Hmmm. While I likely agree with you on many of the issues you’re highlighting.. what your response highlights more is exactly what the hosts are identifying as the real problem. Which is kind of ironic.
- mousepilot 5y agoOn the other hand, "both sides" can be used to rationalize bad actors. I'd imagine that 1940's Germany would be an excellent countpoint to the "both sides" fallacy. Sometimes there really are bad guys and its useful to keep an eye out for them.
- barbacoa 5y agoThe political "other side" in Germany in 1930s was the German Communist Party. Not "free health care" communists more like gulags and firing squads communists. Not much better.
- mousepilot 5y agoI'd like to read up on the gulags and firing squads of the German left around that timeframe, can you point me to some examples, coming up a bit short on Google.
- barbacoa 5y agoThat is because they never gained power and the nazis murdered/imprisoned most of them after they won the election of 1933. Unfortunately it turned out the medicine wasn't any better than the disease. If you want to read about what the Communists had in plan for German you can read about the horrors they did in Russia. The Gulag Archipelago has been highly recommend.
- mousepilot 5y agoso let me get this straight, the few german communists that didn't get murdered, moved to russia and did the gulag thing? I was always under the impression that russians did their own overthrow of their predecessors, I didn't realise that they were actually germans. was stalin german?
