seems like every week there is a new genocide somewhere on the planet

if we're only so lucky

I think it's because of how the media is very eurocentric

because most media companies are in first world nations

i hate to break this to you, but people don't care about countries not in the western hemisphere

al jazeera is probably the biggest international arab news station

but no one gives a damn because ww2 is all they can think of...and they often don't get even that right in terms of facts

that's because the facts are murky

most americans couldn't tell you the main factions in ww2

no one wants to attest to the raping condoned by the Americans or the Brits

for example... germany killed 16 million non russian (including the camps) but killed like 24 million russians

no one wants to condone the war crimes

no one wants to mention all the japs who massacred their way around asia who were all forgiven by the allies

facts are too inconvinient

no one talks about the batan death march or rape of nanking that japan did anymore (besides china)

you act like people are naive and think nothing happened with any army that goes through an area

hell, hitler's probably alive, the skull that the soviet presented hitler's was a woman's

no shit armies cause trouble when they go through

that's because people are naive

naive to think hitler is alive

they think allies in ww2 and they thinbk heroes

and heroes never rape

a vast minority of soldiers commited crimes, so? do you want to damn the whole institution?

no one talks about 40 million dead in russian work camps, they can only spout 8 million dead in concentration camps

i damn the institution that protects them

or the 200 million chinese that mao killed

no one protects them, it's hard to prove

we have courts that need to prove your guilt, not you prove your innocence

yep, armies are just going to rape, nothing we can do about it, it was war

individuals rape, because individuals are in armies

but no... we get the same fucking call of duty ww2 games like 200 times a year and more movies about ww2 then people that fought in ww2

yeah but now those games have black women with cybornetics

that'll make the infantile notion of war more palatable to the youths

I swear theres been more movies/books/games/etc about ww2 then the number of people that were alive in 1942

that's probably an exaggeration

because it's a rather defining event in the history of the modern world

@Witan oh it is... but damn it feels otherwise at times

I think theres been like 200 or 250 ann frank adaptions for example

there was one with full nudity that they showed at our school

super unconfortable moment

hi, a good and uplifting topic again i see
