Why do the Italians escape the stench of Fascism and WWII, I think most Americans probably think they were on our side rather than run by Mussolini and on Hitler’s side.


Or why the Austrians seems to get off the hook, when some of the most fanatical Nazis were from Austria.

It isn’t about them being the same as, it is about how completely they escape it, Russia, Italy, Japan all escape the evil branding of WWII and Hitler to some degree, or totally, they were all guilty and Japan should be known in the same way as Germany is, or close to it.

And the Nazis were not white supremacists, but Norduc supremacists. They slaughtered blond blue eyed Poles


Yet, Hitler admired Piłsudski. He even offered Poland to join the Anti-Comintern Pact, because he thought they would be useful when Germany made their eventual attack on the Soviet Union. When the Poles refused, it was from that point on that Hitler swore to eliminate the Polish race.

I need some context. I disagree with the swastika but whats this about a noose. Is this a noose like in that NASCAR hoax where it was just a pull on a garage door. Or is this a hangmans noose on the wooden thingamajig where you can clearly see they are hanging people

The Confederate flag, stars and bars and the battle jack should be considered patriotic and placed prominently to be seen.

It makes all the nazis in Ukraine that we supported look like acceptable good guys now. How wonderful. What next, ISIS leaders visiting the White House and then calling MTG a "traitor"? Oh wait a minute......

The left: “You’re a fascist Nazi racist white supremacist!”

Broken down: “You’re ... white!”
We’re way past sticks & stones.

The left are collectivists - they want to ignore individuals and group people as “black”, “white”, “welfare” etc.

I note that new immigrants from Africa don’t want to be labelled “black” but by their ethnicity

The Italians between the wars - the lower classes had strong, friendly feelings towards the USA and Americans, while the upper classes were Anglophiles.

They both despised Germanics (mostly Austrians due to history).

No wonder they didn’t want to fight for mustache man

They do that because

1. they didn’t behave abominably towards the French or yugoslavs or Greeks

2. they were barely enthusiastic about an overseas empire

3. they switched half-way through (the same reason we don’t remember that the USSR entered the war as the Nutzi’s ally
