What’s really funny is that 25 years into the War on Terror the writer can’t tell the difference between Hindu and Islamic faiths. I mean ‘know your enemy’ is basic military training.
There’s absolutely nothing about the original tweet that makes sense. India was a major contributor to the allied war effort, albeit not entirely voluntarily. Though I suppose the same could be said for most countries due to conscription and even the cancellation of elections.
Unfortunately, it does make sense through a neo-nazi lens. “The wrong side won WWII” and similar sentiments are getting a lot of traction on twitter, facebook, etc. right now. The OP in the image is sarcastically “glad” that the Allies won. He would have preferred that the nazis had won so the global third reich could protect Murfreesboro, TN from people who are different than him and fulfill whatever other twisted racist fantasies exist in these people’s minds.
It really makes you pessimistic about human nature that you can build a society where freedom is widely celebrated as the highest ideal, yet somehow still have it be incredibly oppressive.
freedom is always a balancing act: freedom from (persecution), freedom to (do what you like)
too much freedom from and you’re protected from making bad decisions and can’t do anything you want to do
too much freedom too and you get people persecuting their out group because it’s their right
imo america really has the freedom to as the only freedom a lot of people care about, and a lot of people have no understanding that freedom from is just as important; they champion freedom like that, and in some sense it’s kinda true
there’s an empathy barrier for those people: they’re not persecuted, so there’s no need for the freedom from (despite what they say about “christian persecution” this is freedom to discriminate and other shit wrapped in a freedom from facade)
(i’d also argue that american capitalism/corporatism is the anti-freedom-to: money gives you freedom to, and the dire economic state of the majority means most americans have token freedom to rather than actual ability to do what they like)
I just want the freedom to be left alone, I want to live as my forefathers did. In the woods with a hound and half insane before I crawl out in my mid 40s because it gets too rough at that point.

The enemy is melanin.

Not to mention colonies. Some gained independence after WW2

“Freedom” is the right to act exactly like I tell you to.
/s because it’s 2025.

It’s not a new concept.
Though it’s quite amazing, with the level of access to information we have today, how effective such propaganda is.
Though I suppose if you are manipulating that information to spin your agenda, maybe it’s not so surprising after all.

I mean in this case “enemies” is just “brown people.” It doesn’t matter what they call them.
