    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.

        Oh for fuck’s sake, we’re doing Patton conspiracy theories now!? He died from injuries sustained from smashing his head in a car accident, you weird Nazi!

          All famous people who died in cars are actually alive. Even if they’re super old! Isadora Duncan, James Dean, Paul Walker, Grace Kelly, Princess Diana… all alive.
