a post about how many nazis remained in positions of power is made, the op is called a tankie and people defend the decision to keep nazis around

one of them tries the “but they were scientists” angle, as though NATO chief of staff is somehow a scientific position doing lab research or something? … and not, say, a position that is crucial for providing logistical, material, and financial support to right-wing terror networks of paramilitaries organized and activated to prevent the left from taking advantage of popularity over conservatism in recently liberated democratic countries delivered from from right wing fascists by leftist partisans and the red army.
also I’d really like to see these fuckers say Klaus Barbie and Reinhardt Gehlen were merely scientists.
Also the more clever among them will frequently try to conflate Paperclip (where the US enticed nazi scientists and helped them immigrate and gave them prominent positions) with Osoaviakhim (where the soviets kidnapped nazi scientists ) while ignoring Bloodstone (which actively sought out ideological nazis for western covert projects)
Yeah some dipshit already brought that one up, as if putting the head Nazi scientists and generals in charge of NASA and NATO is the same as forcing their scientists to work for the USSR as war reparations. Then some others in the thread cried whataboutism, lol
Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?
Boot lickers will cry about Soviets forcing scientists to work for them then executing or deporting them after they obtain the knowledge as a bad thing. I don’t know if the details are apocryphal or real, but I enjoy it anyway. Maybe it’s a bit harsh. Maybe it’s not when your knowledge helped the Nazis. Regardless, the German scientists should’ve been kept out of the spotlight. The one time America could’ve lied and stolen inventions while being morally correct, they decide to praise the Nazis helping them instead.
My bad didn’t see you already mentioned bloodstone
How fucked is the discourse when 4chan is a shining beacon of truth and light though
