Alright so you have found this account (I'm so sorry). You probably have some questions. First off, if you see a bad history take on any platform, please send me a dm with either a link or (preferably) a screenshot. This is the best way of making sure I see your submission. 1/9

This was taken off Oran in November in Operation Torch where the casualty rates were mercifully very low - nowhere near 90% killed. Even Tarawa - arguably the costliest landing of the war had a KIA rate of 3% Also, very few soldiers were younger than 18

90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18. They paid the ultimate price for your freedom. You live your life the way you do because of them.

Columbus was sent back to Spain in chains and stripped of many of his hereditary privileges specifically because he was unable to turn the colony of Hispaniola (now Haiti and the DR) into a functioning country. He and his brother drove it into the ground and were kicked out

I suppose we're doing this again. This is incorrect: the Roman army relied heavily on non-citizens throughout nearly the whole of Roman history, including the periods of its greatest success in the third and second centuries, when Rome came to dominate the Mediterranean. 1/

The lowest turnout between the competitive 1932 and 1933 elections was 80% which is higher than any US election turnout as far as I'm aware.

This tweet is wrong because it pivots completely in the opposite direction. Their enemies were "Judeo-Bolshevik," Jewishness/Judaism, Communism and even mass democracy were explicably linked in the Nazi conception of politics.

First people Nazis killed: Communists First people Nazis imprisoned: Communists First organizations Nazis banned: Communist First books Nazis burned: Communist First people Nazis sent to concentration camps: Communists Liberals: "Nazis considered Jews their main enemies."



Anyways, let's do some Q&A so that I can stop doomscrolling. Ask me anything (within reason), and I'll do my best to answer.

My apologies for being so absent for the last month. This account is taxing to run, and it's hard to find the motivation to look at the posts of Nazis, Confederates, etc. I won't make any promises about being more active this month. My mental health comes first. But I'll try.
