My Army Air Corp (WW2)/Airforce (Korea) sergeant grandfather thought that fascists deserved to get their asses kicked, & I'm proud to have known him so well before he died.
I feel like posts like these show how much bots and actors can sway information and perspectives.
Last week, the the prevailing narrative on reddit was that "um actually the Nazis were inspired by Americans, most Americans back then actually supported the Nazis and only joined the war when Japan attacked".
And then this week the narrative is that every American back then was a progressive who joined WWII for purely ideological reasons.
No matter what, I'm sick of algorithms being hijacked to artificially push messages, regardless of what I think of those messages.
