....
The Nazis were very open about who inspired them.
It was America's treatment of the mentally ill, the genocide of Natives, race based slavery, and just overall LGBTQ treatment.
It wasn't a secret at the time, but it's rarely taught these days.
American and the allies didn't fight because of what Germany was doing to people, it was because they were invading other countries with no signs of stopping.
Hell, the guy that essentially won the war for the allies was chemically castrated for being gay by England,after the war was over and he was a global hero
If you think WW2 was about human rights, you've been misinformed
No, I thought the Never Again promise was about human rights. And I was misinformed about that as well.
It also raises challenge to the notion of legitimate claim (of anyone to anything), since any of us can be unpersoned by whatever entity has the greatest war machine. It also eliminates even the possibility of government by consent. No one can consent to anything so long as someone is threatening them since that threat is a compelling factor.
Something to think about as we move closer to the development of technologies that can command and organize killer drones by the millions.
Israeli Zionists will tell you with a straight face that Never Again was only applicable to the Jewish people. Everyone else is fair game.
