  • A nitpick but the Gestapo were just a part of the SS.

    The two main constituent groups were the Allgemeine SS (General SS) and Waffen-SS (Armed SS). The Allgemeine SS was responsible for enforcing the racial policy of Nazi Germany and general policing, whereas the Waffen-SS consisted of the combat units of the SS, with a sworn allegiance to Hitler. A third component of the SS, the SS-Totenkopfverbände (SS-TV; “Death’s Head Units”[2]), ran the concentration camps and extermination camps. Additional subdivisions of the SS included the Gestapo and the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) organisations. They were tasked with detecting actual or potential enemies of Nazi Germany, neutralizing the opposition, policing the German people for their commitment to Nazi ideology and providing domestic and foreign intelligence.

  • That opening is worth about a million bucks.

    I find it’s best to play ridiculous moves then that don’t show up in any books, you may end up in a strategically worse position but they have to work for their win now instead of just doing memorised plays. It’s better to burn out, than to fade away!

    USSR

    Communist

    Uh hu… And any ideology?

    Do we only have a binary choice between capitalism and communism now? Despite there being multiple forms of both, nevermind systems outside of those two.

    Capitalism has proven itself to be utterly disastrous for the environment, what do you gain from whataboutism trying to defend it by comparing it with the USSR? The USSR doesn’t exist, we need to deal with the problems we have now, not blethering on about the past. And the problems we have right now are caused by capitalism.
