Very boring match. I have nothing to say in regards to it. I have attatched below my review of Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Batallion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland, along with Dylan's reply to it, as I have much to say regarding that topic, and I believe it is of much more significance. I would be interested in hearing the thoughts of @freddie, as he seems like a sensible person and I generally enjoy hearing his viewpoints. Thank you for your time.

So you can bring up the Holocaust and be alright but when I do it tlb says it's "too far"

Harris@harris27 Jun 2026

@elz This is a similar point I was making in my first paragraph, the Holocaust occupies a unique space in culture as it's difficult to differentiate ourselves from. Any reference to Rwanda or Cambodia or Bangladesh or wherever else we take no issue with, as from a western perspective it seems so foreign that there's no commonality between the events in those nations and what happens in the west. With the Holocaust this is unavoidable, this was Germany under a century ago, and rather than address

@harris ... the fact that the issues we ignore in 3rd world nations also happen in the west, we cover our eyes and ears and pretend that it was some wild one off event that is without precident in global history.

Very interesting review and reply! I believe that Thomas Tuchel starting Jarrel Quansah is a 'unique evil'.

@freddie I am inclined to agree with you Freddie. I believe it was a truly foolish decision.

@freddie I am of a firm mind that you are right, Freddie.

What if instead of ordinary men: reserve police battalion 101 it was Australian men: reserve police battalion 101

Harris@harris27 Jun 2026

@isaac_lumley I believe it would likely reflect very poorly on Australian history had they sent a volunteer police batallion to Poland during the 2nd world war in order to aid in a genocide. It would also reflect poorly on the entirety of the commonwealth given their diplomatic and cultural ties were much closer during the 1940's than in present day.
