Literally every young man in America enlisted in that war. Stfu
read a history book...they had to start a mass propaganda campaign across the US just to convince americans that the germans were the bad guys. (prior to pearl harbor, at which point americans couldn't help but turn on their own asian-americans ontop of everything)
"whats so bad about wanting to hurt blacks and jews?" - average american wasp
Whataboutism. I was just lecturing my kid on Japanese internment camps. My eyes have been open for decades. Doesn't mean every young man didn't sign up to kill Nazis when we joined the war. I've spent my life obsessed with our warts. Glad everyone else has woke up, but some of us aren't on the extreme pendulum end anymore and can see a single redeeming fucking quality of this country. I just listened to an MLK speech this morning and he calls out the warts and talks about the dream. That's America. Some of us are old and angry and tired enough to take a breath and love the good half of this country.
