I live in one of the deeply unserious European countries where double genocide is essentially our mainstream WW2 narrative. I was an adult when I found out that I’ve been literally taught a nazi distortion of the Holocaust in middle school and high school. I had to do my own research to realize the scope of my country’s participation in the Holocaust, which was relegated to footnotes in history textbooks and glossed over by my teachers. You can bet that the Ribbentop-Molotov pact was repeatedly hammered into us as this vile alliance between equally evil empires, though.
I beg any liberals who might be reading this thread in genuine good faith: read the article linked further up and do your best to at least consider the perspective it presents.

Same here in the US. WW2 started when Hitler and Stalin made an evil alliance to take over and partition Poland. Pay no attention to the very similar non-aggression pacts the UK, France, etc. had made with Nazi Germany.
