Thing to remember about Hitler is, he was stone crazy; denial wasn't an occasional indulgence, it was a way of life for him... We've got one of our own now. Hopefully not as bloodthirsty, though. Hopefully
Mods, do we have any official policy regarding posters who quote from other threads? The above post seems an attempt to deflect from discussion of the imagery in the Merkel thread.
This is in fact a racist statement. There are plenty of white people who can teach you something about racism. Also, I'm not white. This statement is equally absurd. Can you be more specific? If you ever want to get over this shit you're going to have to start treating people as equals.
Depends on the context, but in general, not really. For example, it's pretty much assured, that after 350ish years of attempted erasure and assimilation, followed by 100ish of appropriation and "getoveritism", pretty much no one can honestly say that the R3dskins are an honorific, least of all, a bunch of krauts that like to play dress up Inyin on the weekends and camp out. Not to mention that since the Dutchies played such an integral role in the importation of african slaves to the new world, while your "Black Pete" tradition may not be racist in the Dutch context, rolling it out over here and saying "it's nto racist", gets you the sideeyes
Dude, stop....seriously stop. No you f**** can't teach me about racism. You sound just stupid now, not to mention a bit racist as well.
I was involved in none of that. I also didn't roll out Zwarte piet. And I'm in fact offspring of a former Dutch colony. Great arguments. The hypocrisy is strong.
The Dutch have a 2-fer since it was Dutch settlers who moved to South Africa and eventually invented Apartheid. JC-14 can teach about racism. His/her people practically invented it.
Creating a archetype of what you think I am or stand for and then attack that with bigotry. Typical of your ilk. @charlie15 @song219 @Coyote-Trickster @Auriaprottu
True. They had no winter coats, nor proper footwear. Also lacked other supplies, like frost resistant fuels or oils for their tanks, etc. No long range bombers to take out Russian heavy industry beyond Urals, and many more. In addition, Soviets got plenty of supplies from the US.
There is certain significant differences, and main being, that for example Polish "race nationalists" (as you probably correctly named some of them) do not care for other nations and do not want to take them over or attack them. They just want them to keep away from Poland, and do not want Poland taking over the world at all. Real Nazis in Germany planned to take over the world and destroy or enslave other nations all around. Obviously, scale of Nazi crimes should never be forgotten, nor diminished. Saying "Trump is worse then Hitler" is ignorant and dangerous, as younger generations may imagine Hitler as a plain language Red Neck, and not murderous dictator who caused tens of millions dead around the world (which Trump is not). I do not know about the US, but they rather seem like isolationists for me, and not keen taking over the world as well, but I may be wrong...
Yes, he was crazy, and infectiously so. I like Suworow's books, and he quite well describes Hitler's mental state in some of them.
For years I avoided it because it seemed like one of those brainless action-sci fi flicks that young guys love because it's got tons of guns dude!! But it's actually pretty damn awesome. Brings up philosophical and existential stuff.
