It's rather depressing that our best chance at getting rid of him is one of his dumb bazinga cars destroying itself with him in it.

feeling the lack of a Henry Ford emoji

yes. the west has been trying to do that in various ways since probably 1930

Exactly. When WW2 is involved since the bad guys were the west, it’s “there’s two sides to every story”

But try explaining that if by their logic, Nazi Germany is wholesome chungus this whole time, does that mean the Soviet Union wasn’t all that bad? They’d go ballistic.

I need more psychology personality profiles on Stalin and Hitler to understand the events that surrounded the war. The weak defenses at D-Day make no sense given Hitler's paranoid personality but Soviet Union's victory makes sense given Stalin's desire for a cult of praise.

History makes no sense without an indepth, fictional analyses of the early childhood of leaders.

There's a reason the "H" in the "History Channel" started being mocked as "Hitler Channel," even if it eventually got called "Hurr Channel" because it became a flood of prophecy and UFO bullshit instead (with Hitler flavor anyway) because Qanon prototypes were into that shit.

The same people saying this would then say every person that ever died in a communist state was an intentional kill by Stalin or Mao

Doing "did they die of Covid or with Covid?" but for the Holocaust

Just Asking Questions, also known as JAQing off

Because asking a question in good faith is one of the most honest things a person can do. It's right up there with admitting you don't know something. When used correctly these are humble things, earnest things, tools that can help you grow.

So it is naturally grating and it inspires revulsion to see a person misuse those rhetorical tools.

Real cool and good that the truth has been fully democratized.

That's a big part of why I hate the idea of "autodidacts," specifically celebrity/influencer assholes with no academic peer-reviewed credentials whatsoever deciding one day that they're an authority on something.

and say he’s only a fascist

Many Fascists these days don't call themsevles that because it's seen as bad word, they say something like "uhm akshully the left are the real fascists what I am is a nationalist liberal that believes in freeze peach (just not for LGBT+ and the left) "

criticism ?The thesis has been challenged and rejected by many historians, who see it as too simple an explanation for the complex series of events that occurred during the interwar period of 1918 to 1939.[2] In particular, some argue that, in describing the rise of the Nazis as an inevitable result of the Treaty of Versailles, the "Second Thirty Years' War" thesis excuses Nazi rhetoric as being a defensive reaction to supposed British and French vindictiveness.[2] Rather, critics see World War II as a consequence of Hitler and the racist ideology of Nazism, and since Hitler's rise to power was contingent on the Great Depression, it cannot have been inevitable, nor can his support have been a direct reaction to Versailles.[2] The Second Thirty Years' War thesis is part of the larger debates over the causes of World War II and over the idea of a European Civil War.

absolutely no mention of anything happening outside of europe, fucking look at the founding of the league of nations and tell me the 'two' world wars arent connected

A Libertarian in his youth, his politics were shaped by the 1993 Waco siege.[18] He worked for the United States Department of Defense as a logistics specialist,[19] including in Israel.[20]
