To me it’s always been the funniest historical take bc it requires forgetting the events of World War Two

the allied powers, including but not limited to the usa, uk, france, australia and the soviet union
and who actually won the war by making it to berlin and getting hitler to lmao himself in the head? and at the time that happened who was busy trying to help as many nazi generals flee the country to avoid being executed and give them cushy jobs in various post war intelligence agencies?
all of the above
no actually only one army made it to berlin. and one army and intelligence agency were busy rescuing nazi generals from partisans in italy so they could head up the post war german intelligence agency, and only one side put nazi generals into their post war armies.
They made it to Berlin in lend-lease Jeeps
due to the allied operations and material support on the other side they made it when they did. almost like they were military allies or something.
Wehrmacht officers made up like 75% of the East German high command what are you talking about.
Osoaviahkim is less catchy than Paperclip, unfortunately
credit to the soviets though they at least made them do it in a gulag
Yeah I do have to hand them that one bit
By contrast, the Soviets took Nazi party members like Peter Adolf Thiessen and uh, put them in charge of their nuclear programs? Used Wehrmacht officers as the general staff of the East German military? Come on now.
"Liberals always side with fascists" I say, while behind me someone shovels the records of nazi-soviet negotiations, agreements, and cooperation into a furnace. (For the record using this as a political attack 80 years later is dumb but it is astonishing how much it reveals)
No, no, see, it actually fits with WWII if you ignore all the bits that contradict it
Who can forget when liberals partitioned Poland with fascism
Who can forget when the liberals of two global empires with violently oppressed subject populations numbering in the millions had a big meeting to allow the fascists to carve up Czechoslovakia
but but something something operation paperclip (do NOT ask what the soviets did with many former nazis)
DDR guy haughtily lecturing a Westerner about how they *actually* got rid of their Nazis before heading off to a meeting with the We Were Literally All Gestapo Agents Until Five Minutes Ago division of the Stasi.
The DDR's denazification programme was brilliantly effective. Now I'm going to take a big sip of my coffee and look at the latest German electoral map.
PR China the only country so far to achieve non-Nazi human space flight
Sometimes I go mad thinking about how their space program was started by a Chinese-American genius McCarthyism forced out of NASA
Yeah exactly operation paperclip, white boy 👍

Radikewl leftists on BlueSky have made misremembering WW2 a weekly occurrence.
something it is remarkably difficult to do
I’m telling this to a liberal drowning in the icy waters off Murmansk in 1943 and he’s not being very patient about it
Commies had a lot more to do with winning the war than US liberals. And liberal governments have historically supported dictators against leftist governments around the world. The world is begging y'all to inform yourself.

Online stalinists somehow still missed the appointment of Comrade Dmitrov to Comintern in 1934
