anything else about Russia but this is what he has told me.
@William_Mary I also don't believe what Al Jazeera news says. Their owned by a wealthy family from Qatar who netanyahu owes them a lot of money which is why this news media is going after the atrocities that has been going on for decades. They are pushing this for a while but not decades before. Just my observation. Another thing is the slavery still happening in Qatar and other middle eastern countries. They said that they have laws passed in 2022 supposedly abolishing slavery but they still have it and no one brings that up at all! If they're going to call out atrocities they need to call all of them around the world!
Indigenous people in South America are also victims of genocide because musk has bought their governments to mine those lands for the lithium for his stupid cars and aerospace crap! I don't see widespread protests about any of these issues. I don't trust any kind of news media. I see that they're also causing division here as well.
This whole world is corrupt! It's all the wealthy wanting more at all of our expenses.
I think the orange twatwaffle made some kind of deal with El Chapo and is trying to eliminate the competition.
I work for the elderly and the beliefs that have been assimilated in them. I start telling them the truth but they don't think about it, it's pounded into their thinking and they're not going to realize the very harmful lies.

Harmful lies are being used to change our past history, even the documented history.
@DenoPenno It's so sad! 
In many ways I don't think you have overstated the obvious. I'm not in complete agreement with some of the Russia and China outlook. I think we'll need to wait a bit and see how that plays out.
