I am once again banging my head against the wall as my socialist-identifying pro Cuba pro Vietnam pro Soviet Union friend literally cannot stop falling for reactionary talking points about gender.

There's some kind of psychology going in how nato media for decades was all "look how superior german tanks were" without mentioning that the nazis had to build each one by hand and they broke down constantly, while the ussr and usa were assembling tanks by the hundreds on modern factory lines.

The production numbers are insane, check these tables from Zaloga's Armored Champion:

Also I will never not find it funny how the Tiger II's glorious debut on the Eastern Front was a bunch of them getting ambushed and absolutely blown the fuck out by Soviets who only after the battle realized they weren't just Panthers. https://www.o5m6.de/redarmy/battleofogledow.php

Missed all the fun being out for the evening. I just want to inform you that I am not even exaggerating for comedic purposes that much, here is a random video found by typing "mongol influence on russian culture" on google and clicking the video tab. It features bangers such as "It has been several hundred years in their genetic inheritance that authoritarianism is the only solution".

Damn. I haven't heard this one in uni but I had a professor who was casually peddling Spengler and some other sus figures.

They literally think the Russian brainpan is incapable of comprehending democracy due to them assimilating Mongolo-Asiatic authoritarianism genes in the time they were under Mongol rule so probably, yeah.

I used to watch every WW2 documentary I could catch on TV as a kid, and I remember hearing the "Japan had to be nuked because otherwise 500 000 poor white troops would die attacking their home islands because fanatic Asians will all fight to the death rather than surrender" bit several times. I think I also vaguely remember hearing about how scary Asiatic Siberian divisions were sent into Berlin. Oh, and an informative 3D animation of how it took 4 Shermans to disable a Tiger.

Went to rateyourmusic to check for new releases and just noticed they locked access to the forums behind being logged in. That sucks, for a long time I used the threads that linked to an artist or album's page to find similar stuff and that's how I discovered a lot of cool things along the years. I am not going to register an account on a website that shows it will only get worse so fuck that noise.

Between every site forcing you to make accounts for even the most basic functionality, aggressively trying to get you to download their shitty mobile apps and like half the internet shitting and pissing itself if it detects that you are using a VPN, I guess capitalism will continue to strip away every bit of usability out of the internet until it remains a merely an interface for feeding your data into advertising algorithms.
