The stakes between these two generations weren't the same at all. WWII was a real crisis where world freedom was actually at stake.

Nowadays, the wars are all a bunch of made up conflicts to help countries and their businesses keep control over world resources and exploit people around the world for money.

I won't argue with you there.

[–] Ultragigagigantic@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

It is the 1% vs the working class, not generation vs generation.

made up conflicts

artificial scarcity, basically

And all we 'know' about any of it is what we're told.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don't understand what you're saying.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world -5 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Compare how much you know because you figured it out to how much you know based on information from other people.

[–] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The internets way open now, plenty of places to find out what's going on vs back then where you literally just had the local radio and 1 of 3 TV channels feeding you the info.

What the fuck are you even saying?

He's saying Hitler did nothing wrong.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah. But I'm trying to make him say it. Show his real colors.

[–] Ultragigagigantic@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Good thing fascists are morons or we would all be speaking trumpanieze right now.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world -5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

People lie to get other people to fight for their benefit. Every war ever has been about that.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

So you think that the war against the Nazis and the axis force was based on some nation's lies to their own benefit?

[–] Mango@lemmy.world -5 points 6 months ago

Probably, but how should I know?

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.de 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I try to figure out as much as I can on my own, unfortunately not everybody has that kind of time. So, information must be shared once somebody found it out. That's what we're doing when we're talking to other people.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

And when that information is made up to decide your political decisions?
