I understand why they did what they did and it makes me think of how db0 and other admins are saying fuck all and taking a very big liability for making and supporting a free internet and i want to say all the work you do is very much appreciated. Also shoutout to lemmy.ml admins for running a similar community on their own .

Links for supporting the db0 server and do consider donating as it is running behind on expenses.

I'd imagine that most worked for Nazi Germany under the threat of death or imprisonment

Certainly not these 1600 of the upper eschelon. Probably a few, sure, but most? Of these 1600 that the US went out of its way to save and coddle? Nah, the ones who had no choice were working class folks and even then not nearly most, the rest chose it. Especially those 1600. Not to mention nazi medical experiments did not yield anything of value that wouldn't have been obtained another way. They learned only how to inflict great suffering.

I find your example invalid

But lets pretend I don't. Let's pretend they DID make important discoveries that have saved millions of lives? No! What the fuck? No of course not!

I don't even understand your point here. I specifically don't respect these positions of power and the people who occupy them and use them to exploit others? That was what my post was ABOUT?

What are you talking about????
