      It’s a short story about a Nazi soldier with a time machine stumbling on the Ukrainian advance and thinking, great, he finally gets to kill some more Slavs and win this time.

      It’s just not a good look, and there wasn’t a hint of mockery unless you go five tiers deep in community meta irony poisoning that still just leaves you with a comment favorably comparing Ukrainians to Nazis.

        To be fair now I see how it can be (mis)understood that way, especially if e.g. a tankie is looking for a chance to call us nazis. Though I have a feeling that they would call us that regardless. Also posted my “official” explanation, as requested by a mod: https://lemmy.world/comment/11839482

        oh, I read it as the stupid nazi being stupid and thinking Germany won. the punchline being that as soon as he goes into the train he’ll realize how wrong he is and have a breakdown.
