Local amateur historian and occasional beloved family member Paul Poppavich vehemently dismisses news of fascism’s rising international tide, despite an encyclopedic knowledge of World War II history.
There was more to WW1 starting than Franz Ferdinand getting shot, too. They are sarcastically skewering people’s simplistic understanding of the causes of those two conflicts.
This hurts cause this is my dad. I figured they like the military and battle shit, not the political environment that lead to it.
They do like the military and battle shit. That’s the problem, they’re completely blind to any of the more complicated, interpersonal stuff.
Pew pew boom boom yaaaay, yap yap nooo
WW1 - they hit some dude in a car and everybody was pissed.
WW2 - everybody was sick of paying for WW1
Easy!
Idk if that’s really why WWII started…

I guess so. I think it was mostly Germany tired of paying for WWI tho lol
Or they aren’t as oblivious as their children want to think. They’re just proof that you only have to scratch a liberal to make a fascist bleed.
