I see a lot of people recently calling Chamberlain “spineless” and saying that he “caved” to Hitler or “sold out Czechoslavakia in exchange for empty promises.” But this is really problematic because you’re not thinking of all the people who would’ve gotten hurt if this deal didn’t go through. I mean, nobody wants a repeat of the Great War. And look, I hate Hitler as much as anyone, but he’s given us his word that he’ll be content with taking only the Sudetenla-

Sorry, what’s that? Oh, I see.

As I was saying, Mr. Hitler has given us his word that he’ll be content with just annexing all of Czechoslavakia.

What was he supposed to do? Throw Europe into a major conflict, just because some fascist seizes power, removes any semblance of democracy, and starts terrorizing minorities?

Look, at the end of the day, capitalist or fascist, we might not see eye to eye on every little detail but it’s important to be the bigger person and reach across the aisle and give them every chance to stop being belligerent.

I mean, after all, if we can’t work together, then who’s going to kill all the leftists?

    This is particularly funny considering your apologia for Russian imperialism in Ukraine.

    Of course, I’m sure had you been around at the time, you would have opposed Chamberlain then, as well - after all, the Soviets and the Nazis had a common enemy in the ‘Western degenerates’. The Soviets couldn’t well genocide Poland by themselves - though they certainly put in plenty of effort!

        This you licking fascist boots and spreading pro-fascist misinformation in the interests of ‘Peace in our time! (under a fascist regime)’, Mr. Chamberlain?

          What the fuck are you talking about. Stop following me around to other threads.

          If you like talking to me so much, finish our other conversation by providing the evidence I asked. I’m not discussing anything else with you until then.

            I never pretended to ‘engage’ with you about your continuing denial of the Uyghur Genocide, I only pointed out that you are, in fact, a genocide denier. :)

              Bruh that’s literally you in the comic. Stop following me around. I’m trying to eat breakfast.

              Dumbass really thought “sealioning” meant, “asking for evidence, in any context” 😭😭😭

                Me: “You’re a genocide denier.”

                You: “It’s not a genocide!”

                Me: “Yeah, that’s exactly what I accused you of, thanks.”

                You: “WHERE’S THE PROOF?!”

                lmao

                Just like Holocaust deniers. You hate being called out, but crave arguing about it, I suppose because the thought of murdered minorities gets your genocide-boner going.

                  Do you deny the ongoing US genocide of Italians? Yes or no. Do you deny the “white genocide?” Yes or no.

                  Evidence or GTFO.

        A very small minority of them did probably less than 1%. It is insignificant when compared with the amount of leftists that fully sided with them.

          Do.you know what the Night of Long Knives was?

          Because you seem to know very little of actual history.
