Meanwhile, in fdr's Concentration Camps....

Yeah, that was bad. People lost their property and homes. Mostly working-middle class people.

FDR, LBJ, and Lincoln all were dicks! (IMO)

Dumb Teach only thinks FDR was a dick. He’s unaware of anything the other two did wrong. In fact, he considers Abe our greatest president because the government text book he uses to brainwash his students says so.

So much for freedom of speech!

The depression didn't affect the rich at all. They had the resources to ride out eh bad years and make huge profits buying land houses and businesses at rock bottom prices. The middle class was who got hurt and FDR's programs did little for them.

Many wealthy Americans were heavily invested in the stock. They took a bath.

The people who were badly hurt were those who bought on margin. Most of the rich had enough assets to not only weather the depression, but to greatly profit from it by buying assets and property far below its real value.

True but the stock market did crash. It did hurt more than just those investing on margin including some wealthy. But yes many of the wealthy did well during the GD.

I've watched historical documentaries on this, and it wasn't eye opening in the least.
Believe it or not, the first documentary I saw on this was in school. Which wouldn't be allowed today.

Government is evil, period...............when the citizens ALLOW shit like this to happen, instead of exterminating the corruption that breeds contempt, hatred, and stupidity..........and of course, MORE corruption.

All countries and ALL governments have had camps of prisoners of one kind or another throughout history. It's nothing new and it won't be the last time it will happen either.

The government is the representative of the state. In order for the government to disappear, it is necessary to destroy the state. The state is an instrument in the hands of one class (the rich) to oppress other classes (the poor). So, in order for the state to disappear, it is necessary to create a classless society. To do this, it is necessary to destroy private ownership of the means of production. Socialism and the construction of a communist society.

Naturally, the whole propaganda machine of class societies (owned by the rich) is aimed at discrediting this idea. In general, complaints about corruption, without the destruction of capitalism, are meaningless. One will disappear with the other. Yes, it will take some time, but with the preservation of capitalism, corruption is indestructible.

He knows more about REAL history than you ever will, Andy.

So you think the American people as a whole are "evil"?

 

[Unkotare]

... he considers Abe our greatest president because ....

Because he preserved the Union, dumbass. The same Union that makes it possible for you to shoot your mouth off here and pretend to be an anarchist.

You support preserving the Union at any cost, including mass murdering women and children.

But…but…like that nasty MFer FDR imprisoned Japanese Americans.

Dumb teach proves once again how dumb he is.

 

[Unkotare]

You support preserving the Union at any cost.

YOU support destroying it at any cost.

 

[Unkotare]

Y....

But…but…like that nasty MFer FDR imprisoned Japanese Americans.

The scumbag fdr DID throw innocent AMERICANS into his concentration camps.

So you think the American people as a whole are "evil"?

If I remember, you are a teacher, aren't you?

If so, you should know enough about history, that ALL societies of ALL types, in ALL countries have had their bouts of being evil to one extent or another.

Now, the question becomes WHAT do YOU consider evil? Just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so are "good", "bad", and "evil".

Are Americans as a whole, right now, evil? No. 75% are lazy fucks, 10% are mental fuktards, and the rest are just trying to pay their fucking bills without having to deal with the lazy fucks and fuktards.

Most of the rich had enough assets to not only weather the depression

Only those that were largely debt free and actually owned their property.

Then just as now, the majority of them did not own their property, but had mortgages. And if you have no income coming in, you can not pay your mortgage.

 

[Mac-7]

The word is "Japanese," you idiot.

Now they are Japanese.

But after Pearl Harbor they were Japs

Hell, want a good laugh?

Ask any member of the military that spent time on Japan. I bet most in the US have absolutely no idea that we get our own license plates, to show that we are Americans.

Now the first thing on the left side is (normally) a Japanese letter. This is not unlike any license in the rest of the world. However, the plates issued to Americans is the only one that does not have a Japanese hiragana letter there, but one in the typical Roman Script. And it is a "Y", which stands for "Yankee". Yep, used in a derogatory manner the same as "Jap" was used during the war.

So go ahead and think on that a bit. They actually use a standard Roman letter to signify on our license plates that we are "Yankees". And they still do it to this day. Meanwhile, you can drive anywhere in the US and there is absolutely no way to tell if the person who owns a car is a US citizen or not.

Yet in Japan every car driven by an American servicemember reflects that on their license plate.
