The Stupid Thread 2 (Part 1)

Or maybe it’s simply a case of teaching history.

But your answer doesn’t address why we teach kids about what happened to the Indians. Unless your answer for that is: but, but, casinos.

Pre-1860s. That bad United States was defeated.

I’m not sure if you’re trying too hard or not trying at all.

So what is your answer? Why did the Germans go through the trouble of building gas chambers and meat grinders and entire permanent structure concentration camps?

You busted my chops for not having an answer but haven’t really provided a coherent one other than if you think they were trying to create psychopaths.

There is a modern ideological reason that the atrocities of communism aren’t as acknowledged as those of Fascism. It might some of today’s lefties uncomfortable.

We can’t not tax everyone to death. We just can’t have that!!

Maybe you should look a few posts up, and actually read what I posted.

Also, Himmler, the man who many believe was the driving force behind the Holocaust, became ill and vomited the first (and only) time he attended a mass execution by shooting. He demanded that the personnel charged with carrying out the killing find a better way. This was a man described as a half starved shrew and someone who looked like a school teacher by his fellow Nazis.

Not exactly true. Modern leftists, or rather communists, would simply say that under Stalin it wasn’t true communism.

But the atrocities were certainly acknowledged, decades ago, by communist intellectuals in France who became disillusioned with the idea of the USSR as some socialist utopia.

Great, just great. I know almost certainly how this decision is going to go when decided…I wish the small government types had teeth and grit

To be fair, they don’t exist at a national level so that becomes a very uphill battle

I would say they really don’t exist at all and with a nation of our size what does small really mean? Just look at our military budget; there is no such thing as small government when you have a military of that size and cost.

What you really have are people who want to cut specific programs and use smaller government as an excuse.

They exist; not in any meaningful numbers, Amash, Paul, Masse come to mind - they’re also a bit too principled, from what I’ve seen, to do much politicking

Smaller than today…I doubt you’d be able to find many people who want “small” government agreeing on exactly what that entails…it makes for interesting conversations with no meaningful action.i bounce around from AnarchoCapitalist to “Classical Liberal” depending on the news of the day so…

That’s an interesting detail. Thanks.

With your previous response, I wasn’t sure if you were saying it was because machine gunning was too traumatic or too likely to make psychopaths.

And that’s the problem that much of this comes back too. Communism, Fascism, Capitalism, Liberalism, etc. all seem really different on paper. The subtleties that make societies different don’t really fit into neat political theories.

German commanders complained, we have the actual letters, about how mass shootings were affecting troops. There are letters from German soldiers who complained about how they were traumatized by what they had done. Some were becoming neurotic and were even sent to hospitals to recover. Others were becoming psychos. One day these soldiers would be going back to civilian life so they didn’t want to unleash a bunch of mentally ill people upon the public.

German soldiers were not forced to participate but those who refused faced bullying from their peers for being pussies and it made it more difficult to get promoted.

Because they all have utopian characteristics.

Nearly all – 95 percent – of Hand’s 500-plus students come from low-income households, according to PDE.

That principal needs fired. If thats how she responds to something that is like 100% positive in every possible way- they need to send her back to being a hooker for half smoked cigarettes behind the Wa-Wa.
