As millions of Americans are about to go hungry due to the US government refusing to fund SNAP, just remember that only two countries voted against making food a basic human right. The US and the terrorist colony of Israel

    Right but you said it was ironic that the US is now like Nazi Germany. Implying they fought the Nazis out of anti-Nazism only to end up like Nazis themselves. That would indeed be ironic but that’s not what happened. The US were always like Nazis, the Nazis were literally inspired by America. They only fought the Nazis because they were attacked not because they had some moral integrity.

      No, the irony in the US’s case is that they were instrumental in their downfall, regardless of any hypocrisy. Germany were portrayed as the bad guys, the ultimate evil. And they were attacked by Japan, not Germany - they could have just gone after them, but chose to enter the whole war.

        They went after Germany because Germany declared war on them when they went to war to war with Japan. There’s nothing ironic about fascists getting into fights with fascists only to then… Still be fascist years later.

        If the US weren’t already fascist and went to fight the Nazis out of some sort of moral duty only to later wind up becoming Nazis themselves then yes that would be ironic.

        Instrumental as in playing both sides until the very end and taking claim of victory when every other allied forces had been doing the heavy lifting for years that led up to Nazi defeat.

        Sure, very “instrumental”

        Don’t let Hollywood and propaganda tell you otherwise tho.
