In the European theater? Maybe on the western front you could argue that was true but absolutely not on the eastern front. The Red Army was the cause of so many rapes and warcrimes on their way to Berlin. Not to mention their occupation of Eastern Europe, setting up on puppet states and later genocide in Eastern Europe. The western front also had plenty of rape cases caused by an army passing through. Definitely better than the eastern front but still heavily impacted the regions they passed through.

The Pacific theater is a bit of a question mark. The Japanese were absolutely awful, worse than the Nazis in quite a few ways. But from the sheer intensity of the fighting over here it is not a pleasant experience for anyone involved. Especially if you were a Japanese citizen during the island hopping campaign. There are plenty of reports of mass suicides being committed out of fear of what the US could do to them, to the US’ credit they did send interpreters to try to talk them out of it. Then there is the ethical question of the usage of the nuclear bombs, I am not going to give my opinion, this is one you must decide for yourself. The Chinese front is another complicated topic, there’s the Japanese with their brutality in things like the Rape of Nanking and there is what would be Maoist China, the Republic of China (who I don’t know enough about to make an argument on) and the USSR who is also here to complete the shit sandwich.

The North African front I know the least about so I am not even going to discuss it.

It should be income adjusted up to a certain income amount where it becomes net worth adjusted. This way stocks, land, properties and possessions can be calculated in to make the fines more impactful for the ultra wealthy.

Along with adjustments for not changing behaviors after previous fines.

Oh most definitely, under the local laws here drivers are required to yield to a pedestrian if they can reasonably do so. If they hit me they would always be liable since it doesn’t matter if I had been in a marked crosswalk (like I was) or not since they have the responsibility to stop.

Sad thing is this isn’t even a rare occurrence, it happens almost every single day and nothing is done about it

Why the fuck do cars here have to be so comically big? And why do the people driving them have to be such utter assholes. I was trying to cross the street to get back to my dorm room yesterday and 2 cars at the same crosswalk almost hit me. Like the fuck, the first had all the time in the world to slow down but only did so seconds before hitting me. The second was a person who sped up to go around the first car that wasn’t paying attention and almost hit me again. Maybe if you don’t want to have to stop for pedestrians maybe don’t drive through a college campus?!! I know what a wild concept

This is how a healthy democracy deals with undemocratic parties, you fucking toss them aside and call them what they are. Good for you Germany, may your democracy live long

This is Trump telling us exactly what he fucking wants, he wants the power and prestige from being the pope. Expect him to try to proclaim himself as the pope with some time. Expect him to excommunicate the Catholic Church when they inevitably don’t pick his dumbass.
