AtD: Renfrew and Werfner

[Gary Webb]

I agree...the author suffers from acute “perfidious Albion” syndrome... everyone in power (and yes, this includes FDR & Churchill) made horrible fucking decisions, and they didn’t bate an eyelash incinerating 10s of thousands of people... it was an annihilationist war, in the worst possible way... that ended with weapons which have the capacity to end life on the planet as we know, a first in human history... young people should be seriously dissuaded not to LARP the shitty totalitarian politics of the 20th Century... it probably won’t end like you think it will, and more than likely you’re probably not acting in your groups, or your own, best interest...

I’m not a WWII revisionist by any means but you get the same alternative viewpoint presented in the book below in GR as well...
