The comments on the Scripta blog — written under the username “riikka” — include multiple uses of the Finnish equivalent of the n-word as well as other racial slurs, anti-immigrant rhetoric and apparent threats of violence. The texts use racist expressions such as “mocha dicks” and “Turkish monkeys”.

The weaseliness comes from the fact that you took what definitely did happen and phrased it as “probably happened”. You also took what one country definitely did, and tacked on a “well most countries were doing bad things” immediately after. That’s what is bothering me. It’s the whole “well it might not have happened, and if it did, they weren’t the only ones, and even if they were, it was a necessary evil” goalpost shifting.
By “understand the shitty circumstances” you’re seemingly saying that it made sense to make the alliance. But you’re, once again, ignoring my point: if the cost of that alliance is that you must provide volunteers to kill Jews, you are in the wrong.
Please, enlighten me. The only agenda I have here is to call out the minimizing of Nazi-collaboration that happened, including the murder of Jews, as some sort of “necessary evil” alliance.
