    We killed a whole bunch of Nazis about 80 years back and that worked out pretty well

      Well akshually - as a German who paid attention in history class:

      1. killing Nazis was an act of necessary self-defense to accomplish anything. A precondition, if you will
      2. what worked out pretty well was the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Plan and especially the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denazification - I will be forever grateful to the Allied Forces for getting this right. It made Germany the least fascist nation in Europe for well over 60 years.

      The long lasting effects were not permanent, unfortunately. I might like to ask for another allied victory over Nazi Germany soonish, with a new Denazification. Except there are no “Allied Forces” left that stand against Nazism :( And I am not trying to be dramatic, this is actually fucking with me for the past 10 years or so.
