    Judging by the amount of fascism around and the fact that Nazism still exists and is still celebrated in some circles … did World War Two end?

      The war was not against nazi/fascism. The Allies were happy to support them as a counter to “communism” until Hitler got too greedy.

      it was never about defeating nazism. if Hitler had stayed in germany, the world would have let him do all of his things

        WWII sent a very clear message. You can annex Austria. You can invade Czechoslovakia. You can take over Lithunia. But you don’t fuck with Poland

        Well, I mean, you can fuck with Poland a little bit. You just can’t take over, like, too much of Poland.

        we just operation paperclipped the nazis elsewhere into society

        When you look at the post war history and the fact that the Allies defeated the Nazis with the Communist Soviets … after the war, it was far easier to be a Nazi than it was to be a Communist. I’m in Canada and you can’t believe the number of Nazi loving or Nazi associated war veterans that made their way here and the US after the war.

      Sure it did, otherwise where would the US have hired all the scientists who performed morally questionable and extremely perverse experiments from?
