Conservatives have accepted being Nazis so much that now they are saying Hitler was the good guy.

I was taught to admire Churchill. I stopped admiring him when I started to see a pattern of sacrificing others for his own vanity. Esp in WW1, but also during peacetime too.
However I will never fault him for standing up to the Nazi expansion of Europe. Fuck fascists. Nazis, Christian Nationalists, or otherwise.

Churchill was a fucken villain, and so was Stalin, and Hitler. Its almost like the past always fucking sucked and most leaders have always been assholes since we started this centralized power bullshit after hunting and gathering.

Sure.
But that’s not the point of calling him “the real villain.”

I feel like this could do with a bit more than just a “no, you’re wrong.”
But nobody comes to the comments for discussions apparently.

they dislike him because they like hitler.
it’s not a nuanced critique. they don’t like FDR either. And it’s so transparently obvious it’s disgusting.

No one is one dimensional. Everyone has good aspects as well as bad. Churchill was definitely a flawed man (look up what he did in India to feed the war effort) but he did see the allies through to victory.
However the idea that Churchill caused WWII by resisting and fighting back is bullshit revisionism aimed at stopping people standing up against a bully. And coincidentally that’s exactly what MAGA would love for you to believe.
Trump is the bully/rapist today and they want you sit down and accept it. So far the American people have done it, but there’s still some resistance out there. They’d like that to stop so they’re rewriting history to make resisting fascism a bad thing.
