World War II In A Nutshell




















WWII
  • Germany invades Czechoslovakia.
  • Britain & France tell them to stop that bullsh*t.
  • Germany invades Poland. (Russia also invades Poland from the other side: everybody forgets this.)
  • Britain & France declare war. This is the 'official' kick-off.
  • Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary, & Romania all join the German side. (Everybody forgets the last three.)
  • Axis forces go through Europe like a hot knife through butter.
  • Nazis exterminate Jews, gays, gypsies, & the disabled. (everybody remembers the jews but forgets the rest.)
  • UK holds out.
  • Russia & the USA don't do sh*t.
  • Entire divisions of Danish, Belgian, Dutch, Norwegian, French & Serbian volunteers join the Axis armies & SS. (everybody forgets this & to listen to them now, they were all in the f***ing resistance, which must have been MASSIVE.)
  • Axis forces invade Russia. Suddenly the Russians don't think it's funny any more.
  • Japan joins the Axis & bombs Pearl Harbor.
  • Suddenly the US doesn't think it's funny any more.
  • The USA tools up the world, 'cause it's got more factories than everybody else put together, & they're out of bomber range.
  • Axis runs out of steam in Russia, cause Russia's enormous & bloody freezing.
  • Allies invade on D-Day... 5 landings: 2 British, 2 American, 1 Canadian. (everybody forgets the Canadians.)
  • Hitler ends up smoldering in a ditch. Russians find the body & confirm he only had one ball. Seriously.
  • The US decides invading stuff is a pain in the ass and invents the atom bomb instead. Drops two buckets 'o sunshine on Japan.
  • Russians steal half of Europe.
  • UK's spent almost every penny it had.
  • US starts telling everybody how it was all about them, & 64 years later is still doing so.

    School and Home School

      Oh my. I don't have time to write this. So it will be as follows:   1. What is school for? I think that Seth has a good grasp on this at the bottom, see [1] 2. There's an ongoing debate about homeschooling vs. public schooling. 3. I agree with most things about home schooling. Which is why I take the view that my kids are home schooled 5 days a week, from 3pm to 9pm, on the weekends, and all of their vacation time. 4. Home schooling should feel like art, it's enjoyable (largely), so don't worry about overloading the tone of "school" in it. 5. Everyone's situation is different: (a) Some of us have checks coming to us from the government that give us all day to do as we please. (b) Some of us have to work long hours every day to survive. (c) Some of us have a spouse that gives us all day to do with as we please. (d) Some of us are the spouse that gives the other all day to do as they please. etc. 6. Thus, our ideals aren't applicable to everyone. 7. Th...

    Is Your Government A Narcissist?

      First of all, I apologize. Writing is a craft that takes ample time to do well, but I live in time and society that necessitates swift communication. The two don't go well together. I'm a single father who also looks after his elderly father, so there will be some grammatical mistakes, as well as composition related ones. Please endure with me through a semi edited writing. UNO There's a reporter who's controversial Tucker Carlson. I couldn't tell you why he's controversial, I just know that he is by how people talk about him. I also heard that Tucker Carlson is on the "far right". In our ZANY society, if you identify as the opposing party, in this case that would be "the left", it is almost socially mandatory that an individual express negativity for that person. Because if you don't someone might look at you suspiciously. DOS There's a personality disorder call "Narcissist" . They come in a couple of flavors. Tucker Car...

    Does Art Necessitate Mental Unrest?

    Music alone is not enough And being a film director is too much It's usually the case that there's nothing that I want to say badly enough to put myself through the labor. There was a time when I really wanted to say something, and I did. But, mental well being, in a way, quells the desire to express myself through art. Something about art has been about me not being seen enough, good enough, or just enough period. Feeling like enough kills the drive to express yourself in what David Bowie once called "such rarefied terms". I still make music, I still record music, almost never finish it, and share it with others even less. There's more to me than being a musician. I do have a love for it, but I need more. I always hated math, I've grown curious about it, and have gotten substantially better. The pandemic compelled me to become a roof salesman and to get my insurance adjusters license. I still laugh at that, but nothing is wasted. Transferable knowledge is tak...
