-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I mean there's literally no question about the Nazis being a genuinely evil fascist regime. But it is pretty obvious looking back that WWII only happened because it was primarily happening against white people - we're seeing another holocaust-scale event right now but it's totally okay because it's happening to the "right" people this time.
If the original Nazis targeted any other group of people, they probably would have gained and held on to global support from the major world powers, like Israel has right now.
If the Nazis had just not had their Western campaign at tje same time as they went East, Western Europe and the US would have ignored them even if they beat the USSR and created slsve societies out of every nation to their east.
I mention this because whiteness is flexible, it changes based on sociopolitical need by the dominant class. Germans could have gone after Jewish people and Slavs and the non-USSR "Allies" would have supported them. Jewish Europeans are white today and so are most Slavs, socially, though liberals would really like to push back on both of thoss things.
Pretty much. The only reason any "leaders" outside the USSR got involved is because it was hurting their own personal interests and their bottom line. If those atrocities were happening to anyone else (or even just anywhere else), world "leaders" would either have supported them or not gotten involved at all.
Sure, the people on the ground did genuinely just want to put a stop to it, but their commanders and leaders didn't really care about mass genocide - they just cared that it was the "wrong" people being killed.
Britain and France declared war 2 days after Poland was invaded.
AKA the Phoney War period where it was nearly all just on paper or defense of British or French assets.
It was not until France was invaded that they really did anything.
You are suggesting that the Holocaust was the cause of WWII. That is not the case. Likewise, if the Nazis only targeted German Jews, disabled, etc., Churchill and friends would have wagged their finger but continued supporting them.
