  • Man, I wish they would have tried.

    General Patton having his “oh shit” moment hunkered down in Paris at 2 am before the partisans shot him.

    The KPRA helping General MacArthur do his best no-fash impression.

    The shocking realizations among the Western Allies that their local fifth columns are a lot larger, better armed, and dedicated than they had anticipated.

    A Pyrrhic victory would look much more like a loss than they ever could have anticipated. The British had an entire empire to lose and they absolutely would have. Nuking Moscow would have been impossible, nuking Paris or Berlin would only have led to a more unilateral opposition from the rest of the world as this became a global war of class struggle.









  • It’s pretty much the exact same thing in the US. Even if you don’t have to show a state ID/driver’s license, you have to be on the list and usually need to show something. You can only get on the list by registering, which requires US citizenship.

    The apparent source of this propaganda is based around the concept that some areas allow people with only a Permanent Residency but who have not yet gotten citizenship to vote in some local elections, like school board members, mayors, or on local referenda. This still notably doesn’t apply to anyone who isn’t a permanent resident or citizen nor does it allow permanent residents to vote for the president, or even moderately important figures like congresspeople or governors.
