:zizek: Pure ideology
6 million
Ever notice how the people trying to make communists look worse than Nazis always leave out the non-Jewish victims of the Holocaust, the soldiers killed in wars started by the Nazis, the Slavs killed in Generalplan Ost, &c &c?
Remember when the Nazi’s starved 15% of the population of Greece to death? “Centrists” don’t.

Yeah, what the actual fuck is with that? Every Nazi the USSR put in the ground is called a victim of communism, but Nazis are completely whitewashed to the point where they are “only” responsible for 6 million deaths. Even forgetting the (being generous) tens of millions of other deaths he caused, Hitler’s plan for the world was literally to starve, force into slavery and straight up murder billions of other people based on their race. How anyone can compare Hitler to Stalin or fascism to communism is absolutely pathetic and goes to show which of the two liberals are willing to whitewash.
I feel so bad for whoever that person is in the meme. Imagine just being out having a good time, then someone takes a photo of you and you are suddenly the personification of what millions of right winger freaks hate
To hear Americans tell it, the u.s. single handedly defeated fascism
And liberated the Jews in a touching act of humanity.
Oh wait, President Truman just received a message from some guy name Earl G. Harrison.
We appear to be treating the Jews as the Nazis treated them except that we do not exterminate them. They are in concentration camps in large numbers under our military guard instead of S.S. troops. One is led to wonder whether the German people, seeing this, are not supposing that we are following or at least condoning Nazi policy.
Strong boomer energy.
