    Watch this if you have the time, but it shows how the allies purposefully sailed a passenger shift in a war zone even after being warned on multiple occasion not to sail their ships in the area. The civilian ship also had cannons which they used to attack German subs.

    Hey, I do not want to give the mods a reason to split my posts into a new thread but if you want to know what the US did to provoke Germany, we can talk about it else where

    Juleswin appreciates you saying that. I dunno why he has this reputation as a shyte stirrer when all he wants is to have a civil discussion with other liberty folks in a discussion forum of all places. Imagine that?

    Nobody is supporting FDR's war and memorializing our troops isn't supporting the war.

    I know all about FDR's intervention and desire to get us into the war and I don't support any of it.
    That isn't the point, you called for the destruction of a monument to our troops who sacrificed so much to defend their country after the war was foisted on us and to destroy two evil regimes.

    And quit pretending you care about the deaths of Europeans, if America hadn't gotten involved the war would have gone on much longer and seen far more Europeans killed.

    You think you have an angle from which you can attack our country and you don't care about anything else.

    Question, do you think the US should do nothing about the sinking of the lusitania? or the invasion of Poland? if you think the answer is no as in, the US should do something then you kinda support the war. If he answer is no, then why bring it up in the discussion.

    Just admit it, you support the war against Nazi Germany. You think they are evil and its the US's job in the world to fight evil(except ofc when they are allied with evil)

    You do know you are mixing up two different wars? right?
    And nobody said we should do anything about either of those incidents or that we should go to war instead of doing something else about them, you just make that up out of thin air to slander your opponents and change the subject from your demand that monuments to the heroism of our men be destroyed.

    Purest drivel, I have made it clear that we should have stayed out of it every time I say something, but once we were involved our men deserve to be honored.
    And while I think it was wrong to get involved in the war it is possible to justly fight one evil even if that puts you on the same side as another evil, life is complex and there are many different possible circumstances.

    I didn't call for the destruction of anything. I just said they can add other groups to the mural when it comes time to redo it. And I said that when I still believed it was a WWII memorial i.e memorial for the people who as you say sacrificed so much to defend their country.

    I do care about the unnecessary killing of human beings, yes I don't sit around thinking how I can save European lives but when I see active action by anyone to kill Europeans en masse, I will call it out.

    Lies, the war would have ended a lot sooner had the US stay out. The British, French and the hapless communist Russians would have been routed in record time and forced to surrender. The US involvement increase the death count and the length of the war.

    I bring up these point to call you hypocrites who pretend on this forum to care about the European people. You people do not care about anyone but yourselves and the Trump admin. The zionist controlled govt could mow down large groups of prime European stock whites in a new war and all you people will care about is if the democrats were vexxed by the move.

    I am sure this is why you try so hard to get me banned because you don't want voices like mine constantly exposing you people

    That's what you said at first (which is altering history, RI didn't have many non-whites back then so their memorial doesn't need diversity) but not what you said later:

    I am saying maybe when the mural is redone, their savagery acts during the war can also be represented in said mural.
    You wanted it defaced to DIShonor those it is supposed to honor.

    Then you made it clear that was the intent and/or that you wanted it destroyed:

    Yup, I see my mistake now. Lusitania is ww1 and pearl harbour is wwii. But you are the one who said they sunk our ship with their U boats which is the Lusitania, that confused me.

    Thanks for clarifying your stance, my issue is with the idea that if you are doing something wrong with govt agents, you should continue doing something wrong just because you have started. Sorry but I disagree with it, we shouldn't have gotten involved and our involvement made things worse for everybody.

    Lastly they did not defend the US against anything.

    We are not dealing with a Nigerian here, we are dealing with a NAZI (possibly an arab or iranian one) in camouflage, very possibly the same one who hides behind e_d, his support for Che was just a way to support socialism (he has posted before defending the NAZIs economic policies and claiming they weren't socialist) and disrupt the site.

    Germany was never going to successfully conquer the USSR or the British Empire, the war would have dragged out for years longer and Germany would have lost anyway but only after far more people were killed in every country involved.

    And those of us who support Trump do so because he is ending the wars.

    I have always supported the banning of lying enemy trolls and you are proving that you are one more than ever before.

    Stop it, I never said I wanted the mural to be destroyed or defaced. I said when its time to redo the painting because murals fade out after years of weathering, said mural can be revised to include some other groups who scarified their lives for the war. That is all.

    The Germans sank many merchant ships in both wars.

    And they did defend their country, how the country was put in danger is a different matter but Japan and Germany both declared war on us and would have killed Americans and sought to destroy America.

    Non-interventionism doesn't make fighting an evil regime an inherently evil act once your leaders have violated no-interventionism.

    Yes, Columbo here has figured meout. I am not Nigeria and have been faking my persona for years on end just so that I can express my anti war views regarding WWII? You are just wrong and I dunno how else to convince you. I am anti war, anti colonialism and imperialist and that explains why I am fond of people like Che.

    The axis countries were going to finish off the allied countries had US stay out. The same story with WWI, Germany was just that more superior and advanced than its socialist and communist neighbours. And they didn't need to conquer USSR, just defeat the western EU countries and USSR will see no need to continue the fight.

    YOU were the one that originally pointed out that the story didn't add up and it was probably clickbait, because the mural in question did not appear to be showing WWII vets.

    Why you decided to personally denigrate the men who fought authoritarian statism in their lifetimes is beyond me.

    But that's why you're gonna wear out your welcome, again.

    This thread was never about the moral and political imperatives associated with WWII.

    It was about yet another expensive Ivy League institution of higher learning canceling a piece of history because it had too many white people in it.

    And you agreed that shouldn't happen, so why are you unnecessarily stirring the excrement for no good reason?

    I did not denigrate the men who fought in the war, just the actions of some of em and the war itself. My main point is that we should not celebrate or praise them and they did not fight authoritarianism or statism. They fought, killed and raped people who our govt did not like and they did this fighting along side very vicious statists and authoritarians.

    Also, did angeltc also wear out her welcome? there are dozens of old member who have simply been vanished from the site for unknown reasons. The mods and management never give a reason for bans, you just wake up one morning and see that someone can longer post and that is it.

    Lastly, thread topic always drift from the OP discussion point. It is just the nature of internet discussion boards. I do not intentionally try to derail topics because I hate when the mods split my posts from its original home, but this is what you get with the internet folks

    He only agreed it shouldn't happen after you called him out on it, before that he called for it himself, he said he wanted POCs added to it in spite of the fact that that would be unhistorical, then he switched to calling for it to be desecrated/destroyed.

    The lying little NAZI is here to disrupt the site and try to destroy our culture and our country that is why he continues to stir and that is why he should be banned again.

    Look I'm a Non Interventionist & I think our involvement was a mistake because the Soviet Union & Nazi Germany were both evil. I even think that the Soviet Union was worse.

    I reallly don't dislike you. But you should make better arguments why we should not fight endless wars.
    You should never attack our Troops attack the politicians they are responsible war the wars & they should be called out!
