Such a thing as Sovietboo's? (self.ShitWehraboosSay)

SuaveCrouton が 投稿

I've noticed that any time you go under Red Army videos you generally see the same attitude that wehraboo's have, homoerotic fascination with Eastern European men in Khaki Uniforms, whitewashing and sometimes blatant disregard/support for war crimes committed under Stalin's regime, "We may have been bad but the Nazi's were worse", "The Soviet Union defeated the Nazi's so they were saviors", and exaggeration of Soviet accomplishments, almost seems like a perfect match to wehraboo's

The correct term is "Tankie" also r/shittankiessay

[–]noir_et_Orr 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Tankie is a little more inclusive. And is usually specific to socialists.

[–]TitusBluthEisenhower Death Camp denier 6ポイント7ポイント  (14子コメント)

"Tankie" was originally a Brit Socialist slur for Khrushchev-era Soviet apologists, supposedly derived from "sending in the tanks" to crush the Hungarian revolt. Since then it has been expanded to include fans of the WW2 Red Army, Stalin apologists, Socialists in general, etc. Compare how "Weeaboo" has gone from "obviously maladjusted Western dude who (badly) appropriates Japanese otaku culture" to "anyone who vaguely likes anything Japanese."

Other widely recognized equivalents:

Leeaboo: For the Confederacy

Teaboo: The British Empire

Prussiaboo/Kaiserboo: Imperial Germany

And so on. The construction ($countryname)boo or ($nationalstereotype)boo doesn't really go with the original "weeaboo" but here we are.

Fans of Imperial-era Japanese forces don't seem to have a specific moniker although I like "Zeroboo." America-boos are usually just called "Americans." >_>

What about "Freeaboos?"

The real question is, what do we call fans of the Roman Empire? Garumaboos?

Byzzieboos if...well, for Byzantium, and, my own making, I'd go with Praetaboos, or Caesarboos.

Prussiaboo/Kaiserboo: Imperial Germany

I thought the term was Reichaboo.

Also, there's Ouiaboos, for all our lovely Napoleon fans who think he was about to make the EU 200 years earlier or somesuch.

[–]TitusBluthEisenhower Death Camp denier [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

You're right on both counts.

just following St. Rommel's divine wisdom

[–]Jacques_HebertVICTIM OF TANKIE PURGE [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

there's Ouiaboos

That doesn't count though since Napoleon and the French Revolutionaries actually were gallant heroes devoid of faults.

They are weaboos too.

[–]TitusBluthEisenhower Death Camp denier 3ポイント4ポイント  (3子コメント)

Not specific enough. If you call someone a weeaboo I'm going to assume they watch animes and occasionally spout some shit meme like "senpai noticed me!," not "Rape of Nanking is a hoax."

But weaboos justify that shit too. Japan is like religion for them.

[–]ObimaanE tu quoque, brute? [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Well, then I hope that just for liking Anime one isn't a weeb in your book. That would be sorta rude.

Well, I'm not whitewashing any of Stalin's crimes or Red Army war crimes, and I think communism fucking sucks, but I'm a pretty big Red Armyboo.

tfw you'll never ride victoriously into Berlin on top of a T-34

tfw you have your men sweep the Red Square with German regimental standards

Wait what's going on in this particular photo?

USSR 1945 Victory Parade.
Zhukov the magnificent is having his men drag all the captured German military standards across the Red Square in Moscow at the parade celebrating the Russian victory in WW II.
This is from memory, but somebody is BOUND to correct me if I'm wrong.
.
edit: I know a funny story about the picture too; it was supposed to be Stalin on the horse, but the horse threw Stalin off twice and Stalin said "Let Zhukov ride the devil", and so Zhukov was able to (deservedly imo) inspect the troops from horseback at the parade, with Stalin standing on the Kremlin wall. (again, from ancient memory.)

Yeah, they exist on all sides. Extremely active in former Soviet states (hell, in East Germany there's still the "Ostalgie" movement, glorifying life under Soviet rule). Some people just don't learn from history.

They all seem to have the same battlecry: "well it wasn't all bad!"

[–]commissar_lubiis amused reading stormfront 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

A lot of it had to do with selective memory and obviously nostalgia.

The transition period in the 90s for many (Central-)East European countries was rather harsh (so-called shock therapy in Poland) with many social services suffering from critical fund cuts. Many had to experience the societal shock of transitioning towards a market economy that invariably created great wealth disparities . As such many still glorify the communist period if not just for the generous (if not piss poor quality) social services and the minimum life standard and equality ensured under socialism (disregarding clear inequalities for head party members that lived in luxury).

Of course this selective interpretation completely disregards the negative aspects under socialism such as an incredibly oppressive regime and police-state as well as the lack of democratic rights and civil liberties

Except most of the stuff from Ostalgie comes from the post-Stalin USSR, which was actually not that bad of a place to live as some make it out to be.

Wasn't a great place, either, though.
