Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

as i said elsewhere, it's only contradictory if you assume "group effort" means equal contribution, which is the whole point being contested.
it's also why you got shouted down for trying to uplift the US's participation beyond what it actually was.
Which I never did no matter how much you want to think I have.
I said "group effort" meaning the allied powers all over the world. I did not say "the US showed up, kicked all the Nazi ass, and won the war" which you seem to think I'm saying.
i don't want to put words in your mouth and i do wish that your comments didn't get deleted so i could actually assess this.
from the way i read the aftermath, someone said that the US hasn't won a war since wwii, someone else said that it was the USSR who won it, then you showed up to say it was a group effort (tho i can't actually read what you said, inferring it from this post.) in that context it read like minimizing, which is what i saw from the people responding.
So you admit you only saw one side of the argument and made assumptions about me? I didn't expect that.
why would you not expect me to be honest?
>opens account
you should, my posts are great
Because you came in to defend the people I originally had the argument with who called me a Nazi for the grievous sin of calling a world war a group effort.
i mean as i said, people are sensitive to that, cause the USSR's participation does get dramatically downplayed in the west.
But I never downplayed it. And let's not act like every non-american (and a good chunk of Americans) on the Internet doesn't downplay the US contribution.
