@Bagodictionary @Chudfish14921 The actual material conditions at play against state welfare are an aging population, not gestures to some omnicausal force of "imperialism". And that certainly won't be improved by importing terminally underemployed scab labor that refuses to integrate over multiple generations.

@Bagodictionary @Chudfish14921 What unforgivable role have Swedes, Danes, and Icelanders played in the evil Western imperialist world-system usually invoked as a leftoid polemic against social democracy without open borders? Did they rule India? Did they napalm Vietnam? I've never gotten a satisfactory answer.

[dffin349 @dffin349]

@Bagodictionary @Chudfish14921 Danes do not, and will not, have to sacrifice the bargaining power of their labor nor their welfare state (all economic consequences btw, which leftists supposedly care about instead of the "culture war") just because the new leftist raison d'être is revenge against the West.

@Bagodictionary @Chudfish14921 It's "not sustainable" if you reject a priori any notion of ethnos or nationhood for the inhabitants of the "Imperial Core" to the extent of imperiling their material conditions by pushing for the actual unsustainable model — a welfare state that invites the entire Third World.

[dffin349 @dffin349]

@Bagodictionary @Chudfish14921 Ok, what about a modern example of a social democracy like Denmark becoming more restrictive on migration? Oh wait, social democracy with strong borders is basically Hitler to large parts of leftist twitter anyways because something something imperialism something Global South.

@zuozheng0 Ultranationalists on both sides of the planet, for that matter.

@Meredicchio Using the aircraft industry as an example is a particularly counterproductive choice because Tooze uses it as the case study for a sector of the German war economy with particularly effective rationalization and increases in production (achieved by Erhard Milch's RLM, not Speer).

[dffin349 @dffin349]

@Meredicchio He was vehemently anti-Indian (one of the least controversial opinions on the internet) until Trump endorsed Vivek, at which point he immediately pivoted to "not supporting Vivek is brown and third worldist". He can only do this because Trump has no consistent abortion stance.

@BillTheKid1603 Baltic history as well, for that matter.

@Goyslopper131 An SD report noted that "pronounced feelings of hatred" toward Italians "can be observed in all parts of the Reich and in every demographic". The end quote:
If the entire Italian people were to perish today, we would likely shed fewer tears for them than we would for the English.

@KampfgruppeKrag And his Mediterranean ally Mussolini was in fact sending North Africans (Libyans) to concentration camps and racially segregating them from Italian settlers (leggi razziali) in his pursuit of spazio vitale for the Italian empire.

@KampfgruppeKrag The "Arabs who joined and supported the Afrika Korps" in question:

@NateHasAHandle @Spewey_Rothbard @TheTsengMao Look up his comments on "race suicide" lmao. He literally called White people race traitors if they didn’t want to have children. The most "progressive" thing about him in a modern sense were his views on Japanese people.

[dffin349 @dffin349]

@0xbytebugs @x00ge_ii63 The damage caused by the Axis powers directly lead to the dismantling of the European colonial empires, so you might as well include Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito too.

@sentinl_grave The wholesome chungus circlejerking over Japan being a better ally than those ungrateful eurocucks didn't last very long, did it?

[dffin349 @dffin349]

@KampfgruppeKrag Setting aside the question of natural sources, Germany was in fact leading the field of synthetic oil during the interwar period and the war itself; it was an obvious strategic deficiency. Anyone familiar with such phrases as "Fischer–Tropsch" or "I.G. Farben" would know this.

[dffin349 @dffin349]

@sentinl_grave Relative to its access to oil, the Wehrmacht wasn't even an outlier. Only the Anglo-American forces achieved full motorization. The Red Army was no less dependent on horses - perhaps even more so - despite the massive oil reserves of the USSR, but this is never held against them.

[dffin349 @dffin349]

@sentinl_grave There's also the simple fact that the majority of those who served in Vietnam were volunteers, in contrast to the majority-drafted World War II military. The capeshit version would have you believe the opposite.
