Watch out, the enlightened centrist has arrived!

Winston Churchill, Adolf Hitler, well, they are both bad people. Let's root for neither of them.

I get what you're saying but you couldn't have chosen a worse example... Like yeah absolutely fuck Churchill lol, he's a huge part of the reason why we're in this mess with Israel now

Still I would have rooted for Churchill when it comes to the conflict of Nazi Germany versus Britain because I am able to separate actions from blindly supporting everything.

Iran to did absolutely horrible things. They sent a lot of children to die during their war with Iraq.

However, currently Iran is aiding Palestine and fighting Israel and they are not sending children to die for it. So I support that action.

Churchill ain't done shit to defeat Hitler, try with Stalin

[-] IttihadChe@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago

It's still a good example because as bad as Churchill was he was better than Hitler.

Was he, though? How many millions did he murder in the fabricated Bengal famine?

I'm not denying Churchills crimes or painting him as good.

How many would Hitler have murdered if he had similar control over the region? Just look at General plan Ost...

There's a reason the USSR tried to ally with Churchill against Hitler before hostilities even started.

Sure, you have a point, just wanted to remind people that western European countries enacted many genocides to similar scale than Nazi Germany (or greater)
