Apolyton anno 1933

[oedo]

I wonder how Apolyton would look like, if it would have existed in 1933 already. just imagine the posters would be the same, the moderators as well of course. what would have went on on Apolyton? how would we have discussed the coming events like the Nuremberg Law, Reichstag, Gestapo, Guernica, Appeasement, WWII or Holocaust?
would there have been a common agreement that Hitler was evil? would there have been statements by people saying Hitler is necessary because Stalin is the true evil?
what do you think would have been your role here and how do you think would you have argued?

would be interesting
wonder if a Bandera Apolytonia could have been organized for the Spanish Civil War

We would have stupid comments like "Don´t post in a Jewish thread"

Do you mean to defense the republic? Don't you?

Then this "Bandera Apolytonia" would be wellcome...
in the spanish civilization site

Of course. Knowing my luck I would have volunteered and been part of the busload of American volunteers who accidentally got driven behind nationalist lines in jarama (and never heard from again) before any of them saw and combat...

oh no, I wouldn´t want to have missed our Isreali friends here. however, an interesting point would have been, where would they have lived (since there was no Isreal yet) and would they have listened to the warnings of the antifacist posters in the free world. would there have been warnings anyway?

Continual simmering flamewar between "FDR is our Savior" and "FDR is a God-Damned Bolshevik" camps would naturally be in the fore.

What I'd be most interested in is Finnish forums (some sort of Muropaketti-equivalent) in 1932, the year of Mäntsälä coup attempt.

oedo: Good question. AFAIK a lot of Jews in Germany didn´t believe Hitler would really try to exterminate them. Many of them fought in WWI for the "Reich", many of them were highly decorated there.

We'd have hoards of lefties who would be saying the British & French were war mongers. Serb would be busy denying that Stalin was starving anyone in the USSR yet, then as now, he would be un able to explain why he had moved to the US if the USSR was such a wonderful place.

Intriguing.

We could really try this out by starting a 1933 thread.

History suks! lets repeat it.

Nice troll bunghole... FDR wanted to get in the war... it was the Isolationists who didn't are you a writer for the Rush Limbaugh show?

this wouldn´t work. the most common statement in Germany after May 1945 was Wir haben nichts gewusst!(We didn´t know about it all!)
