    Was Germany a Genocidal State 80 years ago? Have they reformed? Did we do it, or did they reform themselves?

    Supporting the lesser of two evils is how we ended up in this mess. A vote for the lesser evil is still a vote for evil.

    It’s okay to condemn both, we don’t need to support one side over the other.

      Yes

      Have they reformed?

      No, they’re overwhelmingly supporting Isntreal’s genocide of Palestinians

      Did we do it, or did they reform themselves?

      They famously were defeated in a war after losing millions of soldiers thanks to the Soviet Union

      No, the west consistently supported the greatest evil: the zionist entity. Iran was well in its path towards progressivism in the 50s-60s, secularism and democratic reform were popular under Mosaddegh, and the west famously toppled their government through economic and less tasteful means because the UK wanted to keep exploiting Iranians for cheap oil.

      The western allies in World War Two were a lesser evil though (and more evil than modern Iran)! Would you have refused to support them against the Nazis?
