I've been reading George Orwell's essays and in one he says "During the years 1918-33 you were hooted at in left-wing circles if you suggested that Germany bore even a fraction of responsibility for the war." This is an outlandish accusation; is there any proof of this?

Well, whoa... Firstly I did not write "citizen" in this thread. Second, you are like all Americans on the Internet, you believe everyone you speak to is in your country. ALMOST as if you believed there is no world outside your country. Sigh.

I don't live in your particular shithole of a country. I live in another shithole. And truly, you might know the law. You might know there is no law allowing the IRS to take income tax from you. But that won't save you if they come to your home and do as they please to you.

But yeah, IT SHOULD BE LIKE THAT. Because that's how things work well. But fine, talk about lofty ideals and absolutes all you want while you try to argue from your cellphone because you can't afford an actual computer.
