Quote: People are just pissed because Hitler killed white people instead of blacks and browns.Who told you teh jews were white, lol? Have you asked your local racist for clarity on that issue?
Quote: King Leopold II of Belgium killed 10-12 million black Africans in the Congo and stole the country blind while savagely mutilating people. No one said a word...........in the 1800's......., but, truthfully..people did say words, even then, and the whole bit was then and has gone down as a deplorable episode in history. Well...to those of us who think that sort of shit isn't "fighting domestic enemies" - which was..predictably, Leopolds position on native uprisings and unrest. He was trying to help the savages..and to do so forced labor was employed..particularly to produce rubber. This was also a going concern at auschwitz, where jews were employed in greenhouses tending to experiments in rubber production. Now, leopolds regime favored cutting off the hands of recalcitrant laborers.....but the Nazis had a different SOP for that in poland.
Quote:And we all know what a bunch of low-lifes the Founders were in regard to American Indians and blacks. The genocidal Jackson gets honored on money for his destruction against the Indians. And FDR was so racist he wouldn't even let black American troops fight white Nazis, or even build weapons to use against them, who were trying to conquer the world.
So stop being so sanctimonious and start bitching about our own war crimes instead of Hitler's, who was fighting domestic enemies doing their best to destroy Germany.
"Domestic enemies" in eleven foreign countries, and the best way to "fight" them was shuffling them into concentration camps as forced labor before..eventually, attempting to exterminate them. I suppose if you step back and take a look at the totality of history in this...the 1800s and 1900s were what formed our changing views of what was and wasn;t acceptible in a war (or in "fighting domestic enemies" or the treatment of ones own undesirable citizens or how our tacit or implicit support contributed to all of it). We saw the trail of tears, the civil war, the congo, the armenian genocide, ww1, ww2 and the holocaust...all..roughly, within 100 years (and this excludes a long list of other atrocities known and unknown to me). Is it surprising that were emerged from the other side of that century different than when we went in?
