I feel like the rest of the quote provides a bit of context:
The bad guys won in WWII. There were no 'good guys' in that war.
Not sure that I would call the US which was still practicing eugenics and had a large portion of the country under Jim Crow laws. Considering that White is black, I could understand him not seeing the US as good guys. The Soviet Union had a very recent genocide of their own. The UK also had some pretty abhorrent practices in Bangladesh that led to millions of deaths.
However, in comparison to the fucking Nazis, still going to say there was a more moral side.
That's actually not the full quote. The full quote show he was not talking about any of those issues at all. He was concerned with the allies being "liberal" and "communist"
It dawned on me today… The bad guys won in WWII. There were no “good guys” in that war. The controlling interests had a jump ball. If you look closely, you see the link between liberalism and communism in the Allied forces. Remember what Gen. Patton said and why they capped him.
Out of the three major blocks. The allies (not counting the Soviets) were by far the most humane. Even though they did quite some fucked up shit. It was nowhere near the scale of the Axis and the Soviet.
Lets not forget the soviets literally started the war with a Nazi alliance and invaded Poland and Finland for territory. They also committed great atrocities towards the polish population.
However. The allies were still coloinial powers who bombed civilians as a war tactic. They were far from “heavenly”.
I like to say that there was a bad side and an even worse side, so I'm glad the bad side won.
So we got "I'm a black nazi", another dude caught doing blackface, and "the bad guys won WWII"
FYI we're only doing state and local politics in the USA now, so no reason to connect Minnesota with North Carolina
obligatory mitchell and webb.
There was once a time, post Nixon, that Mn Republicans changed their name to Independent Republican Party, IR, to differentiate themselves from national Republican party.
They are full on magat franchise now.Wasn't the US a part of the winning team?
…that ended up getting a big number of the other team to start playing for them, instead. To say that’s had knock on effects would be an understatement.
