  • One of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite professors (that I’m about to butcher) was

    “No one in history thought they were living in history. They were just… living; it’s easy for us to look back in the present and think of two people in history as contemporaries and ask 'why didn’t he learn from the mistakes of this guy? Surely they knew each other, they’re both right here together in this book. Why didn’t he just run over to page 43 and ask if it was a good idea to invade in the winter?”









  • From Wikipedia:

    Colonialism is the exploitation of people and of resources by a foreign group.

    Lebensbraum means “living space.” The Nazis didn’t want to exploit the Slavs, they wanted to exterminate and replace them. Not colonialism.

    blatant fact that the wellsprings of fascism are all “western” (ie, white) countries that have deep histories of colonialist slaughter and exploitation?

    Italians weren’t considered white until like 40 years ago and Germany famously didn’t manifest any colonial holdings like other European countries.

    So yes, please read a book.
