    I mean… That still works. In Iraq the US Army routinely ran bait ambushes in areas AQ was known to operate. Oh look a single vehicle and they’re waving beer bottles around. That’s not a trap at all… Meanwhile there’s an entire infantry platoon traveling dark and silent just out of the light behind them.

    I’m sorry you were molested but you cannot expect strangers to refrain from playing with each other to respect triggers they don’t even know exist. I know it sucks, I know it can even feel like physical pain. But they are not psychic and while we did not ask for trauma, it is our responsibility at the end of the day, not theirs. They’re just having fun and they should be able to do that.

    The only chance he had, while still taking Poland, was to not meaningfully attack France, Netherlands, or Britain. Make it clear he was willing to settle with them. None of those countries were thrilled to be in a war, that would have been the end of it with a new map of Europe.

    The West didn’t care about the Holocaust and felt more threatened by Russia. The war in the Pacific would have still happened of course. And there’s a fair chance the West would have teamed up with Hitler to fight Russia.

    Anything beyond Poland was just a bridge too far.


  • It’s just a step in a whole ass plan. This is the part where they spread the word with something perceived to be low risk criminal activity. Once they have enough buy in they want to crash the entire grid because it would be a lot harder to recover from. At that point though they will also prevent maintenance either from fixing the sub stations. The point there is to cause chaos. During the chaos they will murder key leaders from minority communities and unaligned political groups. That’s the part they think will kick off a race war.

    They believe black people are inherently violent and criminal so they’ll start killing all the white people near them and the white people will organize to defend themselves. They cannot conceive of a world in which black people ask the government to send in the military to deal with terrorists or a world in which the military actually comes after them.

    So it’s pretty divorced from reality, but that’s their line of logic.
