Why do Americans say shit about ww2 like "you'd be speaking German if it wasn't for us"?

[Las Veghost grower]

Just watched a pretty cool movie yesterday called “Midway” which is obviously about the battle at Midway after PH, obviously dramatized for theatrical reasons but it still points out that we were actually the underdogs in that battle and still came out victorious

Probably wasn't half so heroic as the Brits portrayed in the film Zulu, where a mere 3 brave cornered red coats took on an entire Zulu army from all sides and still emerged victorious, then went on to extinguish the entire evil Zulu nation, what what toodlepip.

Hmm, but now I think about it, maybe we were the evil empire in that one

Who cares. We might be bringing up WW2 because we did the world a favor. All we want is for everyone to be decent humans. We're all on this planet together. If other countries would stop fighting us we would help you and together we would be stronger.

You sounds hateful. I'm Iranian American and my dad can tell you were better then Iran at least. He's from there all his family came here because it was so amazing. But they can legally.

Are politics is full of stupid people who might ruin America. China is coming, pick sides. Russia is already attacking Ukraine you think your safe? I just wish we would fix the corrupt politics and the money they waste.. smarter we need to get smarter.

We are not all in this together

I love our UK kinfolk and Allied status, but if the US didn’t help them, whatsoever, they’d be speaking German. This is plainly and clearly the truth.

'Course, if we hadn't, we might be too.

Polite reminder:

This ain't the Covid thread folks. Relevant tangential stuff is fine, but let's try to keep things neat and tidy or else discussions become impossible to make heads or tails of.

Various posts moved.

Thanks!

C'mon now. If you want accuracy, be accurate yourself.

America may or may not have been needed to help turn the tide of the war. We damn well certainly made things easier.
As Snafu has stated, the main thing not taught in our history is that the Russians were the main thing that won the war.

The Thanksgiving thing was also accurate only to an extent. A large extent, admittedly.
Yes, America has propaganda taught in it's history books. However, history is complicated and dirty, never black and white.
Hmm, you're from the UK. Funny you should point fingers at stealing land.

Hey we stole that land fair and square.

 

[PriestTheyCalledHim]

hey, when you can legally have all 18 women all over your genitals, it doesn't really matter

also you cannot compare German women to Bav women. As I have stated a bunch of times, we're genetically completely different.
we're culturally completely different. We don't even speak the same language. We're not real Germans, we're Alpine. Austria and Switzerland, that's our closest relatives.

and if you think the women I posted are ugly, I cannot convert you to heterosexuality anyways

That is very true. Southern Germans, Swiss, Austrians, and very Northern Italians tend to have a much more Roman or Gallo-Roman genetic ancestry than the very Northern Germans do as the northern Germans are more Scandinavian. There is nothing wrong with either 'type' as nobody is better than anyone else.

Because whoever gets the brains to invest in the history is writing the history
You take great director with some great producers in 1998. take 17 academy award nominee's and the lead with like them in a row like Real Madrid in Champions League from 1959.
And you make a TV show produced by that man cause Hey people are forgetting!
And now with Tik Tok and fishbrains
USA is the greatest in making entertainment into a history

Cause apparently mericans can say wtf ever they want.
I wouldn't dare be so insulting as trump. That was my biggest beef with him. Eh, politics. They all the same, imo.
Hey, show the love ya got and keep some in reserve, yes? Give that little extra to ya selves.
Peace

Are you kidding me? Someone actually said that to you? Well because self important idiots I suppose. I'm in American so I'll apologize for them. And we wonder why the rest of the world hates us

Thank you. You have no idea how comforting it is to see one of His Subjects admit what you just said.

To that it would be wicked of me to add that His Majesty's mother wore a curious uniform in the 1930's, and that Britons caused the September Massacres (Moscow). Britons caused the Napoleonic Wars. ...I could keep going.

And it pains me to say this, but England is responsible for a great many good things. England tried to talk USA out of the Iraq war, England tried to talk USA (e.g. the axis powers) out of worst excess of the Continual War: Ukraine Edition.

There's lots of us who know what we did to the various peoples of the world, even if some prefer to window dress it. For such a tiny nation to become the largest empire in history, you know there had to have been serious suffering and carnage along the way.

I wonder if the Chinese still want retribution for us forcing them to become opium addicts

What? Have you ever spoken to an asian an african? English were amongst the kindest of the colonial masters. Historically the Portugese were the cruelest in Africa, and the most elite savages were the pirates of Holland. England is a middling group of thieves at best. Even when Britons are bad, they are not that bad.

Britons are hobbits.

England has been continuously providing free security in the Middle East since the second crusade, and I'm the first person to thank them.

And much can be forgiven, given the post-traumatic stress disorder inflicted upon English by savages such as William Wallace. Even the mighty Romans did not want to deal with this mess, solving the problem of the Pict with Hadrian's Wall what a series of war crimes against Bodica's Lot failed to achieve.

If anything, I would not be as tolerant of the Scots as English are. You would become an imperialist if you were stuck wtih Scots as neighbors. Magna Carta, Stone Henge are strictly British inventions. Probably 700 of the first 1,000 or so factories were built in Britain. Off topic, I'll confess that my suits are still made of English wool. I'm convinced I can tell the difference.

To say nothing of the stress of living next to the Irish. Those who complain loudest about Britons would miss them the most were they gone, were the British language recalled, were modern cryptography never invented, if they had to sew their own clothes without an electric loom. Computer programming was invented by the English. Depeche Mode was invented by the English.

For such a tiny nation to become the largest empire in history, you know there had to have been serious suffering and carnage along the way.

I disagree, and Americans revolted only because they were trying to skip out on a tax bill.

I'm not sure that they are as ardent fans of history as you are, Brother Nigel. Instead they are fentonyl-bombing us and trying to blame Mexicans.

I wonder if the "Chinese" is just a people with his own differences and ressemblances, or if it's just the Monster to destroy with the help of God and Trump, who am i ?
