second of all, none of the Allies had any problem on principle with fascism's goals. you can tell this because after they "liberated" Germany they sent a significant number of the Nazis' social prisoners, particularly queer people, back to prison to finish their sentences.

and boy did the US in particular love them some Nazi scientists if it meant getting one up in the Cold War. there was never a national opposition to fascism in the war, it was all militarism and pride.

Reminder that when Nazi germany was trying to figure out how to oppress everyone they deemed second class they sent lawyers and law makers to the US to learn how the US oppressed anyone who wasn't straight or white.

The US inspired Nazi germany to be as evil as possible. Everything we did to any marginalized group, even Native Americans, the Nazis used. Hell, you could make a direct connection to forced reservations and conversion camps natives were forced into to concentration camps

But all their boomer kids have spent their (and our) entire lives crowing about how their parents saved the world from fascism. Between that and our twisted way of teaching history it’s not surprising there’s a big disconnect.

Every allied power would have implemented fascism eventually. The only reason it got delayed for a generation is because that generation had seen its effects, and come home from war still armed and trained to fight it. Their kids though could be brainwashed by school and media.

i have literally seen no one on the left claim the us government was anti-fascism, most people are 100% talking about actual soldiers on the ground fighting against it directly
