    The US employed human waves to win D-Day and then decried Chinese human waves in Korea. It’s simple jingoism to portray opponents as subhuman, not specific to Nazis.

      Perhaps but in this specific case it was the Nazis message being pushed by the US about the USSR.

        It isn’t even people. The other poster said zerging in the context of drones. It’s modern artillery. There’s nothing fascist or racist about a large artillery barrage.

          Taking a time-honored Soviet strategy and turning it against them.

          Very explicitly referencing the Nazi mythology of the soviet human waves that allegedly won them the war (most likely unintentionally but still something to do some introspection on) and comparing them to the zerg(bugs).

            Read what he actually wrote.

            Drone munitions aren’t people.

              Ah yes the soviet drone munitions. /s. You should probably read what is written before scolding others.
