I agree, but only if you say by 1938. Although i think it was clear what would happen than, so still in doubt. With hindsight, it's unjustified to make a clear judge, they're were the three most evil powerful men in the world together with the Red Khmer.

I believe however that Hitler was so blinded by his own ideals, that he never truly believed that he was doing something evil. The guy was so disturbed and distortioned in his views that he never ever realized what he was doing. Stalin had pleasure in killing people and was way smarter or should i say careful and therefore more dangerous. Although Hitler was so deranged that he had no control over what he was doing, and that he would nuke the entire Earth if he could. For him, it was all about him, his ideals and the German people. Ultranationalism at it's worst.

That’s not a bad post, that’s literally what happened.

I like Nova Green, but these Antifa types who want to relive their grandparents war exploits are pathetic. Not necessarily him, but that type in general. Fighting “Nazis” on Atlas is like this generations Battle of the Bulge. Yeah ok.

Meh, I just want to skip to the Nuremberg Trials part (for which I've already promised you "luxurious" accommodations).

Just be sure to get the smell of Newports from the previous occupant out of the cell before you lock me up.

The only thing that really bothers me about him is the fact that his acting like he is just so much better than anybody else who does not agree with him when this was a forum meant for civil discussion

Civil discussion doesn’t really exist on this forum, and I don’t believe it has since I joined.

This forum used to be very civil. 2014 was a great year for all of us. Trumps rise coincides with a cognitive decline among Atlas Democrats.

It gave you guys a reason to let your fascism/racism/sexism out, just be honest! As we valiantly did in WWII we need to do it again now to stamp out the rot.

I see MasterBaiter has now taken up the NOVA practice of pretending he’s a world war soldier. Maybe we should buy him a toy rifle. It’d be nice to get him out of his moms basement for a change.

Nobody cares about the Armenian genocide. It’s harsh, but true. The whole vote was a waste of time. Are they going to legislate the victims back to life?

I see that nobody has been able to properly rebut my point, which is that nobody actually knows or cares about it. It’s a minor, brutal historical in the context of modern American life, the kind of event that did not effect the United States one iota. Cry “whataboutism” all you want, Ilhan’s vote made sense for once. If I were in the House I wouldn’t have bothered to vote period and would have probably just gone out to have a smoke and take a piss.

Actually, Nathan rebutted your post pretty easily.

Armenians care, sure. The guy who is helping my dad and I with the mini crane today has never heard of it, I can guarantee you that.

So?

I could say the same to you, and so did Congresswoman Omar. The fact is that this is a giant bipartisan exercise in virtue signaling that does little more then antagonize Turkey. A general resolution condemning all genocide, from Armenia to the Parsley massacres would make more sense.

The timing of this resolution sure is suspicious to me.

Is the guy who helps Sanchez's dad with the mini crane 2020's Joe the Plumber?

No, he’s much too fat. Hence why we’re operating it while he lounges nearby. He’s my second least favorite tenant tbh - creates a lot of problems with the other tenants - but he has (mostly) nice equipment that he allows us to borrow since he stores it here. We’re putting a fifth wheel on the back of my dads restored Peterbuilt and it’s a gazillion pounds.

This type of work is hard as hell and I’m sarcastically referred to as “muscles” around here, but hey, it takes in like 300k a year so I’m not bitching.

I mean, I did laugh when I heard it.

I’m sure he and McCain have much to catch up on.

This reminds me of the irony of being told in 2016 that I was pro-war if I didn't support Trump because "HiLlArY iS gOiNg 2 sTaRt WwIiI wItH rUsSiA!1!1!"

Hillary is more hawkish than Trump is easily.

The simple truths thread is buried a few pages back on this board. I believe that post belongs there.

Am I wrong? Is what Warren did not a gutter trash move?

Total bitch move on her part.

Rush looked cooler smoking than Ben Shapiro ever has or ever will.

Ben Shapiro is a huge fan of Star Wars and can talk about a Star Wars topic for hours and has read the old EU as well .

Lmao

What....what exactly was wrong with that post?

While I believe the accusers and hope Weinstein gets the maximum, I still find it concerning that nowadays you can get a conviction on such a serious charge without any physical/DNA evidence. The case was simply one person's word against the other's and I don't see how that proves the case beyond a reasonable doubt.

And it is appalling to see that SOME democrats are actually wishing for the economy to crash just to stymie Trump's reelection. Disgusting.

I don’t care what it takes, Trump has got to go. I want another 2008 recession. My job is recession-proof, it’s not going to affect me. I also want another subprime mortgage crisis to bring down home prices because I want to buy a place as soon as the lease is up. I’m a proud functionalist.

Scott just won this thread by posting that one. That post is a real doozy!

i guess it's getting more clear to everybody now that coronavirus was just fake news, and the gov used it as an excuse to perform this little police state experiment and see how much power they could take.

idk how many of you guys were also forced to read "A Separate Peace" in high school. In that book, the Finny guy is convinced that the Great Depression and WWII were just cooked up to prevent people from enjoying good times. It's the same thing with the COVID garbage.

So many people I've talked to have mentioned how they never felt like they were finally closer to getting their lives together than they were before all this started. I'll admit I felt similarly. Things were getting too good for too many people, and the deep state had to go and ruin us in an effort to turn us all communist and authoritarian.

Can't have things getting too good for people or else people will start to realize things, I guess. Gotta keep the sheeple brainwashed.

I think this belongs here.

nah bro that’s just his persona man

It’s time to rename the thread, ‘me thinks.

Hopefully these riots make more voters in MN realise the importance of having politicians who recognise the importance of maintaining law and order, Trump should be able to capitalise on these riots and the more riots happen the better it will be for him electorally, he likely does understand how to use these riots to help him politically I would say, it would be a good way for him to turn away the focus from the virus.

It's terrible to politicize this as a Republican vs. Democrat issue, but this post isn't objectively wrong. Independents and swing voters are watching these riots. It wasn't Trump supporters who stormed into that Target and looted it, that's for sure.

And please don't respond to this post with some "teh Nazis stormed the capital building." People are allowed to carry guns. You can bring a gun into the state capital of Florida and all you need is a concealed carry license. I've seen plenty of civilians with guns there. I went there almost daily for like nine freaking months.

White guys carrying guns isn't some form of a beer hall putsch.
