    “The bad guys won in WWII. There were no ‘good guys’ in that war. The controlling interests had a jump ball. If you look closely, you see the link between liberalism and communism in the Allied forces.”

    Just another demented MAGA turd trying to sound intelligent. All the buzzwords are there to keep the base frothing at the mouth: liberal, controlling interest/deep state, bad, communism.

      “both sides” too

      E.g.:

      Being genocidal racist fascists

      Or…

      Wanting affordable healthcare for all Americans and therefore being “communist”

      How does one choose between such evils?

        It’s a fucking Nazi coward afraid to speak their true feelings. They say both sides, pretending they feel both were bad, but you can see their real opinion.

      If you look closely

      Holy fuck that is funny. As though an analysis of factual information were even in the realm of speculative potential for the republican brain.

        he thought the nazi’s were the good guys

        Quote him: “There were no ‘good guys’ in that war.”

        It isn’t enough to criticize him for not considering the Allies the good guys, but you just have to go that one step further and claim that he believes something that is directly contradicted by what he wrote?

        It’s like people are afraid of encountering someone who is less than 100% wrong/bad/evil, and refuse to believe there is anyone between ‘saint’ and ‘demon’. Must be exhausting living with such a starkly binary outlook.

            Or… he said “there were no good guys”, so claiming that he’s saying Nazis were the good guys is really, really stupid.

            “I think all vegetables are disgusting.”
            “He’s saying celery is delicious, guys.”

            Dopes.

              On paper it sounds funny, doesn’t it? How can a guy randomly saying everyone was bad in WW2 mean he secretly thinks Nazis were alright?

              Easiest way to get at the logic is to dissect people who say “both sides are the same.” How can that mean they’re actually pro MAGA or whatever? Didn’t they just say that both sides are the same? That’s against the rules of English! But it makes sense if you dig deeper.

    Good old GOP, still sending their best.

    In one specific interaction from Monday, White told a potential voter to “pull their skirt down” and that “nobody cares about your preferences,” to which the voter replied “f— you then! You just lost my families support.”

    Sure, there are no good guys in any war, since the good guys are never the ones with guns killing each other.

    But the more genocidal death camps you have, the bigger a baddy you are. It’s not that difficult to understand.

        I’m Jewish, I’m very aware that the side running brutal racist internment camps was meaningfully less bad than the side running brutal genocidal death camps. Neither qualify as good.

          The Axis existed as a coalition of countries who wanted to expand their lands at the cost of their neighbor’s lives.

          The Allies existed purely as a defensive response to the Axis.

          A person with a gun fighting to defend their families is not “just as evil” as a person with a gun invading the home of others. Before we even get into camps, unethical medical research, and genocide, you really can’t “both sides” this one.

            I don’t think it’s fair to characterize global colonialist powers like Britain, France, or the US as not violent expansionists.

              Don’t put words in my mouth.

              I characterized the Allies actions as a defensive response. And they provably were not violently expanding during WW2. I didn’t say a word about their actions and behaviors prior to WW2.

              The fuck do you suggest “good people” do facing invasion? Lay down and let the Axis steal, rape, murder, and genocide their way through Europe?

              Good people fight back against bad people. Saying or doing anything less is to be complicit in their actions.

                Apologies.

                But if being a violent expansionist makes the axis bad (which it obviously does) then the allies are clearly just less bad in this particular situation rather than actually good, since all the allied powers have extensive histories of violent expansionism.

                  Thank you.

                  I’m not saying you don’t have a point, but the people are not their countries, their ancestors choices, or their governments, and vice versa. I fundamentally reject the premise of your argument.

      Inaction is as much a choice as action. When an invader comes to your town and starts killing innocents like children, and you chose to not act, you’re a little bit complicit.

      Pacifists are just as unethical as the rest, because it allows, permits and other condones violence.

      they would have rather worked together

      The USSR spent the 30s trying to form an alliance with literally everyone in Europe to fight the guys who declared communism their enemy. The western allies expected Germany and Poland to invade the USSR, for them fascism was the answer to communism, hence why they gave the Sudetenland to Germany and Poland, made the Anglo-German declaration of 1938, and why Britain tried to join the Winter War, but was only stopped by Sweden refusing transit.

      The USSR wasn’t trying to work with Germany, they were taking the only path that would give them time to build up and draw the rest of Europe into its war with Germany.
