      I feel really bad for all the dogs and horses the Nazis dragged to their deaths on the eastern front. That's certainly a sad fate. Outside of that? Nah.

      Well, in a certain sense, young working class men sent to their death by a fascist state is a sad fate, isn’t it?

          Not so sure about that but anyway, in a certain sense, being a nazi is a sad fate as well

              Well by “young working class men sent to their death” I wasn’t thinking about SS officers. I wonder how many of the Stalingrad dead were high ranking.

                There are two battles in history that, once I looked at the other side of them from me, completely revolutionized my entire dumbshit American reckoning of the whole world. One of them was the Tet Offensive, and the other one was the Battle of Stalingrad. I really feel like if we got more dumbshits like me to understand the meaning and significance of those battles it would go a long way.
