You brave Americans sat it out until the Japanese attacked you.

I assume they skip over that bit in US high school?

Fucksake Twitter. To make it ABUNDANTLY clear.

"Raar. We won WW2!" Unnuanced bullshit is just that: bullshit. Here in the real world, nobody gets to wag a finger at any other country and feel morally superior. The very idea of it is bollocks.

Stop playing COD and read history.

If you want to read some real profiles in the lack of national courage go Wiki the Evian Conference. Or read the transcripts of the Brit/French/Yank Parliamentary/Senatorial/Congressional debates post-Kristallnacht.

"It's bad. But hey, he's doing it to his own people, not ours!"

Those debates, by the way, will feel eerily similar to anyone who has had to sit and listen to Priti Patel or any other country's plastic fascists talk about refugees now.

It's all thoughts and prayers, and sad faces about wanting to do the right thing but ya know. Foreigners.

Fuck it. You lot are getting a thread on Robert Smallbones tomorrow.

Internet needs reminding that humans get saved when other humans stand tall and refuse to do nothing. Not because one country or other decided to waved a flag at the right time.

Here's your pre-homework for that thread. Go read about Mary Burchell.
