    Labor having been in charge of organizing the Homefront well and getting lots of credit for that. Conservatives did not believe the polling and the social programs labor offered which Churchill criticized in his classic idiocy as socialism that would see Labor bring the Gestapo to Britain. So, Churchill got the credit and reverence for being a national symbol and war hero, but only the conservatives or your retelling thought he was all the election was about.

    Otherwise, I'm still not interested in going down this road on "dictators" because I know that it be a fools errand steeped in Cold War propaganda. Which, before someone jumps to it is not me functioning as an apologist for Stalin. However, it absolutely is appropriate to measure someone for their time and circumstances. That line from you stating otherwise certainly drew my attention.

    So no, I don't just think Churchill is "a bad guy". I think he was, in my opinion, a worse individual than Stalin. I know we are institutionally driven to measure Stalin as an equal figure of evil to Hitler, and that causes these exaggerated reactions, but I disagree with that too.



    I "triple down" in this instance because I believe in the statement. It's not something said out of ignorance, but of a viewpoint.

    Day getting unbanned from poopdeck via the unbanning allowing Mild to come back is a textbook example of we won, but at what cost?

    Yeah, but so far I haven't seen anything to take to heart as to why that might be the case. Only Zealot has actually put any effort into addressing it.

    I think I was arguing with Spicy on Facebook. This man got upset because Hitler and Jeffrey Dahmer were called pure evil.

    Not going to really pretend I follow the context of this stupid ass argument you posted. However, you get way too emotionally invested in your arguments. Only comment I would have for that spiel is that it is easy to recognize there is a prominent element of dehumanization that occurs in sequence with extraordinary atrocity.

    To be fair, I just refuse to seriously defend the point, and think the general kneejerking comes from individuals not even remotely versed in the subject besides a learned rejection of the mere subject. Equating it—somehow—to me saying they never did anything wrong.
    I don't need to defend this one besides saying that it is my opinion and showing I cared enough to look at the subject enough to form it. That is enough for me, and I believe that was done. Otherwise, the validation of it isn't necessary to me, and I don't seek to win everyone's opinion over on something rather trivial.
