  • I'd disagree that Dresden in particular was strategically insignificant. The bigger issue is however that Germany and Japan were engaged in Total war, meaning all production capabilities were aimed at furthering the war efforts. Considering they didn't pull any punches when it came to killing British civilians (~100k give or take) it was more than justified to do the major firebombings.

    Should you ever choose to visit Germany I'd highly recommend talking through this with some locals. Current day germans who aren't outright nazis usually don't resent the allies for it. Nazi Germany had to lose the war by all means necessary and personally I'm really glad we lost it.

  • You're just underscoring my argument. If the British were about to tear down Stonehenge for building a shopping mall and out of nowhere the Black Panther's stealth jet materialized to take the entire thing to the Wakanda national museum, I'd be absolutely fine with it.

  • In so many cases that exact sentiment just turned out to be true though. How many ancient artifacts have been destroyed by political/religions extremists? How many more were lost due to neglect or because people tore them apart to use them as building materials? It probably wasn't right to take them at the time but man, am I glad they took them.

  • There's nothing to excuse, people die in wars. With an area this densely populated high civilian casualties are to be expected. Especially if you have combatants who are willing to hide behind the civilian population.

    Also don't even think about comparing this to Russia Ukraine. Not only did Russia kill more ukrainians, the way more important factor is the justification for the wars. Ukraine was attacked without any credible justification. You can bothsides Isreal - Gaza if you want but the mission objective of taking out hamas is infinitely more justified.

  • Not really but no offense, you seem to be a bit lost in the sauce. If you are this caught up in these kinds of thought patterns you probably radiate some very strange energy to the people around you. I may or may not read too much into that but you seem like the kind of person who would trauma dump a decade of issues onto someone who's showing even the slightest bit of interest in you. It's exhausting for people to perform this kind of emotional labor which is why the "liberal" types as you put it may avoid you.

    If you can afford it, get professional help if you don't do therapy yet. But don't mistake your friends or your date for a therapist.
