a clone said:Yesterday, they held a small town bonfire festival down by the river levee. About 5,000 people showed up. See, when things don't work through official channels, you can always do them grassroots. Major props to the organizers.

Meanwhile, on this very day, a pundit on public television is wailing for Nazi Germany. 😵

If these photos only show 500 people, then fine. Feel free to post some where you can actually see the crowd of 5,000 clearly🙂
And here is one shot of the bonfireshttp://postimg.org/image/8dqbuini9/

But if you haven't noticed, we are currently discussing the liberation of Europe and America from Nazi fascism, not communism.

Just so you know, that happened after the liberation—in case that historical detail slipped your mind.

One regime simply replaced the other, without any intermission.
From the Baltic to the Black Sea, the saying goes: "Between Black Death and red Plague." The authorship is attributed to the Polish resistance movement.

The civilized world made its stance clear regarding both totalitarianisms that ravaged Europe, especially in the East at that time.

Following the prompt in the poll, I suggest that America commemorates this date in the same way as it is observed in Poland (which didn't provide a Quisling, according to Stulic) or Canada, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia... our close partner nations within the European Union and NATO.
The esteemed Deutsche Welle, which regularly condemns the "black death" in this article, analyzed the arrival of the "red plague" in the region.http://www.dw.com/hr/nijemci-u-slavo...ati/a-17448937

It would be great if we could see some live photos captured during this historical commemoration. Adding more of those would really help, because right now, it feels like there's hardly any visual coverage of what we're actually discussing here. 👍

Ultimately, we have to look toward building a better future while making sure we judge the evils of all totalitarian regimes. This was expressed by a veteran of the resistance movement—someone whose own family suffered under fascism (his brother was killed by the Nazi Germany regime)—who is widely recognized as one of the youngest generals in the resistance force.

Ideological terror and censorship—business as usual on this forum. It’s much easier for them to pull that than to actually defend their positions with real arguments. Cowardly behavior.

Alexander Ortiz3 said:Just so we're clear, I didn't get a warning for this specific post. I actually got flagged for trolling later when I tried to ask for an explanation—you know, asking which part was controversial or why it was erased—and instead of getting an answer, I just got hit with a penalty.

Ideological terror and censorship... just the usual around here. It’s much easier for them than actually using real arguments to prove their point. Cowardly...

velvetmaker3 said:But I got flagged just for posting my reasoning on why we don't really have anything to celebrate here...

Lisa Chase68 said:Just look at how this leftist crowd keeps targeting the conservatives. They managed to push out the only right-leaning moderator on the platform, and now they’re making everything public here... everyone seems convinced that’s exactly why it happened...

If only one side of an argument is left standing after all that biased, ideologically driven moderation, you won't have a discussion anymore... just a void where a forum used to be...
Fine, let them just go around patting each other on the back and barking like they're on Facebook... 🙂 But then you lose the actual discussions, and it just starts feeling like a typical message board. It’s really just a handful of moderators dodging responsibility because they’ve been hanging around here day and night... or more accurately, for years...☕
