    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.

      As a person of Dutch descent who is alive today because US GIs liberated a concentration camp right before my grandmother starved to death, this is extremely offensive, and you can go fuck yourself with your puerile contrarianism.

        Shutting down a few concentration camps is not ‘liberating the world from fascism’.

        My grandparents and their families were in the camps too, and most didn’t come out alive. I’m not detracting from the atrocities of ww2 by telling the American to stop spouting propaganda.
