    I thought killing Nazis was one of the great American pastimes though? I feel that this was a concrete step towards Making America Great Again.

      Killing Nazis was a favorite pastime of the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. (Fascism encourages killing one’s own allies to rise through the ranks or to “cull the weak”.)

      America just showed up late to massacre Japanese civilians (We killed more with normal bombs than with the nukes.), let most of the actual Japanese war criminals in power go, and then claimed we were the ones that killed the Nazis.

        Don’t forget the entire cities we set on fire.

        Sometimes I really hate the propaganda machine I grew up in
