    Nobody said that. You can’t just make shit up and act like it’s what the person you’re arguing with is thinking.

    Also people talk about this shit like we bombed today’s Japan. Japan was a horrendous empire. They were doing the same shit the Nazis were doing but in asia. Do you condem the Dresden Fire bombing this fervently? Or do you just defend the stuff that’s buzz worthy?

    Not nuking Japan would have allowed the USSR to invade Japan before they surrendered. Meaning another East/West Berlin/German situation. Can you honestly say that would have had a lower death toll?

    Stop hopping on this contextless internet hills for dying on and learn your history.










  • You’re getting down voted but you’re right. I don’t think people realize that most tires are now made from synthetic rubber, AKA plastic.

    Also someone tried to disprove you by posting a list with ICE trucks being as heavy as EV cars. Like what? Of course trucks are heavier. EV Trucks are even heavier than that and an EV subcompact will be much heavier than an ICE compact. Also everyone is talking about how trucks and SUVs are getting heavier and bigger. So not sure what they mean by “we never talk about this with trucks!”



  • It doesn’t. Pointing out the contradictions in fascism doesn’t stop fascism because they don’t care about contradictionss. They care about enforcing an authoritarian ideology on everyone, and to that end everything is permissable. As long as they’re still intent on securing power, their followers don’t care. It’s not about being right or making sense. It’s about seizing power by any means. In a democracy, that means saying whatever bullshit you have to to keep your followers engaged.

    Making fun of them for their contradictions does nothing to stop them. Not taking fascist movements seriously and expecting them to go away because their beliefs are silly is what Germany did when Hitler was rising to power. It’s not a good strategy.
