Yeah everybody conveniently forgets that America only joined the fight because of the Japanese and that we also threw Japanese-American citizens in internment camps due to paranoia.

There were American protestors that were arguing in favor of letting the Nazi's do whatever they want.

We often look at that time in history as if it were a long time ago when it's been less than 100 years. We act as if we're not the same dumb animals just cause now we have the internet and can see all this shit live.

While we're sharing atrocities of our nations past, Canada also had them.
