    other bangers commonly found:

    • soviet efforts barely mentioned, definitely no mention of who killed 80% of the nazis.
    • always has a bit about stalin vs hitler, the two totalitarian titans clashing, wow they’re the same
    • no mention of any non-aggression pacts except molotov-ribbentrop, no mention of allies giving czechoslovakia away, no mention of poland getting a piece of it, no mention of who eastern poland belonged to a few decades before

      The second one has been driving me mad lately. I cannot believe how literal nazi propaganda has become the mainstream historical narrative in the West. And they make sure to shove the double genocide bullshit in anywhere they possibly can even if it’s completely irrelevant. I’m currently reading Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, and the version I have has an introduction, which I made the mistake of reading. Within the first page there’s some bullshit about how this novella about European colonialism in Africa “forshadowed the totalitarian evils of Auschwitz and the Soviet Gulag”, then waxed poetic about some garbage by Solzhenitsyn. Anything to distract from the actual horrors of European colonialism I guess.

      And when someone points it out you get “muh lend lease american steel won the war”

    Watching all the WW2 documentaries made by anglos, there is always one common thing they have: underlying but visible regret that nazis lost the war.

    YouTube comments are the wild wasteland. It’s the last vestige of Old Internet Vibes. You get whiplash from reading heartfelt flash poetry about lost love, kids growing up, people dying; then you read an insightful addendum to some video; then you read the biggest fash; then the dumbest lib; then you get embroiled in a 300+ comment discussion about wether or not real rope was used on set in Pirates of The Carribbean 4.

    Gee, I wonder why it’s so easy to get fascist propaganda anywhere in the Anglosphere presented as fact, while getting commie propaganda is infinitely harder and comes with warnings that it’s from foreign state run media?
