I think Tito got the formula for it down after WWII

Think membership in the Indiana Klan peaked at like ~30% of the white male population of Indiana. This was like in the 1920s

He’s considered a saint and martyr by the Catholic Church for its efforts in the conversion of Bohemia and his status as its first Christian ruler. He was martyred and usurped by his pagan brother for this. He is remembered for maintaining peace in Bohemia and generally being a chill dude

I am worried, he’s at the age where schizophrenia symptoms usually begin presenting in men; and (if my suspicions are correct) he has a sizable following to feed his delusions. I don’t like the guy, but he deserves the help he needs before he endangers himself or others.

Democrats went from the largest voting demographic in 2020 to the smallest in 2024. If your people don’t vote, you lose

Reminder: AIPAC funded the opposition in 1 of these 2 elections. There’s Jewish PACs like JStreet that are reasonable and actually care about Jewish Americans and the defense industry trying to protect their subsidies

Caleb looked surprising good yesterday. The end hurt, but it made it pretty clear that the problem starts and stops with Flus (and most high school football coaches could do his job better than him at this point)

Yea! Quite a few. Palos forest preserve is the largest and has some pretty hiking. If you do run out there, stop by the Ashbary Coffee House in Willow Springs, it’s super cute

They’ve got the pieces on the board to be good bar some depth at the o-line. Entire coaching staff needs to be given a 1 way ticket to Gary tho

Jesus fucking Christ. The Nazis were bad. That doesn’t mean every action taken by the Allies during and after the war was somehow good. Plenty of fucked shit happened, from the Japanese internment camps, to the Bengali Famine, to the soviet ethnic cleansings post war

Obviously there were specific cases where property should have been returned. In 1910, there were 3.2 million Germans in Czechoslovakia; were they all homeless and waiting for the German state to annex them and give them all free houses? These people weren’t given trials, they were cleansed

I’m begging you, read into this. The Nazis were horrific and the crimes they committed during ww2 were beyond terrible. That doesn’t excuse mass crimes against civilians after the war had ended. These were human beings who were deported or killed after a war was over bc of their ethnicity
comment in response to
post
Im mask off for pointing out an ethnic cleansing. Read into this, it’s pretty well documented and fucking horrifying. Poland and Czechia didn’t earn some fucking free voucher for ethnic cleansing, they committed a war crime on a massive scale and no won cares bc they were German
comment in response to
post
That’s not what I’m saying. The Nazis were obviously dogshit, but that doesn’t excuse mass crimes against German citizens postwar in a revenge fantasy. One can oppose Nazis and still be a massive piece of shit (see Churchill’s handling of Bengal and anything to do with Stalin for examples)
comment in response to
post
The Nazis were bad. Random German civilians didn’t “deserve” ethnic cleansing bc of the crimes of their government. Again, these were areas that had massive German populations pre war and had mass crimes committed against them bc of their ethnicity
comment in response to
post
Obviously, but again, you don’t earn free vouchers for crimes against humanity
comment in response to
post
Obviously settlers should have been removed. Settlers weren’t the only ones removed by a long shot and German-majority areas prewar mysteriously became German-free. Poland annexed territories that contained millions of Germans (who had been there for centuries) and purged them.

What were the borders of Poland in 1936 and what were they in 1945? They weren’t anywhere illegally, they had been there for centuries
comment in response to
post
No; and the people responsible should have been punished. Random German villages that had existed for centuries shouldn’t have. It was a revenge fantasy to appease the Czechs and Poles that was encouraged by the Soviets
comment in response to
post
This is well establish historical fact wtf, seriously look into these purges they were horrific
comment in response to
post
Look at the borders of Poland in 1936 and look at them in 1945. They were areas that had been a part of German states for centuries
comment in response to

They were civilians you dolt, not every German was some card-carrying Nazi operating a death-camp
comment in response to
post
On what grounds was it not? There was an ethnic group that existed within the territory of a state, then it was killed or deported until it no longer existed. Poland annexed a significant portion of Germany and immediately purged its Germans
comment in response to
post
You don’t fucking earn a free voucher for ethnic cleansings you dolt, the Nazi regimes crimes against Poland and Czechia were horrific, but that doesn’t justify mass purges postwar of civilians
comment in response to
post
The war was over. The overwhelming majority of them were not soldiers. They were deported and killed for being German
comment in response to
post
They were ethnically cleansed inside of other countries. Germans within Czechoslovakia and Poland were ethnically cleansed. Were Jews not ethnically cleansed bc Hitler couldn’t get at the ones in the US?
comment in response to
post
I’m begging you, fucking read on the German expulsions. It was horrific and a revenge ethnic cleaning performed on civilians
comment in response to
post
Yes 3.1 of the 3.2 million Germans in Czechia fought and died on the eastern front. Duh. The documented mass killings and deportation are all western propaganda, comrade
comment in response to
post
The Nazis were bad, every fucking German citizen wasn’t a Nazi nor did they somehow “earn” an ethnic cleansing bc of the crimes of their government
comment in response to
post
You’re right; the estimated death toll was 2 mil across Poland and Czechoslovakia, with 12 mil displaced. They were Germans, not Nazis. The war was over. They were civilians
comment in response to
post
My bad, forgot that they earned a “1 crime against humanity” voucher bc of the war. I forget that every ethnic group is entitled to an ethnic cleansing every 100 years
comment in response to
post
What context? They were civilians. There only crime was being German under a horrific regime. In no fucking context did it justify mass purges of civilians, you’re just whitewashing crimes against humanity bc they were Germans
comment in response to
post
How the fuck are you supposed to describe 5 million people being deported or killed based on ethnic grounds
comment in response to
post
So they allowed the Czechs and Polish to ethnically cleanse Germans within their territory. Stalin approved of the actions taken both by the soviet army and by interim Czech and Polish governments. It was an ethnic cleansing. I’m begging you, read into this
