I hate talking to American boots, it’s the intersection between “what we did was good” and “I’m not guilty for what we did”. Stop being fucking proud of participating in the war crime machine.

Maybe someone with more patience than me can explain to this person why it’s actually bad that they served in the international murder and oppression force. If you reply to them, please keep in mind that this person is still a human being, even if they’re extremely propagandized and wrong. I don’t think bullying is going to accomplish anything here.

NOTE: IF YOU POST IN THE LINKED THREAD, RESPECT THE INSTANCE RULES AND BE CIVIL. Let’s not make a mess in federated communities for no reason. midwest.social is a leftist instance as well.

    I understand what you’re saying, but this also excuses German nazi soldiers. American soldiers should be ashamed. Everyone knows what the US military does, it’s not a secret.

      Yup. Let’s get this straight about England’s problem with the NAZIs: NAZIs think that colonialism need not only been done at a distance. NAZIs will colonize their own people. The civilized British would only colonize at a distance. At least since the 16th century. So the moral compasses of the West are still bent around treating other sovereign nations as resources.

      hegemon gonna hegemon.

      So I agree NAZIs make every argument worse … the dudes in the Wehrmacht loved their country as much as these people love the USA. And I have no solutions.
