The British soldiers beat him severely; that is a matter of fact. I recall reading an interview with the officer who led the arrest, and he stated he barely managed to protect him from being killed like a dog.
And his time in captivity was certainly not pleasant either. They showed him no mercy.
Hoess doesn't even deserve to be called a human being. It is absolutely absurd that the Americans (of Jewish descent) beat him like a dog during his arrest and interrogation and then had the nerve to label it "brutal torture and abuse."
I haven't met a single soul in my life who would use those terms. Thank God for that.

Jerry Ruiz36 said:That is exactly what I meant by arrogance. You take definitions from your own holy book of bullshit and present them as explanations. 🤦
My apologies. You were the one quoting me. I lost my place in this mental game of chess.
Ultimately, it is hard to call this a dialogue when your strongest argument consists of long, convoluted sentences and citing academic papers or Wikipedia entries as your "holy book of bullshit." 👎

Watch this arrogance. If someone explains things multiple times,🤣🤦, the pseudo-intellectual lecturing from progressive ideologues isn't an argument. It is preaching.
The man literally quoted my posts where I "explained things multiple times" and labeled them as racism. 🤷

You completely DESTROYED me with your UNASSAILABLE ARGUMENTS. 👍
In reality, as I often start my sentences when dealing with people like you, I have been penalized roughly 400 points this year alone, and I have never met a single moderator nor is there any reason why I would be protected like a VIP at the White House.
Furthermore, in reality, on this site, at least in the threads I frequent, there are at least two users "on your side" whose posts are 90% pure, blatant trolling. One of them probably uses some random word generator; whether it is an automated script or just cheap bourbon, I leave that to the experts.
I usually dislike whataboutism, but since you all have doctorates in it, why not?
One might assume—especially after being told repeatedly—that the core issue lies in the massive statistical disparity regarding racial representation in high-paying roles. 🤔
Presenting these easily verifiable facts and suggestions to tackle racism can only be viewed as trolling, if not outright hate speech. 🤷
I will point out that this involves the exact same group of forum users who, ever since last week's election results came in, have been seething at any mention of the gender, sexual orientation, racial, or religious barriers broken by certain candidates' victories.
I have repeatedly explained this exact point—using my own words and various links—during the debate over my somewhat progressive proposal to increase minority representation in leadership roles and close the social gap.
This is a completely legitimate sociological theory.
I truly do not know how to explain it any better to a mass of worried white men. 🤷
Regarding the insults directed at Trump, my view was that it didn't violate the forum rules as I understood them, especially seeing threads like those about Syria or Canada. I must remind everyone that this is a man who has never shown even an ounce of respect or restraint when it comes to verbal insults toward others.
If the moderators say otherwise, I will comply. However, I will note that we all know deep down that on certain threads, a few users do the exact opposite—they write endless praises for Trump, either using obviously false arguments that are constantly debunked or providing no argument at all.
Personally, I never report that. A part of me hopes, out of pure humanism, that it is just trolling.
