Who's THE OTHER?
Commies like to talk about THE OTHER, which is a magic potion that turns all thinking by whites into
The Commie view of WW2 is purely defined by locating THE OTHER. For the Commie mind, we hated Japs solely because Japs are THE OTHER, and we rounded them up because they are THE OTHER, and we developed an atom bomb and used it without any provocation solely because Japs are THE OTHER.
I suppose they're right about one thing. Among the industrial countries that participated in big wars, Japs are certainly the most alien. They are an immiscible element, never assimilating in countries where they emigrate, and never allowing foreign immigrants in Japan. Their language is unrelated to Euro languages, and their religion and culture are completely impenetrable.
Unfortunately for the Commie delusion, none of this was reflected in our actual news and propaganda DURING the war. After Pearl Harbor we paid very little attention to the Japs.
Our Navy and Air Force and Marines were ferociously and desperately fighting the Japs for control of all those little Pacific islands. We were losing thousands of men to gain each square mile of useless coral atolls, partly because we were unwilling to use poison gas.
All of this was happening with very little notice. Something like 80% of our attention was on the Krauts.
Are Krauts THE OTHER? Precisely not. Krauts ʁ US. By genes and culture, 20th century Americans were more German than anything else. Away from the coasts, nearly everyone is part Kraut. These maps of languages other than English in US show the pattern nicely. Spanish is the most common now, but that's a post-WW2 development. Eliminating Spanish, the older German dominance is obvious. Even now, 110 years after most of the immigration, German is still spoken in households.
In fact we were fighting Japs (THE OTHER) solely because they attacked us, and we weren't especially interested in that side of the war. We were fighting Krauts (OURSELVES) because they were attacking our old enemy England, and our hatred was riveted on that side of the war.
