There are people who are old enough to remember the time when one could shoot Nazis without alienating any American. Times where patriotic Americans put their lives in danger (and too often lost them) when shooting Nazis.

It is time to re-awaken this memory.

Americans didn't want to fight the Germans because they were white. That's why it took Pearl Harbor for us to formally join ww2. It's racism all the way down.

Yeah everybody conveniently forgets that America only joined the fight because of the Japanese and that we also threw Japanese-American citizens in internment camps due to paranoia.

There were American protestors that were arguing in favor of letting the Nazi's do whatever they want.

We often look at that time in history as if it were a long time ago when it's been less than 100 years. We act as if we're not the same dumb animals just cause now we have the internet and can see all this shit live.

While we're sharing atrocities of our nations past, Canada also had them.

None dare ask how all those copies of The Protocols of the Elders Of Zion ended up in Henry Ford's dealerships, scattered all across Western Europe.
