If German scientific contibutions are enough to outweigh the Holocaust, shouldn’t the scientific contribution of the US (not to mention giving Germany and Japan a lot of money so they could make science in the first place) already redeem a lot of evil done? The US is more than Hollywood, you know.

@Goku Black
yes.

@Ebalosus
From what I’m aware of East and West Germany’s willingness to fully confront their Nazi atrocities was a gradual process, and that Japan’s was almost nonexistent. Even so, the positive contributions to science, technology and society which both countries made outweighed the negatives. The US, on the other hand, might have provided movies and music to the masses, but at the same time it has committed far too many atrocities and crossed the moral event horizon on more than enough levels to be considered completely unredeemable.

ah so you haven’t read the bill. Good news is there is that the bill wouldn’t apply, and therefore doesn’t punish teachers, if there is a risk of an abusive parent.

Same.

Holy historical revisionism Batman! While I can’t speak to Italy’s experiences, I know for a fact that both Germany and Japan weren’t all that redeemed, given that the allies forgave like 98% percent of their war criminals and made up shit like the clean Wehrmacht in order to get into a dick-waving contest with their former allies and the people who really brought down the Nazis: the Soviet Union. This isn’t a secret or a conspiracy theory either, because it’s well known that the allies changed the outcomes of Nuremberg and its far-east equivalent.

It’s not just in Germany or Japan either: the large numbers of Dutch people here in NZ are here precisely because the Netherlands, at the behest of what would become NATO, forgave all the collaborators and let them serve in important positions in both the government and the military again, which understandably royally pissed off a lot of Dutch people who had suffered through the Nazi occupation of their homeland.

It’s why I roll my eyes at the liberals crying about the rise of fascism, because it’s people like them who forgave the Nazis and their Japanese equivalents all in the name of political expediency; and worse still, fucking whitewashed their crimes to be “not really their fault.” To paraphrase a Jewish podcaster I like: “Why is Germany still allowed to exist, especially after what they did!?”

As someone who doesn’t watch films very much, I too like hearing what some people think of some films.

That’s because they are canon…?

I wish when I tell people to chill, they actually chill instead of doubling down

@TheSultanAkbar
I mean duh, it’s something that every living organism does

@DoubleX
Is that really a question you should be asking?

@Myoozik
I usually do it for the entertainment as well, plus when I have no interest to watch/play the thing being reviewed.

I just watch/listen something to judge for myself rather than relying on a reviewer’s opinion. I just watch them for entertainment and seeing their point of view.

In the latest “When you’re so crazy you make less crazy people say stop being crazy” news, GOP Rep Adam Kizinger calls Lauren Boebert crazy for promoting her Talibangelist views.

Of course it takes a Republican to have the balls to call a spade a spade.

How exactly is it nearsighted? Germany, Italy and Japan each went through massive redemption arcs against all odds and bettered themselves to be nations deserving of international respect. In the case of Germany in particular they went a huge step further by actively denouncing their terrible crimes and taking steps to ensure they wouldn’t repeat the same mistake again. The UK and Commonwealth Nations all embraced modern liberalism and better living conditions: whether it was establishing the NHS or confiscating guns to keep their populations safe.

Meanwhile the USA did absolutely none of those things and instead continued to wage wars, push nationalistic propaganda disguised as “patriotism,” allowed extremism and fundamentalism to reign supreme, among other things. Every single country today thoroughly condemns the USA for its hatred, violence and human rights abuses and those are just facts. And even if those problems pop up once in awhile in other places, they are far more serious and rampant in the USA than in any other industrialized country.

@DarkObsidian
Yeah it’s best to just unwind and enjoy life instead of recounting past things that should’ve been moved on

I would say he sucks now but he didn’t always. He started around the same time as James. James is still cool, at least. Even if AVGN isn’t the same.

That’s a great comic, though I wish their feet would be different instead of the same

Boy howdy, not even surgery can fix this level of nearsightedness. And I wear thick glasses.
