> tell me who were the good guys in WW2? The ones that killed hundreds of millions more than the Nazis?

The Allies.

The Nazis, the ones committing genocide, they are the bad guys.

> The notion that Allies were good guys is just pure white supremacy - that non white causalities don't count.

The notion that the Allies were the good guys in WW2 is not white supremacy. The fact that the Allied countries did bad things outside WW2 does not mean they were not the good guys during WW2.

Are you seriously trying to tell me the Nazis/Axis powers where the good guys in WW2?.

The Soviets were pretty bad. Allying with the Nazis against the Soviets would have been less wrong.

The thing is that there a lot of direct victims of Soviet crimes or their relatives who are still alive and remember their atrocities.

The Nazis on the other-hand generally just murdered everyone they hated (losing all of your property + 10 years in the gulag wasn't really an option if you were a Jew in eastern Europe...).

Except, the allies killed way more people. They just happened to be non white. You are a white supremacist for downplaying it - essentially saying those genocides don't matter as it happened to brown and black people.

Do you have some serious reading comprehension problems? I am saying both are bad. If you just look at the ww2 alone, then Nazis were bad, but if you look at everything that was happening around the world, then the allies were much much worse. As bad as Nazis were, the Allies were much much worse.

Can you please clarify who are the more people non-white people the allies killed? I am utterly confused. You are talking about WW2 here, right?

not just WW2, everything that lead to it, everything that the allies were involved in when WW2 was going on etc. I mean, most of the atrocities that the Nazis did were to the German Jews who were not part of the WW2 at all. Does this mean those doesn't count? This kind of logic stumps me.

For the record, i responded your question almost instantly and HN didn't let me post. Got an error saying i am typing too fast.
