Atrocious Joe posted:the woman in this clip definitely thinks yanks were the ones to liberate Aushwitz This dumbass dipshit also later mentions the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact later as a example of the Soviets somehow being directly complicit in nazi warcimes, as if the United States' policy of neutrality while continuing to do business with both Axis and Allies (see, eg, the invention of Fanta by the coca cola corporation because they had to create a soft drink for the nazis despite Germany's low sugar supplies due to war rationing) wasn't functionally identical. The United States literally passed all kinds of laws to stay out of the conflict (called collectively the Neutrality Acts) through Congress right up until 1941. The United States (and Canada and Cuba) turned away the MS St. Louis. The America First Committee had a membership of over 800,00 people and advocated non intervention in WWII right up until four days after the pearl harbour bombings. Virtually every nation involved in WWII has Jewish blood on their hands in one way or another and trying to claim different just to win a point vs modern leftist movements is craven and repulsive. My grandparents were liberated from their respective death camps by the red army, and Yair Rosenberg can suck the poo poo straight out of my rear end in a top hat.

Even today you'll find stuff published in China with titles like "Learn to Manage your Money with the Secret Power of the Jews," where it's using stereotypes as a foundation for probably vacuous self-help.

I'll literally never forget a Chinese friend's mother talking to me as a kid, finding out I was Jewish, asking if my family worked in finance (they didn't), then asking if I was good at math or science. When I said I was alright at science she seemed genuinely happy to hear that and just kinda nodded happily and straight up told my friend in front of me I was 'good to have around'. I'm not gonna say it's not antisemitism to speak to a Jewish kid like that, but boy is it a nicer form than when another friend's dad called me 'the little kike'.

The United States literally passed all kinds of laws to stay out of the conflict (called collectively the Neutrality Acts) through Congress right up until 1941. TBF the neutrality acts were based around the proposition that the US shouldn't be the arms dealer to the world, profiting off of bloody conflicts. It started with the Chaco Wars, and tried to prevent American weapons from being sold to Italy and Japan for use against the Ethiopians and Chinese. In 1939 it was amended to allow the British and French to buy weapons to use against the Nazis and by early 1941, Roosevelt was having the US Navy tool around the Atlantic shooting at German U-Boats in hope of provoking a war dec. Compare the underlying goal of the laws to the present, where the US is making so many weapons it has to give them away to all sorts of repressive regimes, from the IDF to the NYPD.

I don’t think it’s reactionary, defensive of the US, or ignorant of the USSR’s previous attempts to strike deals with the other European powers to say that the Neutrality Acts were not functionally identical to the M-R Pact, since one of them explicitly prescribed spheres of influence and territorial allocations and the other did not. It’s not a criticism of the USSR to observe that difference.

That's not what happened in practice though - as the excerpt I provided earlier says, the Neutrality Act (at least as of the 1935 implementation) didn't cover oil, so oil still got sold to fascist regimes, Ford and Studebaker and GM still sold trucks to fascist regimes (since they technically weren't war materiel), and even DuPont still managed to sell bombs - all you had to do was to sell it to Germany first as a technical non-belligerent in the Spanish Civil War, and then the Germans pass-on the bombs to Franco.

The biggest and most salient critique of M-R is how the Soviets materially assisted the Nazis by trading commodities for technology, so if the US was doing the same thing for money then it's directly comparable.

So were the conferences between Uncle Joe and Churchill and Roosevelt just as bad in your mind, since they explicitly prescribed spheres of influence?

From the linked article: quote:It seems likely that EA believes by avoiding the P-word, they are removing themselves from greater levels of critical and customer scrutiny. But consider what the company is inferring when it declares ideological inertness. If Battlefield 2042 was truly apolitical, that means DICE was exclusively inspired by the graphical possibilities of our coming apocalypse, and that the collateral human misery, failed states, and biospheric catastrophe seemed solely like incredible venues for firefights and nothing more. That is grim as hell!

Big enough to only get the funding from dead eyed corporate megaliths who will water it down to a watch dogs story and all the relevant, biting commentary that implies. Terra Nil, a teeny tiny indie game due for a upgrade soon is probably the most interesting game I've seen recently that tackle the subject. Also to fit the theme of the thread I think cis people don't have souls
