im on the side of the people who might actually stop the mass slaughter as opposed to getting rolled because a chain of command is statist. if my number comes up I’d rather have died trying to crush the people doing it than merely believing in something as you seem content to do
Hubert Humphrey Stan Account (@himdogson.bsky.social) reply parent
It certainly doesn’t, but when the people who are right aren’t mighty then they lose to the people who are wrong which leads to the mass slaughter you were talking about

The Ukrainian state has been doing a better job of keeping Russia out than makhno did. The Palestinians are vulnerable to Israeli genocide because they have been denied a state. Liberal and Marxist-Leninists states were able to marshal the resources to defeat fascism while anarchists died uselessly

the liberal solution is actually to build state institutions that can generate resources that can be put towards the cause of not getting mercilessly murdered

That’s a reasonable opinion to have based on what we now know about the lingering impact of radiation but this was very poorly understood at the time- plans for the invasion of Japan called for U.S. soldiers to land on beaches that had just been hit with tactical nukes!

the next few seasons of the show were supposed to be about him, and everyone knew it, and then nick fuentes, that poor, stupid, loyal twink, fucking beefed it for all of them by killing him. or engaging in stochastic terrorism such that he was killed by one of his followers. the world may never know
Hubert Humphrey Stan Account (@himdogson.bsky.social) reply parent
Counting those, more people did tide at Tokyo- any death count for Hiroshima will include those who died of lingering effects
Hubert Humphrey Stan Account (@himdogson.bsky.social) reply parent
At Dresden the flames were so hot people sunk into melted asphalt like it was quicksand. At Tokyo the firestorms burned up all the oxygen and people suffocated to death. Horrors we can’t imagine even compared to the crimes of Putin or Netanyahu were a normal part of how the war was fought
Hubert Humphrey Stan Account (@himdogson.bsky.social) reply parent
I don’t really think so. What they knew at the time was that it made a very big explosion; the lingering effects of radiation were not understood. I would say the experience of having your city firebombed was just as horrific as having it nuked
Hubert Humphrey Stan Account (@himdogson.bsky.social) reply parent
(I should add the only general who opposed using the bombs at all *before the end of the war* was eisenhower, everyone else was speaking after it happened so it’s not a reliable indicator of what they were telling Truman before)
Hubert Humphrey Stan Account (@himdogson.bsky.social) reply parent
This is projecting the modern idea that nukes are a uniquely horrible weapon onto the past when they weren’t understood that way- to the allied leadership there was no difference between dropping a bunch of firebombs on, frex, Dresden, and dropping a nuke
Hubert Humphrey Stan Account (@himdogson.bsky.social) reply parent
I mean also, they were no more civilian targets than the kind of city it had become totally normalized to level in the air war over both Germany and Japan

I’ll admit it I do hate waffles
Hubert Humphrey Stan Account (@himdogson.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah Truman actually explicitly instructed them to stop dropping bombs after the Japanese made an offer to surrender but keep the emperor as sovereign but before they unconditionally surrendered, but he did not explicitly order nagasaki (as FDR didn't explicitly order Dresden)
Hubert Humphrey Stan Account (@himdogson.bsky.social) reply parent
theres a grain of truth to this in that Truman did want to secure surrender asap to minimize how much land the Soviets could take and this was part of the reason he used the bombs, but intimidating them was not high on the list of priorities
Hubert Humphrey Stan Account (@himdogson.bsky.social) reply parent
Frank and hasegawa disagree about the most important cause of the surrender but agree that the U.S. could not have achieved a deal with the Japanese for unconditional surrender except for the emperor
Hubert Humphrey Stan Account (@himdogson.bsky.social) reply parent
Tauyoshi Hasegawa, Racing the Enemy, and Richard Frank, Downfall: the end of the imperial Japanese empire are the two books that have set the modern consensus on the surrender of Japan- the understanding of the intercepts in this article comes from 70s era revisionism
Hubert Humphrey Stan Account (@himdogson.bsky.social) reply parent
In the event I think the Soviet invasion probably had more to do with the surrender but it’s impossible to prove a counterfactual
Hubert Humphrey Stan Account (@himdogson.bsky.social) reply parent
The intercepts of Japanese diplo cables in fact revealed that they would refuse any peace that did not preserve their regime (not just the emperor) and were still hoping to achieve conditional surrender by inflicting casualties on Kyushu
Hubert Humphrey Stan Account (@himdogson.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah this is based on outdated research and actual historians including those harshly critical of Truman like tsuyoshi hasegawa reject this idea

Ossoff is the incumbent, is charismatic and a good campaigner, and the gop have no strong candidates in a Trump midterm with Dems being the low propensity coalition. He’s safe. Michigan is a bit tougher especially if the primary gets ugly it still should be fairly easy in a Trump midterm

if you're a lib in a deep red state that's all well and good but imo your position is essentially analogous to a russian or israeli liberal- the polity you are part of is violently and brutally imposing its will on blue states so you don't get to complain when people hate your state as a group
