Jokes aside, we might have better success with Parenti or asking them to watch Klein’s “Shock Doctrine” for a quick primer

You just invented a Pokémon

I honestly have no idea. If I ever try it I’ll make a post about it and try to remember to tag you.

“You’re telling me the Pope has been wrong for centuries?”

Waking up from a second coma treatment and posting immediately about something from months ago to own the libs woke moralists.

Hold my fermented yak milk. I’m going in.

“Your honor the bird that shat on my car looked like this.”

I have seen people come here saying dumb stuff, getting educated, and upon responding in good faith everyone is like “ur cute let’s snuggle with my indoor cats.”

It’s fine to be a dumbass. It’s remaining to be a dumbass where people here start to lose their patience.

Still no legs though.

It would own if a bunch of zombie Parthians showed up and made both of these rich idiots gargle molten gold. To honor tradition, of course.

Good point, I forgot about that. Roman history isn’t my forte, thanks for bringing that up.

Maybe Germania wouldn’t have been so bad without Hitler’s vaunted Romans marching in and kicking them in the dick and enslaving them every time some senator or Caesar’s failson needed to prove himself.

I mean, stone technology people built some pretty elaborate stuff, like networks of fish traps in coastal Australia, outrigger canoes in Polynesia that brought people to places as distant from their origin as Madagascar and Hawaii. Or Stonehenge if it must be whitey doing it. Goddamn the OG nazis were fuckin’ insecure.

Now I am become cautionary tale, destroyer of coherence.

Ideological consistency is a powerful thing.

Yeah the USSR had train tracks of a slightly different gauge as the tracks in Germany, wider if I am not mistaken. Lots of their Nazi equipment was shipped by the rails after the Wehrmacht engineers had refitted the tracks. For example: Tanks usually have a pretty short length of time you can reliably drive them before needing maintenance, which in the case of the overengineered German tanks, could sometimes mean an entire engine rebuild. It was simply practical to ship the tanks by rail until they were close to the front at which point they could be unloaded and driven the remaining distance.

If you look up a lot of the early objectives of Operation Barbarossa they were often rail hubs. Not only were these important to capture for Nazi war ambitions - they also wanted to deprive the Soviets of key infrastructure that could be used to efficiently resupply the Red Army. The Red Army had a lot of trucks provided through Lend-Lease but aside from the rails they also used a lot of animal-driven wagons given the necessities of warfare. Better to ship supplies on the back of a mule than nothing at all when the roads turned to mud in the spring rain. The history of the logistics on the Eastern Front is mind boggling.
