Germany’s military industry was also trash at the time. Buying time for Britain’s defence also bought time for Germany’s offence.
If France, Britain, etc did something sooner rather than later a lot of bloodshed would have been avoided.
The World At War is an incredible documentary that covers it quite well.
“Since the French spurned any notion of taking the offensive, the Maginot Line ironically protected Germany better than it protected France.” Narrator, 8:10
“A few French divisions advanced 5 miles. But they didn’t even try to penetrate the Siegfried Line, at that time still unfinished. And while Poland fought on, there were no German tanks at all on the Western Front.” Narrator, 12:40
“If ze French Army would have attacked in beginning of September wiz zere very strong superiority in division in armoured cars well act all armoured cars in ze Western Front at zat time. In artillery, in air force, we ze German forces in the so called Western Front could stand no more than 1 or 2 weeks.” General Siegfried Westphal, Staff Officer Western Front, 14:05

Both. It’s probably both.
Ego shattered, nothing but rage and hatred left in that unflinching stare down. It works, it just needs done more often and by people whose opinion Trump cares about.
Lol I wish. A fascist party got the third most votes at the last election.
Ew, I just upvoted Reagan. Wtf.

That final article isn’t quite relevant though and doesn’t exactly instill confidence when it took 2 years and 108,000 searches (180 per day) before anything was done…
I’m glad to hear there’s supposed to be some form of accountability, and checks and balances but we’ve seen throughout history that those sorts of checks are always open to abuse or intentionally ignored when it’s convenient for the powers that be. You may have a benevolent police force just now but that doesn’t guarantee anything in the future.
Mandatory government ID on your person at all times is still dystopian.
At all times? Even when pished at 3am stumbling home? That sounds rather dystopian and I say that living in the country with the most CCTV in the world.
To those downvoting blakenong, have a read of this.

The day was described by social movement researchers as “the largest protest event in human history”.[1]
I don’t want to burst the feeling of optimism, but unless there’s consequences, a general strike, riots, whatever, I don’t know, something, nothing will happen.
If everyone goes back to their day job after standing out in the cold for a day or two and then pats themselves on the back saying “yeah, we showed them”, then nothing changes.
Protest is dead. The powers that be don’t care if there’s a million people shouting and screaming. Unless they suffer consequences, nothing will change.

Until you’ve been doing it for a few years, and it’s winter, and you only have 6 hours of daylight per day, and you see 0 of them.
He’s centre right, of course he dislikes communism.
Out of a population of over 300 million…
