I'd actually encourage them to do more swapping of gender/race etc., ideally with ALL of movie history, so that every known protagonist ever will henceforth be non-white

2019-07-15 16:31:44 UTC  

non-male
non-straight
etc.

2019-07-15 16:32:06 UTC  

Sounds a bit gay tbh

2019-07-15 16:32:19 UTC  

The point is

2019-07-15 16:33:20 UTC  

If they do it unobstructed, it'll redpill just about every non-radical movie-goer

2019-07-15 16:33:28 UTC  

They do know that bond films were based on books.

2019-07-15 16:33:59 UTC  

They're doing it slowly and even this is redpilling the masses very slowly

2019-07-15 16:34:06 UTC  

Imagine what would happen if they did it rapidly

2019-07-15 16:34:29 UTC  

It would cause the left to implode

2019-07-15 16:35:31 UTC  

Why do people call Hitler the bad guy, but Mussolini is being somewhat sidelined? Because Hitler was more "successful", or more radical

2019-07-15 16:35:50 UTC  

It comes down to optics

2019-07-15 16:37:31 UTC  

"Screw your optics, I'm going in!"

2019-07-15 16:38:30 UTC  

Ultimately I see it as Germany being a very competent nation vs Italy which is known for its pizza and gelato

2019-07-15 16:39:46 UTC  

and losing almost as much as France...

2019-07-15 16:39:52 UTC  

Well sure, that too. My takeaway is that optics are directly proportional to scale.

2019-07-15 16:40:32 UTC  

lol France hasn't actually lost often

2019-07-15 16:40:38 UTC  

but w/e 😉

2019-07-15 16:40:53 UTC  

Yeah I would agree with that. Also Mussolini had impracticle goals while Hitler's goals were daring, but not beyond possibility.

2019-07-15 16:41:53 UTC  

That goes way beyond my knowledge

2019-07-15 16:42:30 UTC  

Hitler accomplished all of his goals but his interference in his own plans ensured he couldn't hold onto them.

2019-07-15 16:42:51 UTC  

Ya he shouldn't have blamed and gassed the Jews

2019-07-15 16:42:54 UTC  

Big mistake

2019-07-15 16:43:16 UTC  

He also shouldn't have redirected his assault on Moscow when they were only 50 miles away with almost 0 hard resistance

2019-07-15 16:44:03 UTC  

Hitler was bluffing throughout most of his conquests

2019-07-15 16:44:39 UTC  

The more I'm studying his wars, the more I come to believe that, had just one nation called his bluff, he would've been stopped

2019-07-15 16:44:52 UTC  

In the beginning definitely

2019-07-15 16:45:15 UTC  

Germany's army was not mechanized.

2019-07-15 16:46:12 UTC  

The English and French were and their biggest blunder was not advancing into Germany. They would've easily dominated.

2019-07-15 16:46:37 UTC  

Well, not sure about domination, but

2019-07-15 16:46:53 UTC  

France was weakened, so that's the one I understand the most

2019-07-15 16:47:03 UTC  

But Austria simply gave up, we didn't fight at all

2019-07-15 16:47:38 UTC  

I doubt Hitler could've annexed Austria had we actually faced him

2019-07-15 16:48:24 UTC  

To me it looked like Austria was kind of meh about it.

2019-07-15 16:48:54 UTC  

From all the wars, I know about Austria's annexation the most

2019-07-15 16:49:35 UTC  

Most articles and books I've read mostly focus on the invasion of France

2019-07-15 16:52:48 UTC  

The short version goes like this:
Over many years, Nazis took key roles in our politics, which was tolerated for reasons I will likely never understand. Austria experienced very troubling times due to violent political conflict between the parties and their supporters. A lot of people died due to terrorism.
There was also a lot of miscommunication at the highest levels between the Austrian president and the chancellor and so forth. And there were elections to be held, but they were unfortunately illegal and so the situation was very tense. Hitler moved in just at the very moment when elections were supposed to be held. He was afraid that after the elections he'd lose his chance to annex Austria.

2019-07-15 16:54:24 UTC  

Basically Hitler was carefully spreading chaos in Austria's politics with the help of Nazi infiltration. This chaos is what made it possible for him to just march in with no resistance, which comes down to the Austrian chancellor being a complete bitch who was too afraid for, well, we don't know exactly what he was so afraid about.

2019-07-15 16:54:49 UTC  

Civil unrest strongly added to everything.

2019-07-15 16:55:11 UTC  

Probably an imagined fear which materalized into a completely different one.

2019-07-15 16:55:26 UTC  

Yeah it was a lot of backdoor politics, so we'll never know.

2019-07-15 16:56:04 UTC  

I know people fled Austria because of the civil unrest.
