Poland and Finland, though there’s more nuance there than libs care to observe.
Both were fascist too, and de facto dictator of Finland Mannerheim had an episode when he pushed for commiting a treason against even his ultrareactionary country just to kill some commies.
Still, libs don’t seem to care about fascists unless they punch first. At least here in the US, they only view the Nazis and Japanese negatively, and even then only barely. To them all that matters is who punched first (from their perspective) and who killed more people (from their metrics). On some level, they recognize Nazi’s racism as exceptionally awful, but when they believe everybody has committed genocides in the tens of millions, it dilutes it horribly.
My Philosophy of Race professor once mentioned “soft denialism”, not about this specifically, but the concept of diluting and undermining the severity of a crime against humanity by arguing that everyone is guilty of something similar.
It’s pretty simple, they do hate whom the media oligopoly told them to hate. But there is not much space for complete rehabilitation of 3rd Reich and Japanese Empire since US fought a war against them and it is legitly the only really good thing US did in last century if ever, so it would look stupid to resign from that. And maybe it would cause some libs to ask the questions which are answered in “Inventing Reality”. So the narration of “totalitarianism” was born.
