Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Oh Hitler did that first. The entire reason he was doing lebensraum and "reclaiming" German territories was to steal money to keep the government functioning and build the German military. It's kind of wild. He probably could have told the world to stick their war reparations where the sun don't shine and managed some sort of functional government. But nope he went full meth head instead. Which is probably uh because he was one.
