For one, polyester fabric and clothes are just terrible

Two, technically you can 3d print a chainmail shirt, but it'd suck to wear normally

I had no idea this was getting an anime!

All this statistics on manpower yet you're completely ignoring all of the shipments of food and materials the US sent to the USSR under lend-lease. The USSR would have starved and run even more extreme shortages on tanks and aircraft without US contributions.

Stop presuming you know more than other people and READ MORE BOOKS.

I have read books om the Eastern front, from the Russian perspective. They tend to dismiss anything not Russian as a contribution to the war. That goes anywhere from claiming US materials did little tp saying that Ukrainians and Belarusians were incompetent, even though their soldiers, territory, qnd civilians bore the brunt of the fighting.

Let's also not forget that the reason the USSR was able to move their Siberian divisions to defend Moscow from Germany is because they found out that Japan wasn't planning on attacking the USSR - they were planning to attack Pearl Harbor instead. If Japan had decided to attack the USSR instead, they wouldn't have fresh winter-hardened troops to break the seige of Moscow, and would likely have to reroute divisions to reinforce a front line against the Japanese. And let's not forget that the US was the backbone (though not the only member of the allies) in the fight against the Japanese Navy.

Let's also not forget that a significant factor in the Germans advancing so quickly in Operation Barbarossa is because a lot of people in Ukraine hated the Russians because of the Holodomor. And the USSR didn't win any favors with Poles when they stabbed Poland in the back by partitioning it with Germany.

Reread my earlier comment. I never said the US won the war on it's own. I said the Allies won together, and that none of the members of the alliance could have won without the others.

But maybe that doesn't convince you. If not, I don't care.

I recommend you take your own advice. Pick up a book other than "Russia at War 1941-1945". Preferrably something that isn't full of anti-Ukrainian and anti-Belarusian propaganda.

What kind of Russian propaganda is this? None of the allies could win alone

Sees poster is from lemmy.ml

Well, that explains it

All?

Sees lemmy.ml address

Ah, that explains it

Of course, Taiwan is kind of protected by the US, the dominant superpower of the time. But they are struggling, looking weak.

Keep in mind that China is struggling as well. Their debt problems are several times worse than the US, so they could suffer a major recession within the next few years if a significant disruption like war happens.

Now go compare overall homicide rates, without limiting it to gun usage

Someone needs to develop an open source replacement for android auto and really stick it to Alphabet

It's been like that for decades to be honest. Ceres used to be called a planet, but you don't see anyone complaining about it's demotion

Here's what bugs me: Why didn't channels like GamerNexus and LTT cover the petition until after Louis declared it dead?

I lean more on the Universal Maximum Income where everything above a threshold is taxed

You literally just described the progressive tax system that every developed country has today

And by doing so you're normalizing your kids to surveillance, which is a big part of why privacy is being eroded
