  • Buddy, I’m not going to defend the actions of Western powers during the build up to World War II. I agree with you that an antifascist alliance should have been formed and could have stopped Hitler much sooner and with much less death.

    I do find it interesting that the article you provided makes no mention of Soviet annexation (Imperialism? Colonization? Liberation? Let me know which hyperspecific term for invading another country I should use) of the pre-Brest-Litovsk territory they lost.


  • Yep, that’s why Hitler is regarded as the ultimate evil, the settler colonialism.

    The Anschluss and the annexation of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia were both justified under the guise of protecting and uniting ethnic Germans in the regions, Hitler even said he’d totally, for realsies stop after that. But I wouldn’t expect .ml’ers to care about anything that happened before the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact broke down.

    Genuine question, do other countries refer to their current government as “this administration” or “the [leader] administration”?

    In my exposure to non-US political discussions, there seems to be more reference to the majority parties or coalitions, where that’s more important to politics than it is in the US with our far-too-powerful executive branch
