            I don’t buy your american propaganda. Save it for your friends.

            American propaganda about… Nazis being evil?

                  But you see, America is bad so the Allies were secretely propping up the Nazis and forcing them to commit unspeakable atrocities in order to make America (all of America, no one cares about just the US) look good some 80 years in the future so that a nation that was founded largely because of these unspeakable atrocities could commit more atrocities later and continue receiving support.

                  It’s all linked together, don’t you see? (big, BIG /s obviously)

                    The west did look the other way on the nazis grabbing power because they were taking a hard line against socialism, communism, leftists, unionists, etc. As always the oligarchy is more afraid of a little moderate reform of their license than putting an all powerful madman in absolute power over them. Not so enlightened, but they do it again and again, from the late republic roman period in Sulla to Germany here to the US.

                    The rich and connected invariably think they can control the political monster they’ve created, helped, allied themselves to. But putting any one mentally ill asshole up as a dictator always ends with that leader getting paranoid and capricious and persecuting his own base of support after the “enemy” is dealt with. The others is an ever expanding group, and the leader won’t need most of their supporters after they take firm control.

                    You live there, I don’t.

                    The user you replied to is on a German server, it’s very unlikely that they’re from the US or live there. Who is doing US-defaultism now?

                    As a general rule, Lemmy is not nearly as USian as Reddit, if you always assume that a user is USian until they say otherwise in the thread or their server has an obviously non-US URL ending you’re going to be wrong a lot.

                    Call a wahhmabulance bitch Oohh nooo, I can’t ignore the world hegemon!! And worse, unlike WW2 I can even see the citizens begging for help!! I just want shit posts! You add nothing to the conversation with your …proud claims of ignorance of history…? but …expertise in global diplomacy?

                    Also, you’re welcome for inventing the Internet on which you so graciously typically bite your tongue. America! Fuck yeah!

                    Now you can picture me pounding mountain dew at Walmart and plotting contras in central America or something

                “whatever they did”

                Fucking hell man, how are you even capable of writing sentences with such a poor education?

                And why are you in history memes complaining about history?

            Nazis are the worst. No one likes, uh, no one admitted to liking nazis, until recently. They are patently scapegoating vulnerable people for broad problems of society, and mass killing those scapegoated groups, while grabbing absolute power for the worst madmen, destroying freedom, life, decency. There is nothing to like about them, only a real piece of shit and or someone with a very incorrect view of history could not hate them with a passion.
