  4. @Rob Rob  dude, it's WWII Europe. Anti-Semitism is a matter of degrees. While I haven't heard of any major pogroms there, it's not plausible this junk didn't exist in A FORMER OTTOMAN PROVINCE. Let me do the fact checking... The Ottomans arbitrarily deported several Jewish neighborhoods in the 19th century. Upon independence, Jews faced discriminatory taxes and restrictions on where they could live. See? Not the worst in Europe, but it was there.

  10.  @lightdampsweetenough2065  TIK is equating a lot of these idiots with various modern Socialists. While there certainly is some overlap (neo-nutzis gotta shift blame sonehow), I personally think he was too quick to equate the views.

  11. TIK, no competitor with Amazon pays minimum wage. They don't pay very well, but I think Mr Bezos is just expressing a genuine opinion rather than a 4d chess move (Mr Bezos has done a list of anti-competitive stuff in the past, though).

  12. A curious assertion, given all modernization of those countries came at colonial hands and said systems quickly fell apart upon independence.

  14. They came to the same result from opposite directions. The Reds initially installed party members in management in each business, but quickly realized they needed someone who knew what they were doing. This is how the commissar system came where an apolitical boss had to run every decision by the desk of a party member that could override it. Thus, while the names of all ventures came under Soviet central management, daily functions were unchanged as most of the managers were the same guys who ran things in Tsarist days. The state still had the anility to dictate production regardless of profitability and unemployment was outlawed so there were frequently men showing up to work with nothing to do. The Nazis first installed state auditors in every business who would in time assume the function of commissar. They coerced the sale of shares to the state or party members. They required many execs to become party members. And they installed voluminous regs dictating how things were to run regardless of profitability. Operating for net profit was largely banned as the state would fund every expansion and guarantee payroll.

  15. 5:55 The quote is bullshit. Mussolini intended to impose a type of colonialism on Ethiopia akin to modern stereotypes of colonies. Britain and France never did that. Also, the Fascists didn't care about imposing Catholicism on account they killed/imprisoned most of the missionaries in the area because their teaching wasn't in line with Fascism and because a lot of them sheltered guerrillas. Even the Bishop of Ethiopia was assassinated.

  16. By the German's logic anything short of unconditional surrender was just a temporary truce to be ready to fight later. Recall the reason for killing the children too was to break an imagined cycle of violence between the races.

  17.  @dragosstanciu9866  During the Russian Civil War and allied Japanese and American for invaded Siberia (yep, that happened). Even then they abandoned most of Siberia since it was too remote to hold onto, and the odds and ends they kept they were driven out of later in small skirmishes.

  18.  @MrAbhix7  Not a lot. The Soviets only managed to move small numbers of soldiers before Japan surrendered, but the fact they were coming contributed to Japan's surrender as much as the atom bomb did.

  20. Come on. Just because you live within walking distance of the airport doesn't mean the city has changed forever. Most of those goons will either get deported or go home when their visas expire

  21. That myth is much better debunked and understood. Just another case of too many chiefs, not enough indians, except in their case all these men wrote histories of the war in which each present their opinions as fact. Since Churchill was the only elected guy, the ridicule against him was more widely circulated than all the rest put together.

  22. It's common among people that I personally call the Machiavellian mindset. People preoccupied with 4d chess, they'll equate politics with actual war, and... They'll overvalue big and intimidating strategic weapons. Nothing necessarily wrong with this logic, but it can produce some bizarre and costly errors. Like how in the middle east governments burn their cash on tanks, planes, and missiles they can't afford, have little need for, can't build themselves, and don't know how to use.

  37. @Gesundheit888  You mixed up. For obvious reasons many German insurance companies were ordered to not honor policies paid for by holocaust victims while others had their insurance payouts seized along with other property

  42. It's little more than speculation to try and figure out where the PIE people were from since we frankly have no idea what the demographics of the world were like before the bronze age collapse (a mysterious extinction level event contemporary Abraham). For instance, beekeeping may disappear in a region due to mini ice age, only to be reintroduced later.

  48. @Boško Delić  Russia gave Constantinople annexation as a war aim, and you mean to tell me that inferred potential annexations should be treated the same as defined casus belli?
