Honest question, did we fight the Nazis because they were Nazis as we know them today (genocidal/racist/fascist)? Or did we fight the Nazis because they were attacking our allies?

We also had a war over being a conservative Loyalist, vs a proud progressive patriot, but people seem to forget that happened.

You don't get to be a regressive conservative, and be a proud American

A lot of projecting there from someone who probably doesn't have enough of a problem with Trump to vote against him.

You don’t get to be a proud american period, since the Confederacy lost the battle but won the war (see the thirteenth amendment) and the USA inspired and created the Nazis (Ford/Rockefeller funding for instance) and then rescued thousands of their leaders after WW2 (Operation Paperclip, Operation Bloodstone). What’s the difference between Nazis and a society that rescues them?

How is Biden different from Adolph Hitler?

This you?

Yes, can you answer the question?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

There's absolutely no difference between a Nazi and a society which rescues them. This is why the Soviets and the US immediately started shuttling Jews into death camps post-WW2.

More Jews fought for the Soviets than for any of the other allied powers. Most of the founders of the USSR were also Jewish! Try again, nazi!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (6 children)

Remind me, what was the USSRs role in Poland ca. WW2? How about the Balkans? The US is awful in a number of ways and are guilty of the same crimes as many other world powers; but don't pretend your precious Soviet state wasn't amenable to ethnic cleansings and pogroms either. You're delusional if if you think the half dead twat currently in the oval office is even close to Hitler
