Hot Takes Discussion II: NATO is the Greatest Thing Ever

[Umeria]

"We can't have good things becuase then people won't be desperate enough to overthrow the government! Don't fall for the trap, this is how we got Hitler"

Well no it's more to do with the fact that America itself is just the logical conclusion of nazism and any attempt to pick and choose with its politics its like asking for Speer or Goebbels or Strasser instead of Hitler.

I'd say there's a pretty big difference between those two things, if only due to the fact that Nazi Germany had no free speech. Advocating for change would get you killed, so violence was the only option. This is not true in America.

FYI he's the reason that "Stalin and Mao as titans of democracy" is a poll option.

I know that, I've read every post in this thread.

I would like Farn to explain what exactly the flame was in the last thread. Does he actually believe i think secession from the US should be punishable by death

"i am a totally rational person and not an insane jingoist."
Yeah, this line really states that it is sarcasm. Who tf uses "totally" when saying they are rational?

I request the next poll to have my special then: "Enver Pasha did nothing wrong!"

Luckily we don't have anyone saying "Hitler did nothing wrong!" or mods would shut this thread down the millisecond they see it.

[Bear Stearns]

while the average american probably isn't the most politically informed and is generally speaking a well-intentioned normie, saying that bad things happen because the american public is stupid/uneducated/backwards is pretty weak sauce.

bad things happen because evil people are at the levers of power, not because normies like watching television and beer.

It always amazes me how little meme-awareness these people have. Apropos meme, did you know that "meme" means "boobies" in turkish?

Fred Hampton, in your view, would be "functionally adjacent" to a Nazi becuase he didn't attempt a coup.

actual nazis generally consider the united states as antithetical to what they stand for.

Hot Take: sending everybody we didn't like over to the water for a century really came to bite us in the ass back here in old europe.

yeah we got the good ones.

[HISPIDA]

ok actual hot take: italy unironically WAS the biggest (axis) winner in WW2

think about it

- got to keep (most of) their territorial integrity
- got to keep parts of their colonial empire
- became a partner of the west
- still a great(ish) power

germany was divided and japan became japan but italy kinda rocked it after the war
