    It's just the lib love of the processes once again. The actual right wingers would either be full alt-right, spewing lies about Dresden and the clean Wehrmacht or they're at least the good ole boys type who don't give a shit who's on the receiving end of war crimes as long as it's the US doing it, which in a broken clock moment puts them on the correct side of things for this one.

    But any context that isn't explicity set into writing within a given process, to the lib, not only can be ignored, it has to be, else the process might be tainted by a human understanding of a situation and not the cold, rational application of the best thing science can muster that they believe it is. And seeing how there's no "the nazis really deserved it tho"-clause for this case, the entire situation gets reduced two two spherical actors in a vacuum doing things and thus, war crimes against nazis makes you the real nazi.

      Respectfully disagree here. Fash are not at all above cynically appropriating liberal or even socialist talking points and values if it suits their purpose at the moment. Why do you think they love to talk about "muh frozen peaches!!" so much? Why else did they say that they are a worker's party?

      And seeing how there’s no “the nazis really deserved it tho”-clause for this case, the entire situation gets reduced to two spherical actors in a vacuum doing things and thus, war crimes against nazis makes you the real nazi.

      This I agree with.
