Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Gonna bet hes never read black hawk down, which despite being generally pro American does talk about how they did poo poo like level a building full of all the most important local tribal politicians in the hopes they'd get the one Bad Guy they were trying to kill. (He wasn't there.)

Also come and see has been uploaded to youtube in its entirety if you're interested in checking it out.

Its a ww2 movie made in the Soviet union back in the 80s and it's an absolutely brutal, very powerful movie. They used live ammo and real flamethrowers and stuff too.

That scene doesn't really have a catharsis to it. Catharsis would've been the village survivor being able to set the Nazis on fire instead of the partisans just mowing them down. It's better than they deserved and can't even qualify as revenge. Everybody just carries the trauma with them forever.

If you felt catharsis at any point during Come and See then you were misinterpreting it.

Seeing that there was a statue to that movie (or maybe the soldiers, idgaf) near the 9/11 memorial was probably the most disappointed (woo lad) I have ever been with America.

What, you don't think they should honor the time where the US military sent twelve brave soldiers with no horseriding experience into a war zone to recruit some piece of poo poo war criminal into our alliance, and then those twelve brave soldiers mounted up on horses and by themselves defeated tens of thousands of Taliban fighters with tanks? I don't know about you but nothing about that story sounds like total bullshit, we should honor them with statues.

from last year:

https://twitter.com/MarkPotok/status/1036278169605685249

quote:

In 2004, Davis appeared at another hearing to testify on behalf of another hardline racial extremist—Chester Doles, the longtime Georgia unit leader for the National Alliance, which was for many years America’s most important neo-Nazi group. The group’s founding document calls for doing “whatever is necessary” to achieve “a White living space” through “the racial cleansing of the land.” “Ultimately,” Alliance founder William Pierce wrote elsewhere, “we will win the war only by killing our enemies.”

Doles was a former Klan leader who in 1993 had been sentenced to seven years in prison for attacking an interracial couple in Elkton, Maryland. Four years later, he pleaded guilty to burglary and was given probation. He has a swastika tattooed on one hand. The 2004 case in which Davis testified for Doles was the result of an FBI raid on Doles’ Georgia home that produced six charges of illegal weapons possession. A convicted felon, Doles was prohibited from owning firearms.

“Chester and I are true friends,” Davis told the judge. He said he’d interviewed Doles for his 1997 book, Klan-destine Relationships: A Black Man’s Odyssey in the Ku Klux Klan, and believed he posed no threat to society. Still, Doles pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to almost six years in prison.
fast forward:
