when i watched it for the first time i was like 14 or something and i googled it afterwards and clicked through to a forum of people talking about it and they all decried it as Soviet propaganda and then i noticed lots of them had totenkopfs and sturmhelms and iron crosses and poo poo as their display pics

normies discovered it like a few years ago and made epic youtube reaction videos watching and like twice a year someone finds out and is horrified that the film has been reduced to shock content by these people. or something

Yeah it's very good and one of the few films with an accurate portrayal of the eastern front and the genocidal war of extermination against the USSR. So much of American understanding of that theater is based on Nazi generals' apologia memoirs and "human wave" bullshit even when the Nazis are nominally treated as the bad guys. But in this movie you see a hosed up guy with a monkey.

working on the (extremely hopeful) assumption that this person's political journey starts at like, the age of 12, genetic conservative kinda makes sense as a shorthand for "raised by conservatives".

Really hoping most of that "journey" was over by like 16 or so.

if someone clarifies "publicly display", in quotes, in that sort of context, you'd assume that phrase is a direct quote from the Third Geneva Convention, The One About Prisoners of War.

it isn't.

this is as close as it gets:

quote:

Likewise, prisoners of war must at all times be protected, particularly against acts of violence or intimidation and against insults and public curiosity

if someone puts a phrase in quotes, it implies that the specific phrasing is present somewhere in the document(s) they're referencing.

it's pretty easy to at least argue "publicly displaying POWs is against the Geneva Conventions" but it ain't explicitly written.

lmao did anyone ever make this specific argument regarding Jane Fonda?
