I would probably meet Jesus Christ. Flirting with Christianity as of late despite so many logical objections I have, would love to see the man himself and have a conversation (I assume we will be able to speak any language we have to)

It fits the Germanic militarism better than Christianity. The latter was never a warrior religion despite medieval Catholics doing their best to say otherwise.

>In a conversation with Hitler on 14 May 1943 Guderian pointed out the futility of the operation, asking: "My Führer, why do you want to attack in the East at all this year?" To which Hitler responded: "You are quite right. Whenever I think of this attack my stomach turns over." Guderian concluded, "In that case your reaction to the problem is the correct one. Leave it alone."
Why didn't Shitler listen to Guderian?

The orders to attack were actually fake. They were forged by the chosen and delivered to the German army in secret. Hitler only learned of this after hear of the German army attack on Russia and by then it was too late to back out.

It's the dumbest story that still somehow seems to be the mainstream belief. Did everyone's high school teacher tell them this story and they never thought to look it up themselves? As far as I know sandwich shops in weren't even an established thing in Sarajevo in 1914.

Why do people claim that America won the war by themselves? I mean, the American Public wouldn't have accepted the casualties it would've required to have won the war themselves and, in all honesty, the American riflemen were, on average, fairly low-quality soldiers, never taking any risks and always hunkering down when an enemy was spotted. You might argue that this was good, because fewer people died, but their unwillingness to fight severely limited the pace of the campaign, even under the more inspiring leaders like Patton. There were many good soldiers in the American army, but because they went forward, they took most of the casualties and many elite units like the Airborne and Rangers suffered because they were the most reliable. Had the Russians not been willing to sacrifice millions of soldiers to weaken Germany, had the Americans not had the material resources necessary to fund multiple armies and had the British not been resisting the Germans since the start of the war, constantly draining their resources, then we wouldn't have won. It was a team effort and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
P.S. yes i did use teddy roosevelt and not franku, go ahead and yell at me for it

Because the government and the media has been shoving it down their throats since 1945.
Propaganda aside, it boils down to my dad can beat your dad. The general public doesn't know the nuances of the war. Frankly, they don't care. Most who are "interested" in it don't go beyond pop history.

No, the Germans never had a chance at winning. Worst case scenario the Americans just get annoyed and hurl nukes at German cities in 1945.

If you really believe this is what matters for winning wars, please surrender to your new Japanese Overlords.
None of the allies "really" won the war.

Is state sponsored morality as in the form of laws that prohibit drugs, prostitution, etc., good or bad?
Ideally, people shouldn't need laws to know what is good or bad, but at the same time, a sell governing people has its set of laws being their set of principles, and so they include the frowning upon immoral activities with laws.
For the purposes of this discussion, we will ignore the utilitarian aspect of a law (making something illegal means it will decrease).

It toes the line of a nanny state, but it can still be good. The question is this, are you enacting these laws to raise a strong and upstanding population? Or do you think your people are kids too irresponsible to handle themselves, so the state must act as a parent.
Drugs, drunkenness, excessive gambling, prostitution, gay marriage, all of these hurt the fabric of society, making for a weak nation and weak people. Making laws against them is perfectly reasonable. But if you go to far, you risk making your people weak and degenerate anyways. Your people become pansies and sissies, ever reliant on the benevolent government to fix their problems for them.
So here's the state of things. You need to keep degenerate and corrupting influences away from your people, while also raising a nation of people with grit and a decent amount of self-reliance.

Why didn't God just make humans nicer and less inclined to be perverted/violent/jealous etc.? Don't give me that 'free will' bullshit either; I don't see why it's seen as impossible to have free will while also being so predisposed good that you almost never do bad things.
