I am pointing out documenteries that show the german side to the story

2019-12-10 01:38:59 UTC  

funny how few people realize that the DNC was rigged by the Mob BEFORE

2019-12-10 01:39:06 UTC  

Truman

2019-12-10 01:39:10 UTC  

then you claim oh you musn't get your information from on place, do you understand how stupid you sound?

2019-12-10 01:39:21 UTC  

I DO know the allied side of wwii

2019-12-10 01:39:26 UTC  

everyone does

2019-12-10 01:39:30 UTC  

but the allied side is exaggerated

2019-12-10 01:39:40 UTC  

*Yawn*

2019-12-10 01:39:52 UTC  

both sides focus on their own atrocities as i said earlier

2019-12-10 01:39:59 UTC  

not always

2019-12-10 01:40:14 UTC  

did you watch hellstorm ?

2019-12-10 01:40:27 UTC  

also, there is a SIGNIGIFICANT difference between books that were written pre-internet and afterwards

2019-12-10 01:41:13 UTC  

for example, William Shreiber's "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" is far more thourough than most historical texts written since the fall of the the Soviet Union

2019-12-10 01:41:14 UTC  

have you read "the bad war" ?

2019-12-10 01:42:25 UTC  

what about "The Myth of German Villainy"?

2019-12-10 01:42:37 UTC  

Heard of that one. No, haven't read it. If i remember right, i thought about it but the Foreward was looking to support an argument rather than reveiw the historical events

2019-12-10 01:42:40 UTC  

The Myth of German Villainy is a decent book

2019-12-10 01:43:04 UTC  

i think it lacks sources though

2019-12-10 01:43:27 UTC  

most books these days do

2019-12-10 01:43:36 UTC  

short form books realy

2019-12-10 01:43:39 UTC  

design for the masses

2019-12-10 01:43:57 UTC  

i mean, i'm from the days when if you cited wikipedia, your paper was dismissed out of hand

2019-12-10 01:44:25 UTC  

if wikipedia is valid, THEY have sources somewhere. track these down and cite them AND their sources

2019-12-10 01:44:33 UTC  

wikipedia is a joke these days

2019-12-10 01:44:43 UTC  

always was in my view

2019-12-10 01:44:54 UTC  

There are a lot of wikipedia sources that are literally just advertisement sites now

2019-12-10 01:45:07 UTC  

The older citation domains get bought up and replaced

2019-12-10 01:45:09 UTC  

there was a period when it was ok, but hte marxist moved in and re-wrote all the articles

2019-12-10 01:45:44 UTC  

I still have an old article on the peasants revolt saved

2019-12-10 01:45:48 UTC

2019-12-10 01:45:53 UTC  

well, the academic community as a whole suffers from the problem that those papers that are POPULAR receive the most citations

2019-12-10 01:45:57 UTC  

it was rewritten and framed from a marxist perspective

2019-12-10 01:46:09 UTC  

and the more citations a paper has, the more credibility it is give

2019-12-10 01:46:14 UTC  

so it's a feed-back loop

2019-12-10 01:46:19 UTC  

it was essentially an anti-tax protest but the wikipedia article now states it was an early example of marxist revolution lol

2019-12-10 01:46:34 UTC  

yea the sources they accept are left wing media sites

2019-12-10 01:46:47 UTC  

which use wikipedia as their source

2019-12-10 01:47:07 UTC  

that drives me crazy when people go back and spin events to suit a particular narrativ

2019-12-10 01:47:26 UTC  

i guess that is history in a nut shell

2019-12-10 01:47:52 UTC  

the trick to learning history is learn which perspective the person who wrote it had and interpret it with a grain of salt.

2019-12-10 01:48:04 UTC  

well, there is a difference between documenting an event and interpreting an event
