    Ima just post a comment I left on another morally nostalgic commenter:

    Well, we started out with a genocide so terrible Hitler idolized it and called it “The First Great Cleansing”. Also, you ever seen this image from the 1940’s? It’s in Madison Square Garden.

    Also, when did America join the fight against the axis powers? Oh, 2 years after the war began? Only after Pearl Harbor? You’d think a country so moral would join the fight against genocide quicker.

    America was never a good, decent or moral country.

    Henry Ford was a Nazi. Ringing any bells?

    More questions for the American Moral Supremacists:

    When were black people welcomed into the citizenship and regarded as equals?

    When did women get access to bank accounts?

    What happened to the buffalo?

      Yeah, welcome to every fucking nation ever. Show me a nation that’s been completely and utter clean with no mass genocides or atrocities and I’ll show you a god damn unicorn that shits rainbows.

      No one is going that America was a pristine fucking nation that has done no wrong outside of these Nazi Republicans but if you think that a single moment like this with these Nazis supporters being in the minority defined America even at that time, you need to read a history book. Also just because America was hesitant to join the war since you know the great depression, still reeling from WWI, among other factors doesn’t mean America was all “Go Nazis! Go!” that you’d like to paint America. Again, read a damn history book.

      But hey, you feel free to think that America was always full of Nazis and never made any progress, there isn’t anything I can say that will change your mind about that anyways.

      Regardless of what each of us thinks about the history of America, America’s got a very public, very vocal, and very much Nazis in power now and it’s going to suck.

        Nice excuses. I won’t be making them though. Those excusals got America to where it is right now. Turn the other cheek, nothing is bad because everything is bad. No progress, no looking back.

        Just anger, right now.
