I mean I don't think it's what this guy meant... But he's kind of right?
There were Nazi rallies in the United States during World war II. Many US corporations still in operation actively aided the concentration and execution of millions.
Autocracy is great for corporations. Here's a neat little list off the top of my head.
GE
IBM
Ford Motor Company
General Motors
ExxonMobil
Coca-Cola
Boeing
Raytheon
Honeywell
Dow Inc.
Dupont
JPMorgan Chase
Citigroup
Halliburton
Goodyear
General Mills
Caterpillar
Revlon
Pfizer
Lockheed Martin
And many, many more...
We were definitely not "The Good guys" through and through. We actively aided the bad guys. But I don't think that's what this person meant.
The appropriate response when a fascist makes a good point is to tell them to fuck off, because they're going to twist that to fit their bullshit.
The appropriate thing when a fascist makes a good point is to find a good rope and a gas station with some good eaves.
So who were "the good guys" in World War II in your estimation? Because someone defeated the Nazis and liberated the death camps.
I mean they literally said there were no good guys, no? It was bad people and worse people.
The good guy was Hitler and the Nazis, they were always friendly and waving to everybody.

This binary thinking is going to destroy the world, isn't it? Societies and human endeavors are a messy, complex business.
Yeah, remember how the world was destroyed in 1945?
Also, the Russians "won," and that hasn't gone so well for the rest of us since.
Still Trump claim Russia is totally without blame for invading another peaceful country. And Putin is really a nice guy who is just misunderstood.
So this is perfectly in line with MAGA crazy mental gymnastics.
There’s also that minor historical occurrence that’s referred to as The Cold War. It was pretty insignificant, you may not have heard of it.
Details details. 😋
