I have to admit, the way that generic antisocialists casually whitewash Axis personnel astounds and fascinates me.

Few of them say outright that the Fascists were heroes who fought bravely to save Western civilization and the white race from Asiatic hordes and Judeo‐Bolsheviks. Instead, most antisocialists rely on far subtler methods: ignoring Axis war crimes as much as possible, promoting the ‘clean Wehrmacht’ and ‘clean Regio Esercito’ myths, blame any atrocities entirely on a single individual, or—my favourite—blaming anything and everything on us, as usual.

Some antisocialists like to identify or insinuate that they’re also antifascist, but it’s pretty clear from their arguments (e.g. ‘harming people for having different opinions on stuff is fascist!!’) and their repetition of boring trivia (‘National SOCIALIST!!!’) that their knowledge of modern history is very shallow, hinting that they don’t take Fascism seriously after all. I really wonder if they even know basic history like the invasion of Manchuria or the reinvasion of Ethiopia…
