Doesn't Oklahoma have a big (individualist rear end in a top hat) Anarchist community? Was the 'only two parties on the ballot' thing in order to keep the Anarchists out or is just a contradiction?

Had someone post this to my wall: To which another responded thus: quote:"Who ever did this is total rear end in a top hat. Using vet for their own political hit piece. If this was the vets own word it is one thing to use one for political bull poo poo is low and they need to be drawn and quartered. How would you feel if some right winger used a pic of you for their benefit?" I pointed out that the Right Wing constantly makes propaganda using troops, and I am DoD and they constantly put words in my mouth as an Armed Services member.

redmercer posted:All the moral high ground does for you is raise your balls to the eye-level of people who are actually effective. That seems pretty ridiculous to me. As far as I can tell, it's perfectly possible to feel sympathy for a person and still be capable of recognizing that the things they've done are wicked. I'd like to imagine that, for all their wrongdoing, even the Nazis were men and women, as much victims of circumstance as the Jews they targeted. Victory over them was not a victory over a uniformly malicious monstrosity from Hell; it was only a victory over a group of people who, by the influences of ignorance and poverty, had come to believe in the goodness of an ideology with revolting consequences. Practically, I think this suggests it's wrong to venerate victory in war or in politics - all it does is instill the idea that the conquered weren't misguided people, but incomprehensible animals, whose, in the case of Nazis, adoption of Nazism could have been due to nothing resembling human motivation. In this, there is no warning against the pitfalls of Fascism or against human weakness in times of desperation (consider the popular support for the Nazis); all that remains is what they believed, and, free of context, it's free of responsibility. Consider the difference between this, cosplay:  And this, the Berlin Holocaust memorial:  Now, D&D loves to overreact so let me be clear in saying that it is indisputably the case that the Holocaust was an unbelievable horror which necessitated the deaths of many Nazis to end, that my opinion on the value of the lives of Nazis who died does not change that fact, and that I have no intention of devaluing the suffering that the Jews and others murdered during the Holocaust endured.

I disagree, I think it is possible to see people as evil without dehumanising them. Swiss political cartoons: http://www.geschichteinchronologie.ch/eu/ch/Palomino1997_handelsbeziehungen-der-Schweiz-1933-1945.htm   hitler: here in this box sits a pretty evil man, as long as i stay here he won't do anything, but if i go away he will eat all of you hitler: so it was not meant to be (when he gets off the box) bottom: fear mongering and its unexpected consequences (I have no idea who the guy in the box is)  "Quiet funeral" Refers to Hitler's nationalisation of foreign investments ("3 milliard (billion) Swiss Francs") sometimes seen as the beginning of his "raubwirtschaft" which continued with the enslavement and looting of the countries Germany conquered Enjoy fucked around with this message at 08:33 on Sep 29, 2012 |

As a result of Operation Barbarossa, 4.3 million Germans were killed along with 10.6 million Russians, including 80% of boys born in the year 1923. Twice as many people were killed at the Battle of Stalingrad or the Siege of Leningrad than the entire number of allies killed during the war.

Isn't it a dirty secret that amphetamines had been invented so Stalingrad and Leningrad were literally millions of people amped up on speed bayoneting and butchering each other?

^^ doubt it... The Russians had barely started to roll forwards towards the West by the time Il Duce was deposed. McDowell posted:Isn't it a dirty secret that amphetamines had been invented so Stalingrad and Leningrad were literally millions of people amped up on speed bayoneting and butchering each other? I think it was the Brits and Americans using amphetamines. By the time of Stalingrad, Stalin had already given the order of "Not a step back!" and Hitler had a policy of Germans never surrendering... ergo tons of Russians died in the city and during the breakout and tons of Germans were surrounded and routed.  \/\/ I put interpretative dance right up there with squirting paint out of your rear end onto a blank canvas as the worst form of art.

Remember that meth was only synthesized relatively recently and it was still plenty legal and popular. Everbody during the war, Axis or Allied, did speed.  "Tanker's Chocolate", a nice candy bar with meth in it.
