I see a lot of people recently calling Chamberlain “spineless” and saying that he “caved” to Hitler or “sold out Czechoslavakia in exchange for empty promises.” But this is really problematic because you’re not thinking of all the people who would’ve gotten hurt if this deal didn’t go through. I mean, nobody wants a repeat of the Great War. And look, I hate Hitler as much as anyone, but he’s given us his word that he’ll be content with taking only the Sudetenla-

Sorry, what’s that? Oh, I see.

As I was saying, Mr. Hitler has given us his word that he’ll be content with just annexing all of Czechoslavakia.

What was he supposed to do? Throw Europe into a major conflict, just because some fascist seizes power, removes any semblance of democracy, and starts terrorizing minorities?

Look, at the end of the day, capitalist or fascist, we might not see eye to eye on every little detail but it’s important to be the bigger person and reach across the aisle and give them every chance to stop being belligerent.

I mean, after all, if we can’t work together, then who’s going to kill all the leftists?

    This you licking fascist boots and spreading pro-fascist misinformation in the interests of ‘Peace in our time! (under a fascist regime)’, Mr. Chamberlain?

      Thank you so much for uncovering all those Tankies. Without you, I had much less fun in the Threadiverse. Please keep at it, even with all the hate you are getting, be sure there are a lot of other people like me really appreciating what you are doing.

        They’re much less common than they used to be back in 2023, at least on the ‘decent’ instances. Hopefully genocide denial will be completely dead on the non-tankie instances given a little more time!

        I hate seeing shit like this passed around, and the “Milk Before Meat” approach is how they soften their image, so I try to call it out when I see it.

        I did a wrongthink 😔

        I’m so sorry. There are, in fact, three lights. I will never trust my own eyes ever again, I pledge to always follow whatever the group decides is correct and never again to think for myself or question what I’m told. I hearby renounce all standards of evidence and uphold the in-group’s symbolic beliefs as the highest authority of epistemology. Will you ever forgive me?

        …still on the shitpost comm, yeah?

      What the fuck are you talking about. Stop following me around to other threads.

      If you like talking to me so much, finish our other conversation by providing the evidence I asked. I’m not discussing anything else with you until then.

        I never pretended to ‘engage’ with you about your continuing denial of the Uyghur Genocide, I only pointed out that you are, in fact, a genocide denier. :)

          Bruh that’s literally you in the comic. Stop following me around. I’m trying to eat breakfast.

          Dumbass really thought “sealioning” meant, “asking for evidence, in any context” 😭😭😭

            Me: “You’re a genocide denier.”

            You: “It’s not a genocide!”

            Me: “Yeah, that’s exactly what I accused you of, thanks.”

            You: “WHERE’S THE PROOF?!”

            lmao

            Just like Holocaust deniers. You hate being called out, but crave arguing about it, I suppose because the thought of murdered minorities gets your genocide-boner going.
