Britain EVEN WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE UNITED STATES would have been able to execute Operation Unthinkable and win due to Bomber Command and the British Navy alone. They also thought that they would save quote “10’s of millions of democratically aligned people, and German soldiers from dying in Russian Siberian Death Camps like Vorkuta, because seeing how awful it was inside a Gulag from CALL OF DUTY BLACK OPS 1 made them hate Russia.

This is a person who is an ex-friend of mine attending Princeton while studying foreign policy.

We live in a cruel simulation.

The constitution of the United States will be saved by a Mormon in the last days.

Had a guy (I guess a nazbol?) try and explain me that Ernesto Guevara was a national socialist. Like, openly so, just a nazi. I just started mocking him at that point.

I once had a coworker fucking uno reverso card me when he started talking some weird white Islamo-nationalist shit and then went onto some really racist tirade against black folk.

He kept talking about the need to defend ones' own people, so I brought up the Black Panthers and what they stood for, what they did in service to not only black people but for the people entirely. I told him they protected their own and that our state killed them for it.

He brought up Hitler. He said "just like Hitler, he was protecting his own"!

I don't even remember what I said after that, I was flabbergasted and almost certain we were both wasted.

i do not know if this counts, but i have seen wild hottakes related to communism mentioned by you all, so might as well.

one time, an in-law talked with my dad, as i have mentioned to them that i have studied a bit of marxism and feminism in literature theory class.

the reactions were funny. they said "oh my god are you brainwashed? marxism is satanic! i forgot why and i can't show a video about it, but it's satanic and evil" (they like jordan peterson which explains it all.) while my dad said "karl marx is german so he made nazism".

my dad's claim is especially funny as he lived during the communist era of my country.

i hear a ton of stupid stuff from my relatives, but this is my favorite

i remember in school, i was taught that gays should be put into concentration camps and Jewish people should he forcibly converted to Christianity. and there's still people that parrot that, every time i have the misfortune to use social media. :)
