  • That’s true, though at the time you really do have to remember that the United States (with assistance from Canada, the UK, and Mexico), was truly the only allied nation (and probably any nation at all) at the time which could successfully pool together the resources, manpower, and scientific genius to accomplish the feat of unlocking nuclear fission and nuclear weapons.

    Britain was under constant air attack, threatened with invasion, and most of its manpower was drawn to the war effort, and the Soviet Union was all hands on deck for the war effort with the vast majority of the country devastated.

    Plus allied physicists can no idea how far along the German or Japanese programs were or what they would do if they reached the bomb first.

    Those physicists by extension had no idea how or when their efforts would be used. They simply did their job and accomplished one of the largest breakthroughs in human technology. I doubt very many expected that their efforts would be thrown at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, especially since they anticipated using the bombs on Germany and Japan wasn’t even a second thought.

  • That’s not really his fault though, physics is physics, and he wasn’t really pushing for its creation as much as he was terrified that Heisenberg and the Nazis were going to get to it first.

  • So is Marx, and Adam Smith.

    I would pay to see a cage fight between the two.

  • “Wait, so you guys are getting paid close to 20 times less then I was when adjusted for inflation???”

  • “”””””””“””””Won””””””””””””””

  • Corporatism is capitalism. A free market will always consolidate, monopolize, and expand its power. It’s not going to let some government get in its way. That’s why they become the government like in the US today.

  • Tell me you know knowing about socialism or communism without telling me you’ve never opened a book

  • There’s been people recently who have the exact same take as you, but then they take it a step further by going, “And that is by all white people are our enemies and they deserve to die and suffer no matter who they are”.

    You’re all good though, and don’t worry about the downvote, that happens a lot

  • I understand, but we reach a point where that is simply not our problem anymore. We cannot try and make every little detail adhere to their worldview.

    If they make the equivalence, then so be it.

  • Its still an invasion by definition. What the intentions of the assaulting army are don't matter in regard to whether a military undertaking is an invasion or not.

    We can't just pick and choose good sounding names and assume that changes reality, or that by adhering to a definition that that somehow cedes ground.

    Invasion: A military offensive in which large numbers of combatants of one geopolitical entity enter territory owned by another such entity, generally with the objective of either: conquering; liberating or re-establishing control or authority over a territory, forcing the partition of a country; altering the established government or gaining concessions from said government; or a combination thereof.

  • Broke: Germany started WW2 with the invasion of Poland

    Woke: Japan started WW2 with the invasion of China

    Ascended: Soviet Union started WW2 by invading Poland 2 weeks after the Germans

  • BadEmpenada and Knowing Better while not being full ML’s are decently good at at slowly prying away capitalist conditioning and introducing people to the truth of the world without scaring them away with to many big scary communist words.

    Good starting block but make sure they do not get stuck there.

  • Literally Warhammer 40k, sigh of course we get to miss the Golden Age

  • Reactionaries are insane. Ask a racist to explain how because you had one ancestor of a different race 150 years ago so you are automatically impure and deserve to die.

  • The real virgin oppression 😔

  • They shouldn’t be here at all. I’m not talking about the post, I’m saying that's why people are angry at them.

  • They are being attacked because they are homophobic, and hold extremely reactionary views along with the fact they are ban evading for breaking rules 2 and 3 continuously.

  • Why are you ban evading with a 1 day old Alt, Naomi

    You weren’t banned for having these views. You were banned for personal attacks, homophobia, and advocating for the eradication of people.

    That’s the point of a 30 day ban. To give you time to rethink what you said.

  • Shortest Leftist analogy (it’s 500 pages +epilogue and 20 pages of footnotes)

  • Would the KMT and Mao uniting to prevent genocide by the Japanese qualify?
