I'm sorry I keep talking about glee in here but this is something we can all enjoy because it's good when racists and bullies get their comeuppance. Lea Michele made a black lives matter tweet and all of the black lives she made a living hell on set had words to say about it https://twitter.com/graciex43/status/1267680389608271872 https://twitter.com/graciex43/status/1267681808751063040 That would be a guest star, a new cast member from season 6, a new cast member from season 4 and an OG Glee cast member, plus Yvette Nicole Brown (fresh off of "don't burn police cars, you're wasting our tax dollars"ing on Twitter). And Supergirl (fka Marley) liked a bunch of the shady tweets, and Iris West responded with this: https://twitter.com/candicepatton/status/1267668193063186433 Lea Michele: getting dragged like a toddler's blankie.

I guess I feel officially too old because I have no idea how to navigate what the gently caress people are saying on Twitter. Looks like a mix of gibberish, clapping emojis, and gifs. It's like tumblr but popular.

It sucks she is also a garbage human on top of that, but I love that people are calling her on her poo poo. I'ma sip this with, shall I say, glee. sidenote I completely forgot Willam and Shangela were in the background of a Glee number that one time

muscles like this! posted:I know that a lot of people don't mean it that way but it is kind of troubling how often fiction writers will do stuff where Nazis win WWII or are still around and they have all kinds of advanced super science like somehow being Nazis mean that we'd go to the Moon faster or something like that. Not to defend Nazis, but they really did a lot of the rocket science we have today. It's not like there wasn't a mad scramble to snap up all their scientists (many of which ended up right here in the USA) after the war. The V2 itself was a revolution which led to science that was used in our space program, so it's not a terrible stretch.

Mu Zeta posted:I feel like the people who designed those are scientists who just happened to be alive while the nazis were in power von Braun was quite happy to use slave labour to get V2s get built, even though it was killing them at a higher rate than said V2s were causing casualties. He also became a Party member in 1937 and joined the SS in 1940. He might not necessarily have been slavering to exterminate all the Jews but he was by any sensible definition of the word a Nazi.

The best you can say about the rocket scientists is at least they created some usable results, unlike the “medical” experiments that happened in German camps and Unit 731. You didn’t get a job like that without showing dedication to being a goddamn nazi.

Yeah, more people died making the V-2 than actually died from the V-2. Von Braun knew this, and the US Army explicitly told him to lie to cover it up in his US citizenship application process after the war. Also von Braun "borrowed" a lot of the baseline stuff for his rockets from homegrown American Robert Goddard.

Endymion FRS MK1 posted:I love how nu-Wolfenstein handled it. Nazis stole ancient Jewish super-tech. Delicious irony. There's a lot to like about The New Order but making it so that there actually was a secret Jewish conspiracy where a shadowy cabal of elders possessed weapons of unbelievable power is really muddled since it both makes Hitler's anti-Semitic propaganda be technically correct and also makes it so that the Jews not only failed to stop the third Reich and their own extermination but were actively responsible for creating the technology that let Hitler conquer the world.

DC Murderverse posted:I'm sorry I keep talking about glee in here I would really like to hear what went wrong with Glee, I suspect that it’s a combination of Ryan Murphy being a hack, and the network taking control of the show once they realized that the songs were a cash cow. I don’t think I have ever been so disappointed in a show as I was with what happened to Glee.

Von Braun knew this, and the US Army explicitly told him to lie to cover it up in his US citizenship application process after the war. The low British death count from the V2 is really interesting- the British caught every single German spy that made it over there, and turned a lot of them. They had their double agents feed the Germans false information about where the V2s were landing, so German targeting got worse and worse as the V2 attacks went on.

One of those sources “died” in the line of duty and García got Germany to pay out a pension to his widow

The British and Americans both rejected his offer to work for them so he said “gently caress it, I’ll do it myself”. He also got the Iron Cross from Nazi Germany and then ended up knighted by the British during the war. Operation Overlord wouldn’t have gone nearly as well without him getting the Germans distracted.

Ugly In The Morning posted:Operation Overlord wouldn’t have gone nearly as well without him getting the Germans distracted. The subterfuge involved in Operation Overlord was insane. The allies would invent army groups and leak plans that said that they would invade other countries, they came up with fake contests to make tourists send in pictures of the beaches in Normandie. They even sent an actor pretending to be general Montgomery to North Africa. Operation Bodyguard seems like one enormous prank when you read about it.

After "The Spy" I think I'd watch an anthology espionage show where Sacha Baron Cohen plays most or all of the main characters.

Alhazred posted:I would argue that fascist uniforms has a really limited use, even if they're well designed. They aren't. Like the uniforms were so complicated and hard to make every group had to have a personal tailor. The German military uniforms were impractical as gently caress and essentially what a 10 year old would think up when playing pretend military dictator dress up. There's an effort post somewhere on the forums about it, but for comparison a typical 3 piece suit would take ~24 pieces of fabric to make and a german military uniform took ~200. It was over-designed to an insane and wasteful degree, like so much else going on in Nazi Germany.

I think a part of the problem is that only until recently was a lot of this stuff declassified, so we've had decades of the big dumb heroics that were public knowledge but people like The Ghost Army who used creativity and art to prevent countless deaths without firing a single shot remained shrouded in secrecy.

pentyne posted:They aren't. So many of the weapons that the History Channel would describe as amazing were hot garbage. The MG42, firing over 1200 rounds a minute? Needed a barrel change every 150 rounds, so it really only got out a little over 150 rounds a minute. The Tiger and Panther tanks? Way too overengineered and finicky, with transmissions that wouldn’t even last 100 miles. Even when their aircraft weren’t being hangar queens that make the F35 look reliable, they lost so many of their experienced pilots early and they were basically being flown by amateurs.

I think we need to prescribe Nazis into different groups that include, but are not limited to, "hated the Jews" and "didn't like what the Nazis stood for, but were required by German law to join".
