After a couple of sociologic-styled prefaces to lies and lying, "Anon 2" gets to first serious lie:
<blockquote>"And yet Germany, the eternal bully of Europe, has tried to impose its will on the Slavs for at least 1200 years, knowing perfectly well it could not win this battle if only because of the enormous disparity in the numbers."</blockquote>
For obviously, "Germany the eternal bully...," is plain, moronic lie, and as a collective entity, doesn't really have a "will" as individuals do. And if one speaks of foreign policy, then it might refer to other "Slavic" nations, but surely not on Slavs as whole. And collective entities also cannot "know perfectly well." So this is quite idiotic passage. But wait, there's more.
<blockquote>"Hitler’s was the last desperate attempt to impose the German will on the Slavs,...."</blockquote> And above quote is just more of the Jew-friendly, Jew-serving lying, for note Hitler and Germany were attacked by France, UK, and Poland. Of course, Jews will lie, as always, saying it was Poland which was attacked, but actually Poland was encroaching upon and harassing the German city of Danzig, over which Poles had threatened Germany w. war if Danzig was not given to Poland. These encroachments by Poland are well documented and described in David Hoggan's "The Forced War."
UK, largely a Germanic nation itself, encouraged Polish aggression against Danzig and Germany by means of the offensive alliance of March, 1939. So these idiot lies and lying by "anon 2" really are quite brainless.
Our dear psychopath concludes his moronic lying about Germany and "Germanics" with, <blockquote>"I posit that one reason why the Germanics met such an ignominious fate is . . .they have shown extreme and unwarranted levels of aggression,...."
</blockquote> But of course, all humans live and die, the Germans no less, and they obviously haven't shown any more "levels of aggression" than anyone else, as humans are all sinners, and there's no one better than any others, etc.
So we see "anon 2" merely enters some rather typical lying and quite pointless idiocy regarding Germans and their heroic leader, Hitler, pretending thus to commenting on sociology, "levels of aggression," Aristotle, etc.

Let me get more specific. There is no question that Darwin was not completely wrong when he postulated that we are a product of evolution – in many ways we are basically smart chimps. The horrors of human history demonstrate that humanity has had a very hard time rising above the level of our fellow primates: particularly under stress we tend to be selfish (i.e., pursuing self-interest), tribal, aggressive, revengeful, lustful, territorial, and status-seeking (i.e., obsessed with who is superior and who is inferior). Aggression, specifically, both verbal and physical, seems perfectly normal, at least at this stage of our evolution. Aristotle certainly thought so. He famously said that anger was perfectly acceptable but in his virtue ethics, based on the principle of moderation, the tricky part was to know when to get angry, with whom, to what degree, etc. By his account most humans are not virtuous not because they get angry but because they are not able to express their anger with a high degree of precision.
Let me get even more specific, and apply all this to the interaction between the Germanics and the Slavs. A crucial fact about Europe which is exceedingly rarely noted is that there are 240 million Slavs and only 120 million Germanics (incl. 20 million Scandinavians). The same 2:1 ratio was probably roughly true 1000 years ago. And yet Germany, the eternal bully of Europe, has tried to impose its will on the Slavs for at least 1200 years, knowing perfectly well it could not win this battle if only because of the enormous disparity in the numbers. Hitler’s was the last desperate attempt to impose the German will on the Slavs, and of course it ended not only in defeat, but also German humiliation, just like it ended in defeat and humiliation during World War I – by 1945 Germany lost much of its territory and millions of lives. What do Germanics have to show for 1200 years of history with their vaunted emphasis on science, technology, and efficiency? The Scandinavians are confined to perhaps the worst piece of real estate in Europe, Europe’s equivalent of Alaska – Stockholm’s latitude is close to that of Anchorage. Germany is still occupied, has been reduced to a small country, and is losing 200 – 250 000 ethnic Germans a year. Nothing to write home about. The Slavs, on the other hand, have a huge population, and occupy an enormous territory from the Oder river to Vladivostok on the Pacific. Meanwhile, the German ideal of science, technology, and warfare, although widely imitated (e.g., by U.S., Japan, and others) is losing popularity. There is growing disillusionment with science and technology for many reasons, including environmental degradation, massive extinction of species, falling fertility rates, decreasing life expectancy in the U.S. (despite enormous sums spent on medical research), etc. Sabine Hossenfelder, German physicist, recently suggested that 90% of the world’s 40 000 particle physicists should be fired because they don’t contribute anything to human welfare. That kind of proposal would have been unthinkable even 50 years ago.
I posit that one reason why the Germanics met such an ignominious fate is because they didn’t understand that even though aggression is perfectly normal, following Aristotle they have shown extreme and unwarranted levels of aggression, and achieved the opposite of their goal – they were roundly defeated and humiliated, the fate that eventually befalls all bullies. A more disturbing conclusion is that because science and technology weaponize aggression to stratospheric levels, there is now a whole climate of suspicion around science and technology that didn’t exist 150 years ago when people were still starry eyed about science as capable of solving all our problems.

Random Lies And Lying On Germans By Psychopath,
