  • the Ford plant doesn’t disprove that US firms collaborated with the nazis or that the US government protected them, just that this specific factory wasn’t specifically protected from getting bombed. other US-owned factories were bombed, so it’s a reasonable conclusion. But those that were bombed got paid fucking damages by the US government & didn’t get any punishment! That’s the smoking gun!

    But going further into the meaning & implications of US industrial collaboration with the Nazis, i think most people are just misaligned in temperament, not the basic facts. i’m personally more inclined to characterize yankee capital’s nazi interests as ‘not that deep’, because if you use much stronger rhetoric people start drawing absurd conclusions about the US being on the nazi’s ‘side’. however invested US firms were in germany, they were not powerful or enmeshed enough to change US policy that favored Anglo-French ties and a belligerent stance toward the nazis. you can characterize the actual capital involved it as a ‘lot’ or a ‘little’ depending on what you compare it to, i don’t really care if it doesn’t turn into “the US secretly wanted the Nazis to win”.















  • homebrewtalk.com thread “Onion beer”

    user ‘Yooper’:

    I judged a French onion stout in a beer competition. Seriously. French onion soup stout. After it gone done gushing, the smell of onions filled the room and I had to take a sip. It was disgusting. They did get a few points for the “clone”, though- it tasted exactly like French onion soup, except cold and with beer in it. Absolutely revolting.

    See, that’s because it didn’t have the croutons and melted Gruyere.

    back to Yooper

    Well, that was the beauty of it. I think it did. It tasted exactly like a bowl of French onion soup, except with beer and cold and carbonated. It gushed like a volcano when opened, and I ran to the sink (we were in a house, judging in one area of the great room), and the whole area smelled of it. And lord help me, I said, “I think this bottle has an infection” and I had the steward bring the second bottle. And repeated the experience before forcing myself to pour what we left into some glasses (two or three other judges) and those brave enough took one sip. Vile doesn’t begin to cover it. I have a cast iron stomach, and have eaten in many countries and drank many weird beverages. I can eat deep fried crickets and wash it down with masato, but I"ll be damned if I’ll ever take another sip of onion beer.

    yes this person and every other respondent said onion beer is terrible. but now i want to taste that
