Society has no doubt regarding who the bad guy is. But let’s check who are the good ones.

Churchill?

A man without any empathy, who views all of humanity as pawns to satisfy his obsession with a great British Empire. Completely enslaved by vices such as alcoholism and gambling, which prey on the weakest characters, unable to cope with their own insecurities. He raised his children in such a way that most of them struggled with dependencies on alcohol and psychological problems their entire lives.

A politician whose only problem with Nazi Germany was, in fact, that if they won, the British would no longer be the dominant power in the world. Churchill did not hold any softer views on the supremacy of the Aryan race and considered it entirely natural. Concentration camps in Kenya or the use of gas against Iraqis and Afghans were not at odds with his moral views. He wanted to destroy Bulgaria to such an extent that Sofia would be reduced to potato fields. For him, an enemy was simply anyone who refused to accept the inherent right of the British to rule over others.

Stalin?

A leader who slaughtered his own people with the same indifference he showed toward others. For whom every single problem could be solved solely and exclusively through murder. A believer that human beings belong in labor camps. One who forced collectivization, even when it meant starvation for those who actually worked. He established a regime that aimed to strip the entire human race of its individuality and uniqueness.

To him, a human being has no value whatsoever—neither for being alive nor for being one of a kind. Power and control are the only things that matter, and any sacrifice is justified in their name. Even if you were among his closest confidants just yesterday, if you’re a nuisance today, nothing can save you. And to this day, he is considered a hero by many.

Or maybe Roosevelt?

Hiding behind the need for compromise during wartime, Roosevelt saw no problem in standing alongside the two great villains of his era. Behind the mask of a charismatic leader lay yet another unscrupulous, manipulative, and power-hungry man. The entire success of his politics rests on the fact that he told everyone what they wanted to hear, even going so far as to smile at Stalin while sacrificing half the world. He himself had no moral ideology, was unfair to Japanese Americans, and was entirely willing to trample on human rights. In his personal life, he is not a loyal husband, but that makes sense, because his wife was actually wonderful and had true moral principles.

Roosevelt himself said we should judge him by the enemies he made. But that’s just a diversion—he should actually be judged by his allies.
