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.

Yeah it's weird. We have the pink triangle as a queer symbol because were going to the loving camps too but nobody seems to be able to remember that

Let's not forget the books the Nazis really liked burning were sexology journals about queers and transes

And Christian freaks wrote poo poo like The Pink Swastika in the 90s to try to retcon the nazis as evil gays - you see, they were butch leather gays who only killed the sissy gays, and being a reactionary piece of poo poo in America is just like being one of the people we want to kill and were killed by nazis.

Blame Israel for turning the Holocaust into strictly a Jewish association as part of justification for the continuing apartheid of their ethno-state. You can see the consequences of that in tweet from the baroness where the existence of other victims somehow diminishes anti-semitism.

Hopefully this isn't too hot of a take, but Zionism sucks.

It's a trip reading about how Israel treated the Holocaust survivors who emigrated after WWII - they treated them like poo poo, people called them "soapers" as a slur and the Zionist project saw them basically as weak victims who deserved their suffering. Plus their Yiddish/diaspora culture was suppressed in favor of the "pure" manufactured Israeli identity and all the fake archeology poo poo they did, renaming old Arab towns and poo poo.

I think Crichton was also the guy who, when one of his books was reviewed badly by a critic, then wrote his next book with a stand-in for that critic as having a small penis and also was a pedophile

Haha yes and "thankfully" the baby he raped wasn't badly injured because his dick was so small :wtc:

Crichton could be godawful but all his imitators and followers are even worse. Can't read a goddamn thriller nowadays without the capital-H Heroes being Spec Ops Delta Tier One Operators who are sad because they killed some folks, but maybe they can learn to live again with the help of a fiery Italian/Latina woman. Tried to read a goddamn bigfoot novel and the prologue was that Bigfoot tried to save Anastasia Romanov from the communists, and then in the modern day those goddamn evil Russians were at it again and only a black budget CIA squad can save the world. Everything has to be jammed into this stupid framework.

And it's because they believe that you can only be a leftist if you are well off and out of touch, if you are a poor you are obviously a racist chud or a helpless minority

Trying to imagine the level of manchild/womanchild necessary to (a) not own bowls, (b) blame your disability for your not owning bowls, (c) use the fact that you blame your disability as justification for not owning bowls, (d) use that justification to get publicly mad that a person you don't know gave chili to people who do own bowls, and (e) maintain this anger for so long at such intensity that at least one major publication covers it and someone gets driven off of Twitter because they made chili

Like Chincillazilla has or at least had an eyepatch on in her avatar, looking like some kind of cosplay, it'd be trivial to claim that she was stealing disabled valor with that.

It may have even already been said by one of that crew but I'm not going to assume that because it's a lazy internet thing where people say wow I bet this awful person has totally said this awful thing!

The overwhelming media narrative in the US at least is that antisemitism was the sole driver of nazi oppression, with maybe depending on the audience lip service to queer people and Roma and the disabled. Which is not to minimize what was done to these groups, but the truncated view means that an educated professional is astounded to learn this fact

yeah it's funny to see a supposed academic shocked at a basic fact about the nazis, because their conception of "judeo bolshevism" as the enemy is ideologically shortened in american education/media to a base antisemitism that seemingly springs out of the earth. which is fine, it's not like there's a huge segment of reactionaries now who claim jewish communists are destroying western civilization with degenerate gays, trans, immigrants, etc.
