There’s so much Nazi apologia from liberals going on It’s actually mind blowing. The only people calling out this whole situation are communists and weirdo conservatives. Here’s the thing though, those conservative are sharing picture of “gay” Hitler, turning the progress flag into a swastika, and attacking Liberals with “groomer” allegations fuelled by transphobia. Lets not get it twisted, the only reason why conservatives are talking about this incident is because the Prime Minister is a Liberal, had Pierre Poilievre been PM it would be crickets at best or support at worst. Even when the conservatives in parliament were standing and clapping along their supporters were running defense for them, using the same “they didn’t know, it’s the PM/Speaker’s responsibility” rhetoric that the Liberals are using. Two sides of the same coin except one side hates 2SLGBTQ+ explicitly.
There’s a list somewhere showing how almost all the western allies had various treaties and pacts with the Nazis, with the Soviets only entering in to Molotov-Ribbentrop after all the Western Allies had cut deals with Hitler assuming the Nazis would invade the USSR first. The Allies planned to let Hitler wipe out the Slavs then feast on the carcass of Germany while it was weak from the war. Apparently Stalin spent a lot of the 30s trying to get anyone to agree to go in and crush Hitler before Germany could re-arm and every other power shut him out because, of course, they were all very keen on the Nazis solving their communism problem.
That’s essentially what the entire 30s in the book is about.
