Did fighting Nazis go out of fashion again?
The US was never really that against them. Their motivation in WW2 was not nearly as morally perfect as they like to pretend.
Before the war, Hitler was inspired by Jim Crow laws when creating the infamous Nuremberg Laws.
After the war - once the US secured unipolar hegemony - they absorbed more than 1500 former SS scientists into the US government.

Itβs sad how little you personally know about history and the circle jerk of fellow know nothings.
I keep seeing people making this argument in this thread but it's never backed up by anything, just insults and repeating propaganda. Can you imperialists at least engage with the historical discussions in this thread that you're pretending not to see?
I seem to remember the creator of Wolfenstein asking that question shortly before the release of one of their games, in the late 2000s I think. We should have seen the writing on the wall.
