    Sure, there are no good guys in any war, since the good guys are never the ones with guns killing each other.

    But the more genocidal death camps you have, the bigger a baddy you are. It’s not that difficult to understand.

        I’m Jewish, I’m very aware that the side running brutal racist internment camps was meaningfully less bad than the side running brutal genocidal death camps. Neither qualify as good.

          The Axis existed as a coalition of countries who wanted to expand their lands at the cost of their neighbor’s lives.

          The Allies existed purely as a defensive response to the Axis.

          A person with a gun fighting to defend their families is not “just as evil” as a person with a gun invading the home of others. Before we even get into camps, unethical medical research, and genocide, you really can’t “both sides” this one.

      Inaction is as much a choice as action. When an invader comes to your town and starts killing innocents like children, and you chose to not act, you’re a little bit complicit.

      Pacifists are just as unethical as the rest, because it allows, permits and other condones violence.
