I don’t see the point of arguing with people. You made the right move, friend. They didn’t use logic to arrive at their position so your use of logic will not dissuade them.

Churchill basically a Nixon that didn't get caught, but unlike Nixon he was handed a lot of poo poo on a silver spoon

Here's a picture of Churchill lookin like a 10/10 oval office at age eight or whatever



When he was younger he did some good things about workers and prisons but then he got older and his brain went off and he did a bunch of loony old man horseshit.

I’m not too keen on that name Winston, tbqh. Now Nixon otoh had a quality top tier name so I don’t think you can even compare the two.

Nixon had a good name, I'll give him that

U can do dick jokes or nerd jokes or if you're old pretend he's you're buddy, plus the last name sounds like a brand of poison.

This reminds me of something I was listening too recently about how John "The Maverick" McCain was not a maverick and instead was a giant oval office, including being handed everything on a silver spoon, or at least relative to anyone else who served alongside him.

I have no input on Winston Churchill is a drat Yankee, similar to how I have no input on criticism of African american leaders as a honkey.

He must’ve had to work hard to be a big fat guy. It was an active goal of his apparently from the looks of it, since he wasn’t a fat kid.

Does he discuss this in his memoirs? Perhaps a section on it in his history of WW2.

When he was younger he was gleefully shooting people in Africa and claiming it was his god given right to do so as a white person.

When told the Bengal Famine was getting worse he said 'they shouldn't gently caress so much then, they breed like rabbits the savages.'

Winston Churchill made sure that a bunch of Indian people died from starvation and then blamed it on them saying "Relief will do nothing, for Indians breed like rabbits"

The fascists really didn't like Churchill and even went so far as trying to turn him into an anime
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd8Iq9M0ios

Bold of them to depict him being defeated by airplanes after the Battle of Britain but ok :thunk:


Anyway, it turned out to be a strategic blunder as the Italian high command only managed to out themselves as anime fans, leading to vastly lowered morale among the population and at least two known uprisings. Hitler, initially approving of the propaganda tactic, noted the disastrous results and cancelled several public appearances in which he had planned to list his "top ten Weifus of the Reich".

Without the undoubtedly white supremacist prick Hitler takes Europe.

Weirder to me though, is he supported traitorous King Edward failed attempt to marry Wallis Simpson. Had they been successful then Winston's triumph over Hitler is in doubt.

Wallis Simpson saved Europe from Nazi rule and changed the course of history for the entire Western World.

Yeah, it's true. I appreciate his achievements but I don't like hero-izing anyone and removing their faults, to be honest. Maybe sometimes people need symbols more than reality though. :shrug:

Even with the Bengal Famine you could say "look that was an off the cuff frustrated remark and he did consider shipping more grain but given that it was the middle of WW2 and shipping was constantly attacked he wasn't sure if it would even get there if he did divert resources to it."

(he did still love killing Africans though lol)
