    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?

      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.

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

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