  • If you ignore the good, you ignore how fascism gains power. Hitler made Germany better for a majority the citizens than any other European country. The difference was also far greater than just stealing wealth from jews. Failing to confront and acknowledge this allows fascists to succeed. You don’t fight fascism by punching them, you fight them by making a country pleasant enough to live in that the masses don’t listen in the first place.


  • There’s a huge push to simplify a lot of history from that era. Probably because there’s a lot of uncomfortable things that actually happened. It’s way easier to say nazis bad and Hitler dumb, than confronting that nazi Germany was economically superior to most of Europe at the time. That a huge amount of nazi policies enjoyed popular support globally. That holocaust included, the nazis really weren’t that bad compared to Japan/USSR during the same period.








  • I had 0 expectations for Rise, and it met those expectations perfectly. It did stupid things, but that was their only real option, unless you believe Kylo not getting redeemed or Rey being evil were ever an option.

    Solo took an established character and largely ruined him. The movie was also extremely boring, placing characters that obviously live in mortal peril to regularly build tension.
