Note that prior to getting involved in the war, there was substantial support for the Nazis among Americans. It's always been there. It just got swept under the carpet for a few decades, though if you go back and look at the politics of the fifties, you'll see mcarthyism and all sort of court cases on indecency and lots and lots of violence against homosexuals.

I don't think I spelled mcarthyism correctly. It's early and I'm not inclined to bother spell checking.

Stopping fascism wasn't the point. After liberating the camps, they even threw the homosexuals right back in. (Source)

They were just worried that the USSR was going to beat them to Berlin, and then keep going across the entirety of Europe. Likely a valid concern, to be fair.

a nation that once liberated the world from fascism

It's gross how USAins keep parroting this nationalistic bullshit about their role in ww2.

You guys didn't liberate anything by showing up late for the war, and you tried your damnedest to spread your abhorrent racism in every country you landed in.

While a romantic prose, I wouldn't go saying they liberated the world of anything like that until it was almost too late.

But when they finally did fight, fuck yeah, they fought.

I should build a special little bookshelf with books banned by moms for liberty just for my kids.

Edit: talked to my SO, we're going to do a Little Free Library of them

"Moms for Liberty" is a straight up hate group. Like, I'm not doing that hyperbole thing. They are racist bigot fascists dead set on white, straight supremacy.

I guess the long lasting cultural effects of antiquated abrahamic religion is the cause. But horrific violence? Meh no prob. Make war not love, I guess.

It's mass sexual abuse for mind control.

It's a way to keep the Christian nationalists to keep voting. True of all the culture crap keep Christ in Christmas and stuff like that. If they can't keep the religious bigots voting then it will really go badly for the trumpy grumpies.

Moms for Liberty are just mad that the book doesn't portray the nazis as the good guys like their newsletter does.

They never have a problem with Mein Kampf.

I'm having problems parsing this sentence

unless they want to take care of education themself.

Oh, they do. That's part of the problem.

Because you are rooted there, you care about the people around you, and you want to improve things in your community. Not everyone is willing to just give up and leave their community to fascists.

Despite claims by school officials that the adaptation had not been approved, KFDM notes that the book “was on a reading list sent to parents at the start of the school year,” so the district’s suggestion that the teacher “went rogue” seems…not true at all in the, y’know, actual sense of the word. A source close to the teacher told KFDM that the school’s principal had approved a syllabus that included the book. “There is an active investigation,” Mike Canizales, a spokesperson for the Hamshire-Fannett ISD, told the outlet.
