    there's some recent history about Chamberlain going for appeasement so the british could have time to build up an army and get ready for the fight.. but i've only seen that in one place.. essentially saying he wanted to buy time for england and a year would make all the difference. i'm sure there's still a debate about all that though. one of the hilarious things about the french is after ww1 they built the 'maginot line' along the entire border w/germany. it was sophisticated and supposed to be tough to defeat but was weak in places and so the nazis just went around the difficult parts and went through the weaker sections and the maginot line was essentially useless. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maginot_Line

    some of this is a bit tinfoil hat for me and goes back to the old conspiracy idea of digital money and the "they" who control everything turning off your money if you act up.. but other parts of it make sense. she has written about bitcoin and imagines a pretty dark dystopia and has left the country and moved to chile w/her kids. still.. some interesting takes about any mainstream financial apparatus endorsing bitcoin.

    yeah. totally. it's why i asked about the date of the quote. early on a picture of hitler wasn't fixed in everyone's minds either because they just didn't know enough or weren't paying attention. it was a different world. they couldn't tap into the internet and hear/read everything hitler ever said. but whatever they knew i think they thought he sucked but how much does he suck? we'll see.. is he all talk or is he going to do some shit? it soon became obvious how bad he sucked and most people got on the right side of that.. eventually. america didn't for a while. there were complex reasons for the general population to be wary of another European war. but eventually FDR was able to convince people with some help from the japanese.

    It just sounds like he was saying “who knows what will actually happen” based on previous experience of someone saying one thing and doing another. That’s a thing that happens in history. Context is important. “This person seems terrible but we don’t know who he really is yet or how things will pan out” is a common thing to say. But yes indeed there were plenty of people wary of hitler who had a better sense of smell for who he was. It took some people a little longer to catch the foul wind.

    So true. I think the nazis killed even more Soviet’s than Stalin did. but seriously I think ussr suffered around 20 million deaths during ww2 and yes absolutely accurate about the non aggression pact. The early days of the nazis on the world stage were full of appeasement and countries stalling while they built their war machines preparing for the fight. That history is still being uncovered in some places the date of that Churchill quote is relevant. When did he say that?

    Had no idea that t-pain sang without autotune. This cover is good. Ozzy even said it’s the best cover he’s heard definitely has more gospel vibe

    elon appears to have promoted a post that said black people who go to historically black universities and colleges graduate with less worth/smarts than white people who go to big universities. https://www.yahoo.com/tech/elon-musk-endorses-tweet-saying-210500360.html

    also, slaves should never revolt, oppressed peoples should never protest. edit: @zlemflolia I'm pretty sure CustomKnob was being sarcastic.. at least that's how i took it. in case it wasn't obvious i'm also being sarcastic
