What we see happening with the collective west today makes a lot more sense when you know the history.

Her lineage is impressive.
A blend of the worst imaginable from the US side (slavery) and European side (anti workers and nazism).
The real western royalty

That is nonsense.
The nazis would, and did stay on the friendly US/UK nazi side unless they were captured by the Soviets.
They could've also deservedly shot them in the face.
But unlike the USSR most of them got rehabilitated and whitewashed.

Maybe it was a bit too subtle, but I'm saying that was the justification within the Allies, not that I agree with it personally

They can use some scientists as a pragmatic choice but that doesn't excuse why they saved 1000's of zero value SS troops and low ranking nazi filth. Sometimes with great effort.
There is no justification for that.
It can only be explained by them being aligned and protecting them.

Franco's Spain existed at the same time as USSR, and fascist state was deemed a vacation spot while the USSR was a existential threat. That was the moment when my mind went... wait, what.

It make perfect sense when you ask the question: "for which class?".
