    The Katyn Massacre begs to differ with your overall thesis on Poland. Had protecting the Polish really been the desired outcome, they could have been granted autonomy of their own domestic affairs rather than annexation into the Soviet Union, in what was clearly an imperialist landgrab.

      “The katyn massacre begs to differ with your overall thesis” is such tortured awful writing that I hesitate to keep responding in order to walk you through every Timothy Snyder-tier pop history factoid lodged in your brain. It’s like talking to myself when I was 14 reading Robert Evans articles on Cracked. Let me know when you get through these, you’re welcome~ https://annas-archive.se/md5/9f9f3ebb076a7ed2d91f51d0e5440f20

        Sorry for disturbing you, you must be quite sensitive. I’m sure I’ll get around to those.

          “Sensitive” to people shitting out sentences less meaningful than Colourless Green Ideas Sleep Furiously in my mentions while handwaving collaboration with Nazis as politically acceptable and common yes. You’re pestering me. I’ve been doing all of the lifting here and educating you. I don’t think you will read those. What was the last history book you read/documentary watched etc? What made you feel entitled to my time in the first place?

            Meaning was pretty simple, you said something misleading, so I gave a piece of evidence to counter it. Pretty big massacre of Poles.

            You are correct, I will probably not read those, I was being sarcastic. You’re pretty clearly severely biased, as well as just trying to be combative for combativeness’ sake, so I’m not particularly interested. Regarding me feeling entitled, you are here posting in a community that I subscribe to, so I do feel fully entitled to engage with you as a fellow user . Particularly when someone makes a claim, it is pretty common practice on the internet to challenge it, ask for a source, etc.

              So why do you feel entitled to ask people for sources that you have no intention of examining? Couldn’t be a more clear-cut description of pseudointellectualism and concern trolling, you get all of your information from the same capital centers which supported fascism in Europe and prevented the destruction of it in the aftermath of the war. Read the books, don’t take up more of my time for attention like an annoying child.

                I wasn’t asking you for a source. I was challenging your assertion with a piece of evidence. Those are two distinct activities. That should be fairly common sense.

                Frankly, if you don’t want to be bothered, you should probably stay off the internet. It’s a rough world out there.

                edit: Oh, and btw, the AfD is most successful in former East Germany, not West Germany. So who didn’t destroy it?

                  I am presenting you with criticism of the sources which you are referencing because I know more than you lmao, you have no right to reject them out of hand as “biased” because they don’t fit your original narrative. I am rejecting your unsubstantiated claims with better material. Quit having conversations with yourself and deflecting because you can’t handle being challenged

                    If you’re refuting my evidence, you should be able to type out a brief summary of your argument for why that massacre shouldn’t matter or whatever. A brief paragraph summarizing the most important point would be fine. That’s fairly traditional instead of just “go read this stuff”, which may or may not even fully pertain, knowing passionate ideologues on the internet.
