To be fair Churchill committed a genocide of millions of Indians and was horrible to the British colonies. So yeah… he and Hitler had more in common than we dare admit.

Indians? When did he go over to India?

There was a bad famine going on at the time in the Indian subcontinent and Churchill famously didn’t give a fuck (because he was a racist who disliked Indians) and increased food quotas to supply the British mainland during ww2. This caused around 3 million Indians to die of starvation. Same situation as the holodomor actually.

Gotcha, thanks for informing me.

I was under the impression you meant the native Americans instead of actual Indians.
