What's with worldnews banning me for saying the USSR didn't singlehandedly defeat the Nazis? (lemmy.zip)

I replied to someone saying that the USSR defeated the Nazis saying that it was a group effort. Got into an argument and called a Nazi repeatedly because "I was mad that the USSR defeated the Nazis and hated them for it" which is ridiculous. This isn't the first time that's happened on Lemmy. What's up with that?

Was not called a world war for nothing. There were tons of countries on the “Allies” side and tons on the “Axis” side. A simple search for WWII Allies member or WWII Axis members will show who fought on each side.

There are to many to list here. Britain, Soviet Union, USA, Canada and China to name a few for the allies.

Nazi Germany, Italy, Japan, Republic of Finland, Hungary for the Axis side.

Edit forgot Italy.

    You forgot to include USSR on the Axis side too.

    Consistently applying that logic would put nearly all the Allies on the Axis side

    A non aggression pact is avoiding war, not joining a side, in the majority of cases.

    Unless the pact includes defining who they can invade without stepping each other's toes like the USSR and Germany.

    the pact includes [not] stepping each other’s toes

    Hm.. like some sort of agreement to.. avoid.. aggression. I wonder what we could call that.

    Well the “non-aggression pact” was the only one that actually saw the start of WWII when the Soviet Union and Germany jointly invaded Poland and split the territory between the two. If Hitler hadn’t gotten greedy and turned on the Soviets, everything would have turned out differently.
