Zoomer here. When I was little I used to be obsessed with WW1 & WW2 History, now as a young adult it's nothing new to me. Prefer to look at underrated history topics whether if it's modern or not. As to how we can stop them being obsessed? Don't know honestly, either we should let it continue & see who is smart enough to go past that or we should stop using buzzwords like "nazi" or "fascist" & educate them.
>>
Probably because ww2 is so absurdly mythologized especially in the American mindset to legitimize the world today, and as things increasingly turns to shit and things increasingly reveals to not be as we were told in just about anything, then ww2 naturally also becomes both a topic of defence and a topic of scepticism for both sides in this ongoing culture war.

The fact that the word "nazi" and "fascist" is being used so liberally today against anyone who hold views that was normalized just 30 years ago is probably the most obvious factor. People are getting sick and tired of how a narrative is defended by referencing (abusing) history, especially when they find out that it's all bullshit. Fascism being 'far right' is one of the biggest lies of the 20th century but it's one of those mythologized aspects that the left entire existence rests upon so they will defend it tooth-and-nail.

Not for someone who generally have conservative values that were normality even among liberals just 30 years ago.

Fascist today is applied to anyone you simply dont like, its so retarded it's unreal. They think USA is fascist, and then you ask them if Turkey is fascist and they say "lol no wtf why would it be", as if Turkey is not 10 times more authoritarian. The inconsistency is unreal and I refuse to believe any self-aware individual doesnt have the logic and reason see through their own biased obssession.

Again, fascism and ww2 is so heavily mytholigized that the left HAS to defend the narrative because it's vital for their own legitimacy.

Just wait, in 30 years all the history books, movies, video games and music will be about the fall of Russia and China, and the solidification of the Middle East under the Western yoke. The last 80 years of relative peace have kept things largely focused on WW2 because, despite the unhinged seething of the local thirdies on the boards, literally none of the wars since have mattered much except to help solidify Western control of Asia and the Gulf States, they haven't really changed anything about civilized culture except perhaps to contribute CCR and War Pigs.

The upcoming wars will be worth writing about because it will represent another major fundamental change in the way the history books are written.

The whole thing is stupid. Liberal/leftist have no way to counteract this because they present a false binary where one is either fully on board with them (tranny story time/open borders/socialism/anti-white agitation) and is anti nazi OR you are a nazi. They cant help themselves as they can easily give these young men the pathway of saying that you can be against the liberal left system, but the reality is that nazis did commit warcrimes/the holocaust ect. and were horrible.

I would further point out that this is the exact method Ken Burns used for his American Revolution documentary. Different issue, same "solution"

In this case, America is an evil racist, sexist, capitalist country founded by evil white slave holders so fuck the constitution, we need communism now. This is the momentum behind the left and there is nothing other than minor and tipid pushback from some democrats on it. Burns is an old school Democrat liberal who still has some remnants of Norman Rockwell like Patriotism to him which I believe is sincere and he is worried about this. His solution was to offer a sort of olive branch to these people and say that the American Revolution was good because it laid the groundwork for tranny story time and Black Lives Matter and feminist marching with pussy hats for abortion as a form of birth control. It obviously wont work, its retarded, and everyone knows its bullshit. It doesnt appeal to truly patriotic people at all and it wont work at all on the intended audience because nothing will.

I lost some interest in WW2 once i studied it more deeply and realized that Axis had literally 0 chance of victory, it kinda takes away a lot of stakes

>>
>>18405979
>realized that Axis had literally 0 chance of victory
Meh, the theory can still exist, it's just that it has been greatly narrowed down because victory cannot be achieved by force.
It basically relies on Britain negotiate a peace in 1940, Germany finds a way to co-exist with the USSR, and this makes USA back off and stop being beligerent at least with Germany.

I still think Britain deciding to continue the war in 1940 is an interesting debate.
A lot of people simply conclude that it was the best/only option because they couldnt trust Hitler with another treaty, and that the debat just stops there.
But it's a bit intriguing that Britain did not at least even attempt to hear out the German offers and weight them against what continuing the war would mean, because Britain in 1940 has no way to defeat Germany, and they know this.
Their entire strategy is to basically prolong the war until USA and USSR gets involved, and build a bomber fleet that can bomb every man, woman and child on the continent, so a debate can be made on the morals and ethics of this. Yes it was within their interest to choose this path but it wasnt in the interest of the rest of humanity.
They basically want to expand the war, make it more destructive, more bloody, more bloody. By 1940 barely a million had died, barely any city had been destroyed, and the path they chose led to +40 million dead and virtually every city in Europe destroyed and the continent divided by two outsiders, all because it made sense 'for Britain' to not even at least listen to the German proposals.

"well it would have happened anyway because of Barbarossa"
A strong argument can be made against that. Because if Britain negotiate a peace in 1940, it might remove enough incentive for Barbarossa to even happen, since Barbarossa was highly motivated by the fact that Britain and Germany were at war. The economic incentive is gone, the war situation incentive is gone etc.

Doesnt matter, UK had no way to actually defeat Germany because the UK army was relatively very small. They needed allies to return to the continent. The entire UK strategy from 1940 onwards was to build a bomber fleet and wait for USSR and USA to become involed.

>>18406122
>hitler whole idea was to conquer slavs for lebensraum, this is what nazism was about
neither of these are true, they are post-war revisions because the racial trauma of slavs and jews is so immense they have to treat the German side quest east as a sort of world-shaking final battle for existence.
The Germans went east on a whim, thinking that because the Kaiser defeated Slavs in a two front war, surely the Slavs would go down easily again, perhaps fracture (again), and be divvied up (again).
>UK had 0 reason for surrendering
???
The UK could have defeated the United States in the war of 1812. unquestionably, the British Empire could have wiped out America, completely.
They signed a peace treaty because it wasnt worth the trouble.
WWII wasnt worth the trouble and it was a mistake for Britian to not accept Germany's overwhelmingly generous peace offers in 1940-1.

>they were giving them weapons for almost free
No it wasnt. At that point it was still 'cash and carry' policy, and 'bases for destroyers'. Britain went bankrupt around 1941 because of this, and then USA shifted to lend-lease.

USA were breaching neutrality but the biggest breach of neutrality was the 'shoot on sight' order by Roosevelt in 1941.

None of this really matters tho because Britain cannot win (or lose) unless USA becomes directly involved, and by directly I mean standing armies committed to the fight.

Didnt start happening until 1941.
Again, the burden of proof relies on showing that USA were committed to join the war, to actually join the war, existed in the early summer of 1940.

So far you only bring up what is happening in 1941. Is it before USA officially joins the war? yes. Is it before Britain weights its committment to continue the war? No. Thus irrelevant to the point I was making.

Have you lost track on what your original point was?
UK cant defeat Germany without American standing armies committed to the fight. There is no incentive in early 1940 and before that this would eventually happen. Where is the proof?
You only list things that happen in 1941 to make a point about the situation in 1940.

You said in >>18406145 that USA was PLANNING on joining the war. Where are those plans, where is even a hint of such plans. And again, timeline is important, because Britain made the decision to continue the war in mid-1940, so that's your frame of proof. Not after.
>>
>>18406184
look, i don't know how i can explain it any simpler
USA was on UK side since the fall of France
UK could outproduce germans by denying them trade with the rest of the world
Roosevelt didn't suddenly throw a random fit in late 1941 and become anti-germany, politics don't work like that
>>
>>18406187
>look, i don't know how i can explain it any simpler
By providing concrete proof that USA was going to officially join the war against Germany.
And that you respect timeline when providing this proof.

>USA was on UK side since the fall of France
At that point USA were merely selling and bartering with the UK. There is a huge difference between that and having armies advancing through the continent.

>UK could outproduce germans by denying them trade with the rest of the world
It still wont make UK win, because the UK army was relatively small and mostly confined to the 8th Army in Egypt. They didnt have a way to actually return to the continent and take the fight to Berlin on their own.

Again, I make my point; UK strategy when they opted to continue the war in mid-1940, was to wait for USA and USSR to become involved, and their primary strategy to wage war against Germany was to build a bomber fleet.

>Roosevelt didn't suddenly throw a random fit in late 1941 and become anti-germany, politics don't work like that
This isnt proof. This is you arguing in hindsight and then completely fail to contextualize your argument. It's just a "trust me bro they knew because look how things turned out".
>>
>>18406194
you don't believe yourself that USA was just giving shitloads of support to UK just for money and for no other reason

>>
>>18406198
>you don't believe yourself that USA was just giving shitloads of support to UK just for money and for no other reason
Okay lets put it this way.
I have more incentive to argue that the USSR would join the war on the side of Germany, based on your logic that favorable trade equals full on committment to join the war.
Of course I cant argue this because we know with hindsight that this doesnt happen, but it proves how your own argument completely relies on hindsight as well to make a point.
The British nor the Germans had no way of knowing early in the war, that by 1942 USA would be at war.

>Outproduce germans with your 500m big empire and USA help, starve them, force them to demoblize, force them to talks (normal talks, not giving shitler everything he wants for free)
Are you aware of the Dodecanese campaign? It was basically an effort by Britain to 'go their own way' without the US military, and it completely failed.
You make the point that Britain cannot lose the war which is true. But Britain also cannot win the war. They cannot push a British army on its own back into the continent and into Germany, they never even considered it. They needed the USSR and USA to soak up the Wehrmacht.
>>
>>18406203
USSR trade with Germany was never that big, it's a popular myth. Shortly after fall of France, Roosevelt handed over over 50 destroyers to UK for almost free and this trend where USA just pours weapons and other supplies to UK only continuted
USA was an ally of UK, and enemy of Germany, this is a fact, given the enormous UK advantage (their whole empire and USA support) they weren't in the need to capitulate to Germany at all, time was on their side. Hell, even if they did made a peace with Germany, it would not last

Not that big?
2 million tons of food, 1 million ton of oil, half a million tons of rubber and industrial metal?
Basically everything Germany needed to wage war.
Not that big?
Now I know you're either an idiot or just trolling.

>Roosevelt handed over over 50 destroyers to UK for almost free
They werent for free. The deal is literally called bases for destroyers and it was a huge deal for Britain because the deal was very one-sided for the benefit of USA (undermining the sovreignty of the British empire in exchange for outdated ships).
Nevertheless this deals comes in September 1940 which is also after Britains decision to continue the war. Again, timeline is an issue for you.

>and this trend where USA just pours weapons and other supplies to UK only continuted
They werent pouring weapons by mid-1940, they were selling them. Cash-and-Carry wasnt for free, stop using propagandicized grammar to make a point, be more objective and I will take you more seriously.

>USA was an ally of UK, and enemy of Germany, this is a fact
This is not proof, this is word salad because you dont have any actual concrete proof of actual things that points towards US committment to join the war in mid-1940 and earlier. You are trying to sugarcoat the fact that you are arguing in hindsight.

> given the enormous UK advantage (their whole empire and USA support) they weren't in the need to capitulate to Germany at all
Never made this point in fact in the previous post I made I literally said Germany has no way of defeating England BUT this is also vice versa. UK cannot defeat Germany entirely on her own. This does not mean UK will capitluate but in order to actually defeat Germany they need allies, and their entire strategy was to wait for USSR and USA to become involved, thereby expanding the war into a total world war of epic destruction.

Without it Germany wouldnt have stood a chance.
Germany entered starvation-mode in 1916, just 1.5 years after war had been declared.
In mid-1941 they were still doing fine, and the occupied territory which they were obligated to feed were also not starving.
This is specifically due to the extensive trade with the USSR.
You're just being a clown right now, of course the trade was significant. 1 million tons of oil made every difference.

>something wrong with that?
It can become problematic yes.
By 1940 barely a million had died yet, and most European cities were spared.
The strategy to defeat Germany by expanding the war and through bombing campaigns means the death toll rises to +40 million and most cities in ruins with the outcome of two outside powers claiming victory.
The alternative being of at least open some sort of talks with Germany to at least hear out the proposals made.
Did it make sense for Britain to continue the war? Of course it did, they had every reason to distrust Hitler with another treaty.
But did it make sense for humanity? For Europe? That can be discussed. The decision was purely out of Britains own self-interest and they didnt really care if it means total war and total destruction and huge loss of life.
As my point was made earlier, both Barbarossa and the Holocaust was deeply motivated by the fact that the war was expanding and becoming more chaotic. We should at least have a debate on whether it was better than the alternative.
>>
>>18406215
Not even remotely the point I am making.
I just wanted actual proof that USA were planning to join the war, and you're just seething about that fact.
>>
>>18406220
man, idk how to tell you but 2 million tons of food is literally nothing when you have to feed 120m people
>It can become problematic yes
yeah, hitler wanting to conquer eastern europe would lead to to that, he was pretty evil
>>
>>18406223
>man, idk how to tell you
It really sums it up because you really dont.

>yeah, hitler wanting to conquer eastern europe would lead to to that, he was pretty evil
Yeah, as opposed to those who had already conquered half of the globe and held it with an authoritarian grip. Not saying Hitler wasnt evil but the narrative is pretty problematic if you dont see this for the geopolitical war that it was between two established empires wanting to prevent a rival empire from manifestating.

I'm a zoomer and I have almost zero interest in WWII. The stuff surrounding it, sure, I'm interested in the interwar political history of the powers involved, but the actual war I just don't care about, really. It always annoys me when I walk into a bookstore and 90% of their history section is just WWII
>>
>>18406226
yeah im sorry but you can't feed 120m people with 2 million tons of food
>conquered half of the globe
i say declaring some random africian villages to be your colony bring less suffering that declaring war on 170m country armed to teeth so you can murder them all and replace it with germans
>>
>>18405464
>Did Communist or Soviet become a buzzword to defame your political opponent
Yes you stupid shitskin. Throughout the 50s-90s it was more common to accuse political opponents of being closeted communist sympathizers than it was to call them National Socialists.
The only reason you don't know this is because shitlerites like yourself stop reading history books after 1945 because it conflicts with your bullshit narrative about being some sort of ideological underdog.
>>
>>18406229
>yeah im sorry but you can't feed 120m people with 2 million tons of food
Far more than without, and it was the reason why Germany starved in ww1 but not in ww2.
I'm getting fatigued because I give you actual examples to my position while you do the opposite. Do you never think of this yourself that it's not as convincing?

>i say declaring some random africian villages to be your colony
Nice way of framing colonialism, that it absolutely wasnt achieved by mowing down people with machine guns and then enforce it by burtalizing people under your whim.

>declaring war on 170m country armed to teeth so you can murder them all and replace it with germans
Again, I am prepared to argue and make a strong case for the fact that Barbarossa was highly motivated by the fact that Britain remained at war with Germany. The livingspace argument is real but it was only secondary to the necessity to subjugate the USSR in order to win the war.
Historians have proven that neither the war nor the holocaust was planned. They were reactionary because of unfolding events.
>>
>>18406237
USSR was not reason why germans didn't "starve" it helped but it was nothing pivotal
Barbarossa was motivated by hitler and his nazi ideology, Churchill didn't trick the poor gullible painter into doing genocidies, you are insane or very insincere

I find it quite amusing how Polish nationalists try to spin WW2 as a victory when they were just as raped as the other axis nations despite kot even being on their side
>>
>>18406198
The UK fought a fraction of the German military (and Japanese for that matter) for the majority of the time and yet ended up economically worse than occupied Germany and lost most of their empire, but apparantly they are able to outproduce the entirety of the Axis.

Just like communism.
And yes, communism is criminalized in some countries for this reason.

And yet they still sent bankrupt and ended up worse than Japan and Germany, who were bombed into the stone age.

>Zoomers are into Romans, Byzantines, steppe hunter vs farmer prehistory
WWI, the Cold War, and colonial history is also very popular

What's the most reddit conflict/war? Don't just say wwii because it established the current world order.

WWII is near endlessly interesting, and important to understand thoroughly, not just because it did establish the modern geopolitical framework. There are also lots of things you can glean about human nature, peoples, economic forces, modern politics, human's poor ability to make good public policy, military tactics and strategy etc. etc.
>>

American Civil War, easily.

I'd argue that people are more interested in "niche" parts of history more than ever, understandably because the internet made academic resources easily accessible. OP is just kvetching about Hitler rehabilitation among zoomers and alphies.
>>

>just kvetching about Hitler rehabilitation among zoomers and alphies.
What I find so bizarre is how Boomers are completely incapable of attempting to understand how this came to be and what to do about it, so they just whine endlessly in impotent rage at everyone under the age of 35 being a commie or a nazi because it breaks their brains.

There's going to be last gasps of Holocaust, pro-America content, in your face Nazis bad content etc. in the next few years, and then maybe millennials will attempt to get in on it too. Should be super awkward and cringey, milliennals' take trying to extend the boomer worldview indefinitely.
>>
>>18407487
they grew up thinking liberalism is inevitable and it's evil to take rights away from antisocial subhumans. ever since 2016, it's as though le chuds are dragging them away from some utopian future every boomer/gen x-er/millennial has been promised since childhood
>>
>>18407472
This.
The internet has allowed people to access different perspectives on otherwise 'forbidden' topics, narratives that has been mythologized by boomers is being openly challenged by zoomers.
In terms of ww2, zoomers are tired of the 'nazies bad' narrative even if all those war crimes and genocides did happen, there is a thirst for content that sparks debate and contrarian to what you're 'supposed' to believe.
Boomers underestimate just how chronically online the zoomer generation is, and the amount of information the average Gen Z faggot consumes on a daily basis, and how the traditional gate-keeping wall of the internet has been gradually torn down, both on Youtube, twitter, facebook, instagram etc.
>>
>>18407499
It's not about becoming full-blown nazi, it's more about zoomers being more receptible to become contrarians than the boomer gens.

There's already been a massive wave of it since COVID (a lot of it also seems to focus way more on Jews, Israel, and antisemitism than actual WWII, i.e picrel), it's just that Zoomers see right through it and can't even afford to go to the theater in the first place.
>Should be super awkward and cringey, milliennals' take trying to extend the boomer worldview indefinitely
You're already seeing it happen in video games and tv. And again, it's just comical at this point because it reads to us like picrel.
>>
>>18407499
>im yet to see normal people marching with swastika flags
How old are you retard, just mention Jews or WWII on even normie websites and you'll notice a trend with how Zoomers react vs. Millennials and older
>>
>picrel
Shit, forgot.
Anyway, this thing is one of the most egregious examples I can think of when it comes to that type of shallow, idiotic propaganda. It's a movie about the Munich kidnappings and massacre that deliberately leaves out all of the historical context for why they happened and what motivated Black September.
>>
>>18407511
Yes and again, it's called being a contrarian.
They take the position simply because it goes against the enforced narrative.
>>
>>18407499

Gee retard it's almost like "Nazi" has become an umbrella term thrown around by our political establishment to tar anyone it doesn't like and that most people, even radicals aren't literal Nazis.
>i don't post on /pol/
I'm talking reddit, youtube, Xitter, instagram, etc.

what? "nazi" is just a synonym for "far right" in the vernacular. by that measure, there are more "nazis" today than 20 years ago. what stupid pilpul are you even trying to make, that people haven't moved significantly to the right because they aren't larping as actual nsdap members?

I'm a zoomie and I prefer the Cold War. Much more relevant to current times.

>>18408317
It's also a much longer period whose effects were deeply felt in every single country, even more than WWII given it was when all the most interesting postcolonial conflicts happened be it the Congo, Nigeria, Indochina, Arab-Israeli, or Iran-Iraq.
Places like Africa and Southeast Asia that hadn't been relevant or interesting in decades suddenly became center stage to these massive conflicts and political struggles that went on to define not just the histories of the countries involved, but also the entire region and at times the entire world.
There hasn't ever been a time in history where something like this has happened and two powers called the shots around the globe. Even today similar conflicts like Ukraine, the Sahel, and Middle East are nowhere near as clean-cut and motivated.

WW2 was my gateway to everything from accent Egypt, Victorian literature, to the Korean War.

It took me years of only WWII interest before I was ever interested in these other areas/topics of history. Who cares, it will do the same to a lot of people, and it leads to a more historically literate generation.
>>
>>18404475
Im a zoomer and ive been far more autistically obsessed with WW1 since I read Storm of Steel 10 years ago, also 19th century European military history in general. WW2 is cool and all but I just dont find it as interesting, if anything i like the interwar period more
