The Left Does not Reason

[Alexander PhiAlipson]

T-34's were so popular with Germans that they had special "conversion kits" for them. They employed Czech tanks throughout the war in one capacity or another. In Normandy, the Allies faced French tanks with Ukrainian crews. Gerry-rigged has acquired a negative connotation in modern parlance, but they were clever bastards and would put anything to useful to use. Also, who didn't love a jeep?

Why, in your opinion, is there an expectation of violence just due to opposing views at a major university

LOL Not unless there's an expectation of violent mobs at said university.

I have no idea why I can't get such a simple idea across.. I'm not in favor of there being a mob, not in favor of idiots throwing a violent fit. But when such a situation arises, the most basic instinct of any living creature would be to avoid that situation, not provoke it further. There's nothing to be gained, other than an opportunity to play victim in front of cameras. And that's exactly what happened.

You can call it 'mob-trolling' if you like, but it's fucking stupid. There were a number of clever terms used when the Left was doing this at Trump rallies, yet somehow we're all ignorant of this when it's reversed.

The message is, if you support Trump you deserve a beat down. And should not expect to enjoy any Civil Rights.

Well, that was a waste of posts.

Again, same thing happened when BLM showed up to Trump rallies, and it was all chuckles and chortles.

When Piers Morgan is the rational one... Jim Jefferies had a hell of an argument here...

Concerning the concentration camps, many Jews died. But so would have our Japanese camp population if we lost the ability to feed them and the camps were overrun by disease. Hitler preferred to relocate them to begin with before the war even started. Once it got underway he couldn't have them about freely as a subversive element. His memory of WWI wouldn't permit that.

This is a valid point. I don't know if it's true, but that has happened in American history. One hundred fifty years later, and almost no one knows that the story of Wirz they learned in school was made up, and that he was railroaded to provide a scapegoat.

Henry Wirz's trial and execution created a lasting controversy. It started when it was disclosed that the star witness for the prosecution worked for the Interior Department and that he had perjured himself at the trial. He was not Felix de la Baume from France, but Felix Oeser born in the 1840s in Saxony, which was a part of the German Confederation at the time, and was actually a deserter from the 7th New York Volunteers.[28] The Washington Evening Star published on November 27, 1865 the following, "The German witness Beaume, who figured extensively in the Wirz trial, has been dismissed from the Interior Department, it having been shown that he was a deserter from the 7th New York (Steuben) regiment. His real name is Felix Oessel."

During and after the trial Wirz was reviled in the court of public opinion as The Demon of Andersonville.[31] After time passed, some writers suggested Wirz's tribunal was unfair and claimed that, "Wirz did not receive a fair trial. Nevertheless, he was found guilty and sentenced to death."[32] Even a few of his former prisoners conceded during the trial that the little support Wirz received from the Confederate government in terms of food, water and medical supplies made the conditions at Andersonville beyond his scope of responsibility. In 1980, historian Morgan D. Peoples referred to Wirz as a "scapegoat".[33] Wirz's conviction remains controversial.

When I researched this for a history paper about eight years ago, this was not on the page.

Sorry not sorry. Don't do shit like that and lose. There is no substitute for victory.

Who are you talking about?

Concern trolling on top, for the combo. Boy, you defended some Right Thinking today. Rest easy, noble warrior, secure in the knowledge that you've defended the world from Evil once again.

What I'm hearing from you out of all of this is that UC Berkeley is claimed territory. It is occupied with people that will not necessarily respect Civil Rights. Enter at your own risk. If you are willing to voice an opposing opinion, you can and should expect violence.

No trolling, is this how you see things ?

No. I just have enough instinct for self-preservation

A coward by any other name...

If I were to do so, and got hurt, then screamed to the media about what a victim I was, what would you call me?

A boy with a newly descended teste waiting for the other to drop.

Where was the chuckles? Honestly? Maybe a shoulder shrug or a "youth is wasted on the young." Type thing.

Here's a wood gas motor fitted to a Volkswagen. In fact petrol was so precious that the conversion became popular not only in Germany, but here state side. One most be careful though, as these produce orders of magnitude more carbon monoxide than a diesel motor.

Nazi's or confederates. War crimes suck, losing sucks harder. Don't expect sympathy for the former when you do the latter.
