What the Russian army marches to

[Something completely different]

Look, it's a simple rule: Just don't mention the war around Germans.

That is not it. Many members repeatedly mention it and mostly in a joking way. I am also always ready to answere questions about my countries history.

What I dont understand is constantly mentioning it and trying to interpret something fascist into everything I have to say.

Or perhaps he feels as if you are associating Nazis too tightly with all Germans, kind of like how I might feel as an American if every time I walked into a room with foreigners everyone brought up General Custer and our genocide of Native Americans (or our recent war of aggression in Iraq).

I don't really care how people feel about me criticizing the Nazis, which is all I did. They need to get over it.

I always brought up American foreign aggression and love of violence with pretty much all Americans I met, there was a nice guy from MIT I met once and we had a pretty good debate about it. There's no need to get defensive about it in my opinion.

I thought he mentioned being in the former German federal state of "Austria"

Weird thing about "Austria". That used to BE Germany. No, not just included in Germany; it actually was Germany.

When the Frankish Germanic tribe's empire conquered under that Christian thug "Charlemagne" was split between his three sons, the western empire became France (Frankish kingdom) and the eastern empire became the first German empire (Ost Der Reich or "Eastern Empire"). Ost Der Reich became Osterreich or Austria.

Austria became known as the Holy Roman Empire when it conquered northern Italy. It was, as Napoleon observed, neither Holy nor Roman but it fit with the German obsession to become the revived Roman Empire, or at least that's a theory of mine which I can go into in further depth.

After the 30 Years War, Germany was ravaged and disunited (an occupational hazard being a country located in the middle of Europe). It was Prussia that would later reunite Germany under its banner becoming the 2nd Reich and cutting Austria out. And so the 2nd German empire became a separate country from the 1st German empire.

Any effort to unite the two must overcome having a very unfortunate advocate so the separation is a done deal. Still, I regard it as kind of funny, as if London were a separate country from England, but that's the way international politics unfolds sometimes.

TGAC, please let me know if there's any part of your country's history I got wrong. Thanks.

Hey, ideologue: why are you so defensive about bin Laden and his ideals? Could it be that you are sympathetic towards them?

Before anyone blows this out of all proportion, I don't care how people feel about me criticising al Qaeda, which is all I did.

See how this works?

But I'm never defensive about bin laden or alqaeda, in fact I'm a vocal critic whereas Germans has never failed to be offended every time I criticize the Nazis. He starts getting angry and generally unhinged.

Do you see the difference now?

[Faith No More]

No, because apparently you haven't looked around enough to see TGAC criticize Nazis.

No, because apparently you haven't looked around enough to see TGAC criticize Nazis.

So why is he angry when I criticize Nazis then, on at least 3 occasions he started a flame war stemming directly from my criticism of Nazis. If he doesn't feel affiliated with them or sympathetic towards them, he wouldn't be engaging in an internet jihad for them. You get what I'm sayin' bro?

[Faith No More]

He's not upset at you criticizing Nazis. He's upset at you calling him a Nazi. Get it?
