2. You know what those Japanese soldiers were, no matter when they surrendered? Losers!

3. Funny he brings up WWII since "America First" was a very prominent conservative group in the 1930's

And they supported letting Hitler do whatever he wanted in Europe.

And also NOT letting Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazi regime into the USA.

It's NOT an 'agenda in it's infancy' at all actually.

Same ol' US fascists we've have around for 80+ years.

They're the people that were at the Madison Square Garden Nazi rally that the documentary came out about a couple years back.

6. IKR so really dumb too on history or dumbing down others to join thinking it's new

or revolutionary
Many of Antifa Dr. Seuss political cartoons were about the America 1st Movement
We have his collection of cartoons in a book here at home & they’ve already been passed on to my teens They can’t forget this part of American /world history
For others who don’t know -a little history of his political artwork Here

7. The Dr. Suess cartoons of the era are what led me to look further into it ...

Charles Lindbergh (a virulent racist and Nazi sympathizer) was a prominent leader of the 'America First' confederation.

11. +1 plus being "cartoons" by the cat in the hat guy helped to relay the history

early in their teens leading them to explore more as they grew up
Yes big hero Lindbergh was big time Nazi lover

Another cluster that always shocked me was Nazi sympathizers in England who existed there while their country was being bombed and under attack even turning into secret spies for Hitler giving Nazis bomb targets
Also I remember many of the English Nazis were wealthy so money too was being given to attack themselves !!!

'If Auschwitz had been in Hampshire,' the playwright Edward Bond wrote, 'there would have been Englishmen to guard it.' Reading the transcripts of the conversations that Nancy Brown and her friends had with Eric Roberts, when they discuss their loathing of Jews, and which of their acquaintances they would like to see killed, there can be little doubt that they would have been willing volunteers. Britain's history may be different from Germany's, but it does not follow that we are different.

4. I bet he identifies with the non-American side on every war

5. The world's solution in WWII was to kill Nazis and fascists until they stopped killing decent people

[mr_lebowski]

9. Not the US persons who called themselves part of the 'America First' group back then ...

They were Nazi sympathizers. Literally. And they were vehemently opposed to letting in Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi horrors to the USA. Keeping out those refugees was a major animating issue for their outfit. Sound familiar?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

10. Yep. Charles Lindbergh was in America First.

Edit to add: I see you pointed that out in an earlier post above.

Every so often a large part of the planet goes simultaneously insane.

8. Yeah

there were some Japanese soldiers who kept fighting in the jungle for decades after the war. Nakamura specifically didn't believe the war was over, and thought leaflets they dropped to tell them were American propaganda. So he kept fighting. Eventually somebody was able to go into the jungle, make contact with him, and convince him to come out.

Of course, the real moral of this story is that despite him spending most of his life living in a jungle by himself (one other guy for most of it), it changed NOTHING. Japan has still surrendered, the Emperor gave up power, and their military was dismantled. By the time Nakamura came back to Japan, it had changed so much that he didn't recognize it. He spent most of the rest of his life trying in vain to promote and recreate the 1930's Japanese culture that he had left behind.

So, the point of this tweet, if he knows it or not, is that if you fight for a lost cause you will just waste your life and still lose in the end anyway.
