You’re completely right that people turned a blind eye to what the Nazis were doing for as long as they could. But once shit hit the fan the Holocaust was no null part of why people kept fighting while protecting the jewish people that were unfortunate enough to live in their region. The main goal was liberating themselves from the occupation, but what the Nazis were trying to do just made it so much more important to gain control back from these monsters.

Having a european perspective on the way this part of history is told I took the following phases away:

• Allied nations tried their best to avoid confrontation.
• Nazis attacked and WW2 began.
• The Allied lost more and more territory.
• Inside these occupied territories people did the following things:
  • Fight to liberate themselves.
  • Otherwise fight undercover to hide and protect jewish people living in their region.

So while the main reason was to gain sovereignty back, the Holocaust heavily contributed to people fighting back at all costs. Witnessing such atrocities marked europeans really hard, and teachings of this story try to emphasis the scale of the horrors that the Nazis were inflicting to occupied places. It’s documented, witnesses are still somewhat around to tell what they’ve seen and if not their testimony was properly shared with later generations.

All that to say that while WW2 was fought over protecting sovereignty, it became more than that once people ended up as the first witnesses of the ongoing genocide.

Now I have to say that I have no idea what’s a north-american perspective on that matter.

what do they think WW2 was fought over?

When the goal is no longer to be productive to earn money but to earn money in whatever way possible.

Your tongue is sitting behind your teeth in your mouth.

Have fun.

How is lab grown meat change for the sake of change? There’s obvious benefits to it: no more need to breed beings just to eat them, less resource-intensive, frees up land, and I might be missing others

Technically speaking it would pick up the men in metal armors, not the wooden horse per se.

But the barrier would lift for the wooden horse full of men in armor indeed.

Sorry that’s A-tier

I am never sick when doing roller coasters or reading in a moving car, but I was really nauseous after my first 15-min VR session. I was pretty scared I fucked up buying a Valve Index only to get that much sick playing… But I had a feeling (hope?) that I could get used to it: After about 2 weeks of playing a bit every night I was no longer getting sick at all. I can go until the controllers run out of battery now.

To me the effort was worth it, but I have a friend that was the opposite and didn’t enjoy experiencing virtual worlds that way…

My advice: If you ever try it then try to ignore the sickness -as you can get used to it- and focus on how much you enjoy being immersed in virtual worlds.
