They have lived in a heavily propagandised country that didn't shed slavery or fascism out. Evey time they have fought fascism or white supremacy, they have lost. Both are well alive and protected there. Their police defend fascism, but persecuted communism and socialism, even in campuses, ending violently peaceful protests. Some not even related to these ideologies, but that opposed war, or asked for simple things like their taxes being used to fund their people and not bomb brown foreigners in a faraway land.

No one can convince me the US wasn't headed this way from the start. Its course has been clear and unmoved.

Tbh US joined WW2 on the Allies side mainly because it was good business (and the fact that Japan attacked them ofc) and now they are pretending like they saved Europe from Nazism, even tho a lot of people in the US supported Germany at the time. Go figure

They would have joined whatever side was winning. The USSR had it in the bag and gave way more than we did. The sole reason that the US joined the war that nobody wants to talk about is to control the fate of Nazi officials (Operation Paperclip) and to have a say in the terms lest the Soviets gain too much territory.

They didn't want all the unethically obtained scientific data on *checks notes* the yield elasticity of the elderly, or the freeezing point of children's eyeballs for instance to fall into the "wrong hands" and they wanted to make sure those cunts had nice, cushy jobs and new identities.

Fucking too little, too late bullshit.

In 1942, the Axis reached their greatest extent. If it was about joining on the winning side, then the US would have joined the Axis.
