There’s a confederate monument with a huge coward’s flag at mile marker 16 on I-24 in West Kentucky. I hate it and wish somebody would do something about it.
Oh won’t someone rid me of this racist sign?
Stochastic altruism.
This is a fine example of stochastic Shakespeare.
I don’t think that that quote ever appeared in Shakespeare.
I-40 going thru NC around I think Morganton but I may be off on my towns there is a giant traitors flag right on the edge of the Interstate. Largest I have ever seen.
Also if you are ever in SC traveling toward the coast near Hilton Head you will get the luxury of seeing these billboards.
…Sherman didn’t burn them enough.
The only thing more surprising than this monument’s existence is the fact that it took thirty years for people to actually notice and start making an issue of it.
I’m not really surprised. The text is Cyrillic, not something most Americans can read, and it says:
1st Ukrainian division
To the warriors for the freedom of UkraineNothing about the SS unit, only the dates 1943-1945 and the shield of the lion and crowns. It’s not explicit.
This just in: Nazis materialize out of thin air!
I got curious about the last statement in the article about war crimes and wanted to find information on what war crimes the division was responsible for.
According to Wikipedia there has been numerous investigations which all (as I understood it) has been unsuccessful in finding hard evidence.
Now, I’m not defending Nazis and I’m not saying this division was nice in any way or not guilty of war crimes. I’m just concluding that most things in life are not just black or white.

I wonder if any harm at all would be caused if a time traveler caused early miscarriage of every fetus that would become a Nazi or Nazi sympathizer.
Like any harm, at all. I highly doubt it. Other than losing a clear example of what not to do in life.

I mentioned this caveat.
I’m sure your ancestors at some point did bad things…
I don’t know if this would affect me, but I’m willing to not exist if it saved that many people.
If non existent even counts as harm. I’m not convinced it does.
Not every Nazi had bad children, so you’d be killing then too
Non existence is not death.
Ukraine is littered with these type of memorials.
I wonder if this is anything like the Canadian one for those who were found innocent and actually contributed against the Nazis.
They collaborated with the Nazis because the Soviets invaded and occupied the country twenty years earlier.
They both fought against the Germans and the Soviets to try to go back to having independence
