The Free Market: [does nothing]

At first I read that as "Millions of birds" and was thinking of the Four Pests Campaign

Not sure. One imagines they're at least somewhat effective to have been in use for so long.

I'm not well-informed on the parade myself, just seems odd to include Geronimo as a uniting symbol at the time.

Refugees are generally expected to return to their country of origin. The Nazis fleeing to Argentina had 0 chance or intention of returning to Allied-controlled Germany where many were wanted as war criminals.

Possibly to avoid anti-fascist demonstrators rushing the stage, as I know happened in several non-German Nazi rallies around the world.

Wermacht soldiers, most likely the majority, were the guys who got pulled into the doings of the Nazi regime. Not nazis, coerced into nazi biddings. I cant call them nazies with a serious face.

The Wehrmacht was Nazi from top to bottom

Does that mean that you parttaking in an exploitative society by contributing taxes and work hours to its economy makes you a capitalist pig?

There's a world of difference between serving as a soldier and serving as a worker.

If you think of it its pretty easy. Just dont work for them and dont pay taxes. If you think deserting to the soviets who most likely just put you in some kind of barn and starve you/send you back on the front as a human wave is acceptable it must surely not be that bad to not be a scourge on society.

Great Nazi apologia. "The alternative is possibly dying q.q so it's better to fight and possibly die for genocide instead!"

According to Heer, ‘60 to 80 per cent’ of German soldiers who fought on the eastern front participated in war crimes.

She was a Ukrainian sniper conscripted by the Soviet Union. Get your fucking facts straight, OP. Fuck Russia.

The Soviet Union included the Ukrainian SSR. If I had mistakenly meant she was from the Russian SSR, I would have said so. Furthermore, she was a volunteer.

Counterintuitive as it seems, military service was honestly probably one of the least hated parts of colonialism at the time. Many young men were eager to sign up and get their hands on a gun and military experience, as young men... often are. As colonial powers also had incentive to keep those who were armed not too keen to put a bullet through their colonists' heads, military service often was voluntary and had significant benefits compared to the civilian colonized population, who were often subject to forced labor without compensation and a near-total lack of rights. For that reason, colonial troops stationed long-term on the Western Front acquired a reputation for tenacity and endurance, despite the fact that no one in their right minds would have blamed them for doing the bare minimum.

A sick world, where fighting in the trenches for a foreign occupier was one of the least bad outcomes for an individual.

We found him in South Carolina. He is 70-years-old and said he would climb any pole if it meant getting rid of the Confederate flag.

"Yes I will. It represents the ugliness in the world that we live in," he told ABC7 News.

We asked him if the name Dianne Feinstein should be removed from that school because she ordered the flag to be replaced after he took it down, not once but three times.

"They should have the name removed from the school. She does not represent what makes the people happy and what's good in the world we live in or in San Francisco," he added.

Yet that flag was there when George Moscone was mayor of San Francisco, before Feinstein. He did not take it down yet, there is a school named after him and the board is not removing his name. Bradley says Moscone's name should also be taken down.

At least one of the school board members suggested that perhaps they should name a school after Bradley. He said it wouldn't be a bad idea.

"I believe in helping the kids and having the kids have something to look up to that they can represent and the kids will be happy," he said.

He had this message for the members of the school board:

"Keep students in this country that we live in looking forward and looking at what represents them and what's good for America," he said with a smile.
