One- white Americans will never understand how Lebenstraum (and Manifest Destiny) fuck up the psyche of its victims- especially in regards to like, foreign policy during the cold war. Like, gee, I wonder why the Warsaw Pact was a thing?? Two- Nazis past, present and future need to be [redacted] on sight. Absofuckinglutely a disgrace. Like the fact that the red army didn't empty every German city and village on the way to Berlin speaks volumes on the difference between those ideologies, and yet somehow Americans think Nazis and Communists are literally the same thing. Fuck
I don't think Americans can comprehend what it is like to be invaded and exterminated. On a side note, are there any good films on the Sino-Japanese War in WW2?

This is very true and I would probably extend that to not just Americans, but to the entire Anglo world and maybe even the majority of the European one as well.

Native Americans certainly can.
The Human Condition is really good, altho it is from the perspective of a Japanese pacifist (and kinda an idealist socialist).
and yet somehow Americans think Nazis and Communists are literally the same thing.
They are though, that's why the communists filled the East German government with former Nazis after taking control there
Related, 2-3 million civilians were killed in the Korean war, which is roughly 10% of the entire population. From Wikipedia:
Almost every substantial building in North Korea was destroyed as a result.[372][373] The war's highest-ranking US POW, Major General William F. Dean,[374] reported that the majority of North Korean cities and villages he saw were either rubble or snow-covered wasteland.[375][376] North Korean factories, schools, hospitals, and government offices were forced to move underground, and air defenses were "non-existent".[370] In November 1950, the North Korean leadership instructed their population to build dugouts and mud huts and to dig tunnels, in order to solve the acute housing problem.[377] US Air Force General Curtis LeMay commented: "We went over there and fought the war and eventually burned down every town in North Korea anyway, some way or another, and some in South Korea, too."[378] Pyongyang, which saw 75 percent of its area destroyed, was so devastated that bombing was halted as there were no longer any worthy targets.[379][380] On 28 November, Bomber Command reported on the campaign's progress: 95 percent of Manpojin was destroyed, along with 90 percent of Hoeryong, Namsi and Koindong, 85 percent of Chosan, 75 percent of both Sakchu and Huichon and 20 percent of Uiju. According to USAF damage assessments, "Eighteen of twenty-two major cities in North Korea had been at least half obliterated."[366] By the end of the campaign, US bombers had difficulty in finding targets and were reduced to bombing footbridges or jettisoning their bombs into the sea.[381]
You'll likely never see a major movie made about this. And people question why North Korea pursued nuclear weapons.

They don't even get that far
Top 10 movie for me, but I'm an absolute sucker for ww2 stuff so
The japanese red army and some of the early 60s era antifa were the way they were because it was a bunch of young radicals finding out their parents and grand parents were all Nazis and everyone in government at that time had been a massive fascist. It broke some of those people's brains in a very real way, like call of cthulu style lost a sanity check. I have no idea how you can reconcile that kind of then-recent history and everyone's walking around like it's perfectly normal meanwhile everyone in government says basically goering and shit. Like, anti-japaneseism and shit.
It's a shame cause the USSR put former partisans and resisters in power and that must've been way more healthy psychologically speaking, you could actually deal with the history of your country.
Mudbound is the klan equivalent movie for me. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to rewatch it. Kill them all
