Today i learned im a Wehraboo (self.ShitWehraboosSay)

_AGermanGuy_ が 投稿

So i was featured in the weekly thread today. And believe it or not, i am not a wheraboo. Im even subscribed to this subreddit since about a week. I never thought of myself as a wheraboo and thought the things i knew where right and so i was defending german tanks, KD and small arms in a polandball thread. But quickly people there and here pointed out that i am wrong and so on. I first didnt want to believe it but now after thinking about it, i have to confess that i am a Wheraboo. It seems that all i knew so far (or believed in knowing) was wrong and i should really start reading some books about WW2 and not wikipedia LOL

I just wanna say thank you. Without me being featured in todays weekly thread i would have never considered me being a wheraboo. Btw, my name is AGermanGuy because i am german couldnt think of something better.

Btw, does anyone have any good not wheraboo or sovietboo or anythingboo books about WW2 that i can read? Preferably in german but english is okay too.

TLDR: Im not a wehraboo but a wehraboo, rofl.

You don't have to be a wehraboo to be featured here, you just have to say wehraboo things. Or so I've learned.

And the sidebar thing (new to reddit) has a source dump, take a gander at that. Lots of good reads there.

First step is admitting you have a problem.

But seriously it happens. We live in a world were we have all the information we'll ever need at our finger tips but a metric fuck ton of it is misinformation. It makes it harder that people who peddle that shit will try and undercut actual good information in place for something that aligns with their narrative. Look at Sandy Hook truthers for example. Any type of error is blown up to be a huge conspiracy.

Fact checking is key.

I think conspiracy theories are fun to talk about. I don't hold truck in any of them but it's an entertaining topic. But you come into my home with that Sandy Hook stuff and you're no longer welcome. Something makes my stomach churn when thinking about Sandy Hook and when some edgy contrarian starts calling parents who lost their five year olds crisis actors I just see red. I can't handle it. Something literally breaks inside of me.

Also it's one of the dumbest conspiracies out there. All they have is questions. There's no geopolitics or national security issue to cover up the truth. There was one of the saddest attempts at gun regulation afterwards that failed hard. None of the garbage they spew to reinforce their paranoid and nihilistic world view is in any way convincing. They just shit on the memories of dead kids and their parents.

The fact that you've seen the error of your heretical ways and come to accept Bomber Harris into your heart as the true lord and savior makes you not a wehraboo

I guess the joke here is that many wehraboos think the bombings of Dresden and the like are war crimes?

Bringing up Dresden is usually a deflection tactic used to steer the conversation away from the crimes of the Reich.

I mean, our main objection is to use the firebombings as tu quoques or to draw moral equivalencies. The bombings raids whle based in sound logic are definitely ethically iffy and international law is convoluted enough tjat the bombings could be argued to have violated them.

Being serious in a PB thread is never right to begin with.

Embrace the shitposting. Remember: Americans are fat and stupid, Yuropoors are irrelevant and smug about it, all Asians eat dogs and shit copyright violations, Canada needs to be taken down a notch, Africa is a state of constant anarchy and AIDS, and jPaolo is a prophet of our lord and savior, Dickrhino. The sooner you accept that geographical meme circles is basically everyone taking out thousands of years worth of tensions out on each other, the better.

jPaolo is a false prophet. Legitprivilege was the future, but he was slaughtered by the Slavic hordes.

Don't feel too bad.

Pop history shows and history-channel documentaries basically are Wehraboo fodder. Heck, when my kid was younger and watching those "greatest tank battles" shows, I had to explain to him that the Germans weren't the heroes, because of how the show made them look.

If you want books to read, anything by Glantz is a great place to start, though he warned, he's an ex-military guy and is rather dry.

You seem to have seen the error of your ways so repent and recite 4 Our Father Bomber Harris and promise to never, ever use Wikipedia as a source again.

Dude, come on, it's written in large red letters at the top of the page. You even got it right once in the title.

Based on the username, I am kinda not surprised

I was always under the impression that the German education on "the pros and cons of National Socialism and Fascism" was much more thorough than in any other country, so I would actually expect less German wehraboos then for instance Swedish or American.
