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

Monetise or propagandise?

Both. It's probably both.

What? Where did I say that?

I'm saying that instead of the entire population having to change every single clock backwards and forwards every year. So that's children, the sick, retired people, students, workers, unemployed, aristocrats, the fucking lot, everyone. That's every computer, every clock, every embedded system.

Instead of that, jobs just say come in at 7 - 3 for half the year and 8 - 4 for the other half. Is that really such a difficult concept for them to adopt?

We are all comrades in these trying times.

Solidarity forever.

I can see your nutsack!

So have a summer schedule and a winter schedule with the bossman.

Why does some people's employment issues have to be every person's problem?

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.

Inches closer every day

The good news, if you can call it good news, is that Trump and co are so evil, and incompetent, that it's waking people up to the awful system they live under.

Harris and The Democrats would've been able to continue with business as usual and nothing would change. At least now there's some hope of a left surge in the wake of all this right wing hatred, pain, and suffering

Lol I wish. A fascist party got the third most votes at the last election.

Ungovernable mess is a hell of a way to say resistant to foreign authoritarian central control.
