    British were all the way up to Thailand(?) by the time Nazis started expanding. Was it Nazi rhetoric too? Ever heard of phrase “the sun doesn’t set on British empire?”

    It’s funny how all west nation were into imperialism but then one goes overboard and all the blame is put on them. Everyone else gets a pass.

      Fuck off.

      Imperialism and fascism being similar in effect if you think history, wars, and conquest can be described by changed borders like in a fucking video game simply isn’t the same thing as a deliberate ideological war of extermination.

      Manifest Destiny is a fair comparison, especially as it is a specific inspiration of Lebensraum. Pretending all the 30’s empires were equally bad doing equally bad things is just Nazi apologia and their literal rhetoric, you useful idiot.
