  1. People have been spreading bull since forever

  2. A lot of Americans get angry when any given portion of history didn't involve major crimes. For instance, the Trail of Tears happened and most of the casualties were due to mismanagement and logistics difficulties, but no American Indian tribe ever committed or was victim to genocide.

  3. There was a decent chance they wouldn't. It's no secret Berlin pushed their luck until it broke.

  4. Come on. We all know the west would blame itself for world problems no matter how absurd.

  5. Marx was very anti-semitic and spread the old stereotype that Jews were all greedy bankers and merchants.

  6.  @zigoter2185  it's size was mainly due to how oil drilling costs millions and may yield nothing, so a company that can absorb such losses easily is preferred. YouTube channels are the total opposite, as anyone can do it using at most a couple grand worth of equipment and cover some highly niche topic that has an audience.

  7. Assuming that's true, he wouldn't want to waste a perfectly good army when they were useful to him and his friends.

  8. The common definition of socialism is that the state controls most or all businesses. That is what all self-stylized Socialists have in common.

  9. This was the culture wars period during the unification of Germany

  10. It's just an echo chamber. No one actually gets on those sites to be persuaded

  11.  @floydlooney6837  that doesn't matter, just make a dummy email account to base new accounts on and no one will notice unless you make an admin angry enough to IP ban you.

  12. It's hard to really tell as no one person spoke for the Arabs. The Syrian government were insubordinate collaborators and the dissidents were tribal forces and all the above fought each other as often as anyone else. One thing for certain was any independent Syrian Sultan would be hostile to everyone as they carved out a new empire corresponding to Ottoman Syria and any other odds and ends they could pilfer.

  13. They probably saw the Volga and reported that, rather than clear out all the buildings between them and the Volga.

  14.  @winstonsmith8482  Old white men? Not much a significant trend in English speaking countries.

  15. Not anymore. Noteworthy is the "not about race" remark got her ousted and none of that junk about white conspiracy to rewrite history.

  16. How can you talk so much but say so little?

  17. Anyone can edit the Wiki. There's like three admins who pick a couple dozen subject matter experts to be their favorites. If you annoy them they'll IP ban you, but that's meaningless if you have a VPN. Anarchy ensues.

  18. Strange Manstein complained about needing permission to move a brigade when at that time doing so would consumer their whole supply of gas

  19.  @alexanderryan1176  no, V2 rockets

  20.  @vercot7000  I mean Japanese histiography

  21. These guys would attempt a genocide on their local Jewish population a decade later.

  22. To be fair, many majors are themselves trade skills. Like nursing.

  23. Not that big

  24. Even if it were possible, would have been any less a disaster?

  25. Definitely not his real name. Mr Musk isn't into history

  26. Many things can be learned by reading some stuff, but some stuff can only be learned by reading many things.

  27. Not just Iran, Chechnya revolted during the war, and many areas required their own garrisons because they had broken off and been reconquered within the previous 25 years when WWII was happening. Not to mention the paramilitary actions of collectivization that also took a toll on Soviet morale.

  28.  Belagerungsmörser the Sheep  i don't know why you're treating Persian as an expletive. Besides, the modern Persians call themselves Farsi.

  29.  @jamesmortimer4016  what are you even getting on about?

  30. We delude ourselves into thinking so. No, all wars begin because of sin and human error.

  31. Don't get angry at all the angry borderline people. The whole point of Keysian economics is "We know Adam Smith was right, but we don't want free markets anyway."

  32. Identified as Jewish a while back. When asked why she inferred the question was racist.

  33. Vhut are you talking about?

  34. 26:00 Partial disagreement: Rape was never normal or tollerated in Nazi Germany and sexual offenders were sent to concentration camps, although it was easy to get away with things if the offender had rank in the party or if the victim was "race enemies."

  35. It's because when Hitler was planning Barbarossa he started a bunch of BS that all the Communists were Jews. There was no basis of this whatsoever, but it's regurgitated by Jew-haters occasionally to spread hate of Jews. Reality is the only Jew in the USSR of significance was Trotsky. He was an atheist who cared nothing for his ethnic background, but neither dud Lenin and Stalin. Also, the sad and absurd tale of Birobidzhan should show what really the Jewish Soviet experience was.

  36.  @randomnerd9088  what does that have to do with anything?
    2
  37.  @thorshammer7883  the Rothschilds weren't Socialists, and their significance is often wildly overstated. And Marx was overtly anti-semitic in spite having some Jewish blood. The reason being his parents were Prussian Jewish barons who cared nothing about race or religion while Karl Marx hated everything about his parents.

  38.  @thorshammer7883  ok, now you're just making shit up.

  39.  @thorshammer7883  liars burn in hell, and that simply has no basis in fact whatsoever.

  40. The biggest liar in the room can be easily identified as the man who thinks that "defeating" the other side's lies will singlehandedly win the war. This is an extremely pointed statement in my field of study...

  41.  @TheImperatorKnight  this is most to prevent price gouging and junk like that. Taking what you say implies that any regulation means there's no free market
    2
  42.  @DonnieAllenCooper  anyone. Government bonds are as safe as the cash issued by the same government, and there was plenty of idle German currency.

  43. About the airlift: Another factor was lack of spare parts. It took ages to get things fixed because things had to be shipped from Germany from factories that were getting bombed.

  44. He no qualifications for economics whatsoever. He was a deadbeat neckbeard, literally

  45. They were busy fighting each other in a series of coups.

  46. You know this is WWII channel right?

  47. It's Ebonic. The dialect formed by slaves and carried on by free blacks. It's English words with a mix of East African accents and grammar . It's fast and disappearing in America due to intermarriage.

  48.  @overdose8329  no one cared. Also mandates were intended as temporary as both Britain and France never thought these territories would become profitable.

  49. You see a definite shift at this point in the battle, because the German commanders have ceased to put the whole city as an offensive objective and instead are aiming for neighborhoods.

  50. It's historical fiction, not a history drama.
