It's all about having common enemies, imo, plus similar cultural signifiers. They're both in the "blue tribe" and whatever views someone might have about "political" things like war, it's just a difference of opinion.

What I mean by "political" is that most people have a certain set of values that they'll say, "shouldn't even be political," and you can generally tell almost everything about a person's politics by what they put in that category. The neolibs and radlibs place things like LGBT rights in that category, but slaughtering a bunch of foreigners, well, that's a complicated foreign policy debate where reasonable people can disagree. Plus, I mean, they're radlibs, so they're probably gonna see eye-to-eye with neolibs on Ukraine, for example.

The Germans learned a lot about how to evade being held responsible for committing genocide, and nothing else.

Literally the first line of the article:

Coverage of the wars in Ukraine and Gaza is mostly dominated by talk of weapons.

It goes on to address this perspective and make an argument why troops are important. Did you actually read it before coming to that conclusion?

Fortunately, there is a cure:

The whole breakdown in relations between the US and Iran really started with the US allowing the shah to flee to America (which even fucking warned against), leading the Iranian revolutionaries conclude the US was planning to reinstate him (like they did before!), and they responded by taking hostages at the US embassy.

I've brought this up to people before, and gotten the response, "The shah was ill and came to the US for treatment, it was a humanitarian decision, the Iranians were just being paranoid."

Yet another reason to hate Jimmy Carter.

The further they push, the more regular people will recognize it as insane.

Is this confirmed true?

Is that a yes or a no to whether a bunch of Holocaust scholars are engaging in a conspiracy to fabricate evidence? Just need one word. I would also accept maybe.

Could you do me a favor a clearly state whether you believe the historians working with the US Holocaust Memorial Museum are knowingly lying and fabricating evidence regarding the Holocaust? And if so, would you mind giving me your best guess as to why Holocaust scholars are engaging in this conspiracy?

No, because I do not read Ukrainian, and I have not personally reviewed the primary sources. There are people who do speak Ukrainian and have extensively studied these sources, such as the people who work at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Literal Holocaust denialism, you Nazi fuck.

Here you go:

Historian Karel Berkhoff, among others, has shown that Bandera, his deputies, and the Nazis shared a key obsession, namely the notion that the Jews in Ukraine were behind Communism and Stalinist imperialism and must be destroyed. “The Jews of the Soviet Union,” read a Banderist statement, “are the most loyal supporters of the Bolshevik Regime and the vanguard of Muscovite imperialism in the Ukraine.” When the Germans invaded the USSR in June 1941 and captured the East Galician capital of Lvov, Bandera’s lieutenants issued a declaration of independence in his name. They further promised to work closely with Hitler, then helped to launch a pogrom that killed four thousand Lvov Jews in a few days, using weapons ranging from guns to metal poles. “We will lay your heads at Hitler’s feet,” a Banderist pamphlet proclaimed to Ukrainian Jews.

Here's another one: Stepan Bandera: The Life and Afterlife of a Ukrainian Nationalist: Fascism, Genocide, and Cult, written by a Fellow of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum

The author notes that in a declaration in May the OUN-B called for the extermination of "Moskali [Russians], Jews, aliens, and Poles" as it began to collaborate with the Abwehr in the formation of the two battalions that entered the Ukrainian SSR in June 1941 with the German Army. The key event after the invasion from a Ukrainian perspective was the OUNB's declaration of Ukrainian independence in L'viv on June 30, 1941—which the author contrasts with the Ustasha's analogous declaration in Croatia, which did not glorify Hitler and the Wehrmacht. In the pogrom that followed "Germans and the Ukrainian military establishment controlled by the OUN-B" carried out the killings of Jews, and Bandera's "moral and ethical responsibility [is] evident" (p. 239).

The Senate was never meant to be adversarial - they were supposed to be the adults in the room that refined the legislation that came from the House (look up the phrase “the cooling saucer”). While there has always been a political divide, we’re living in a period of intense partisan hackery & obstructionism.
