      This, but like, not as a joke. They actually were, check the NYT for some suspiciously positive coverage of Hitler in 1939.

      Seriously, less than two weeks before the war started and long after camps were opened and Czechoslovakia was invaded.

        More evidence that appeasement theory was always just revisionist propaganda.

        They wanted to appease Germany right into invading the USSR. Getting him to invade countries was the point!

      Literally half of Reddit Politics in the modern era.

      Anyone remember when that site was just spillover from tech forums, and the worst thing you had to put up with was some wanna-be econ nerd who stanned Ron Paul?
