What're some of the stupidest things you've ever hear about history or politics -

[Rand /pol/]

I'll start

-"The Germans just went around the Maginot line"
-"The Japanese/Germans were tricked into supporting dictatorships"
-"The founding fathers supported civil/equal rights for non whites and women"
-"Trench/Static warfare completely stopped happening after WW1"

"Hitler did nothing wrong"
"The holocaust didn't happen"

"Satan inflated himself, turning himself into a moon between Earth and the real moon. Thus, he deluded Man that he landed on the moon, but, in fact, he landed on Satan."

 

[Judge Holden]

*Germany would have won WW2 if only Hitler hadnt made all them dumb decisions*

Seriously. So many fucking Wehrboos are so enamoured by muh ubermensch prussian artsitocrat generals that they forget the fact that Hitler was actually pretty damn on the money when it came to Barbarossa, both initiating it (since Germany was about to reach Oil Apocalypse due to the British Blockade and Russia had the only decent source of oil in tangible reach) and in overall strategy (the Generals flat out crippled the whole eastern front by obsessing with reaching Moscow and big showpiece battles over Hitler's strategy of reaching the Caucus oil fields and both getting the resources Germany needed to win and dangerously crippling the Soviets).

Hitler wasnt some strategic savant or anything but he was not an idiot and actually had a grasp of how the dire resource and economic situation needed to guide germany's strategy rather than "take Moscow and hope this magically makes the remaining 90% of russia stop fighting" which is what the generals thought, and their interference in his strategy turned an "ok MAYBE if we are really fucking lucky Germany might pull a win out the bag in the east" situation into the "OHFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING OUT THE FUCKING WALLS!" rout that happened. No wonder Hitler spent the remainder of his life after 1942 getting chugging down meth.

Frankly Germany probably was never going to have any real chance of winning a full on WW2, and Hitler was a tard to believe the likes of Ribbentrop and co in their foreign policy assessments and invade Poland thinking it wouldnt start that war, but after the war began Hitler was not the liability his shitty generals later retconned the historical record to say he was.

Anything about Brexit.

"White people were the most brutal conquerors in history," courtesy of a commie in one of my history classes.

No. Not even close

Timur himself was a particularly brutal bastard, having killed around 5% of the world's population with his conquests.

Genghis Khan did so much damage to the Khwareziman Empire that it only took two years before it was outright conquered. The man absolutely brutalized the Middle East, doing so much damage to the landscape that it STILL hasn't fully recovered.

 

[Nekromantik]

I had a teacher that was a German immigrant. She had some serious hate for Russians. She told us that the Russian flag was red because Russians dyed it red with the blood of children they killed every year. She also read us the book Hiroshima No Pika, and told us that Japan did nothing wrong dunning the war and Americans just like to attack everything. I was seven and barely understood what WW2 was about.

Edit: I almost for got a picture from the lovely book about atomic bombs.

Pretty much any case of WE WUZ, from "Egyptian pharaohs were coal-black KANGZ" to "White (Nordic) people founded every major civilization ever".

"Rome fell because of feminism."

This damned thing:

 

[UselessRubberKeyboard]

Italian politics. All of it. Any time period. The whole thing is a giant lolcow with spaghetti topping.

Edit: also, what @Jan_Hus said. The current fashion for blaming ypeepul for everything only shows how little sjws know about history. They think slavery from Africa to the Americas was bad? Tiny fucking drop compared to some of the shit throughout history.

 

[Bunny Tracks]

That the Japanese ever had a chance at winning WWII. Even without the nukes they still would've been defeated. The moment they decided to pick a fight with America is the moment they lost.

"Resistance groups caused great damage to the Axis"
A single Allied Bomber squadron did more to end the war than all the Resistance groups combined
"Conventional Armies have never won against guerilla groups, the US can't win in Afghanistan"
The US was successful at curbing Phillipine terror groups, the Indian Wars were a complete failure for the Natives, etc.

For Rome falling NOT because of feminism? Read a book nigger.
