One myth is that whenever the Allied western democracies occupied Axis territory, they immediately overturned the regimes they found in place there and flung open the gates of the prisons and concentration camps to liberate the inmates. Not in North Africa, they didn't.

After Operation Torch (the Allied invasion of North Africa) in November 1942, the US left the Vichy French administration there intact because of the ceasefire deal that Robert Murphy (Eisenhower's adviser on political affairs) struck with Admiral Franois Darlan. It meant strict non-interference by Americans in local affairs. So GIs in Algiers stood by, watched and did nothing as Vichy policemen rounded up the Resistance fighters who, on the eve of the Allied landings, had risked their own lives to save American ones. Many of the 377 fighters were later dragged off to punishment camps in the Sahara.

Meanwhile in Morocco there were there were fascist pogroms in Casablanca (just moments after the first parade of American troops had passed by the city's Jewish quarter) and in Rabat and Sale, and new anti-Jewish measures were put in place in Meknes and Fez by the US-endorsed regime. Jews and other detainees were still rotting in slave camps in the Sahara as late as August 1943, ten months after the Allied "liberation", because the American troops who garrisoned the country didn't lift a finger to free them. Instead, it was up to de Gaulle's French National Liberation Committee to finally free Vichy detainees shortly after it took control.

I've heard similar events happened in Greece in 1944-5.

Terms like "male" and "female" when not applied for biological reasons seems to carry an element of dehumanization in the media. You can see this, for example, with how marginalized communities are treated. Men and women and so on are terms media uses for human beings while the other two are commonly used for how we describe our animal cousins.

I'd argue it's rooted in sexism as men are supposed to have as many partners as possible in our current frame of society. Any men who can't is ostracized and humiliated by his peers. Slut shamming was once like this as well until women spoke up about it.

What about homophobic women?

Internalized misogyny. Somewhat similar to internalized racism.


How does internalized misogyny present itself?

Usually, women(living in a sexist society) can internalize any and all propaganda from society. These can include what should be proper roles for males and females and so on. Homosexuals present a deviation from this norm.

at times, especially when its focused on femme gay men or really just bottoms in general

When I look back at how the ancient Greeks demonized the Persians, many of them portrayed them as feminine, which then led to art that considered them to also be some form of homosexual, so you may be right. But that, of course, is just one example.

These are left wing positions here.

Most of them, yes. There's a few that seem right wing though, especially the bolded ones:
-Frexit: Leave the EU to regain our economic, monetary and political sovereignty
-Break up media monopolies and end their interference in politics.
-Guarantee citizens liberty by including in the constitution a complete prohibition on state interference in their decisions concerning education, health and family matters
-Reindustrialize France
-Prevent migratory flows that cannot be accommodated or integrated, given the profound civilizational crisis we are experiencing

Plus, the riots apparently started in response to the "eco-friendly" gas tax, which is more of a left wing thing.

There's nothing left wing about the eu.
The second point has more to do with imperialism and racism. Most first world leftists have this problem. It's not necessarily a right wing point.

No, racism is systemically imbedded in society. It's not something that's "taught". Rather, laws were passed that advantages whites that then created racist ideas into general society when they weren't there. The children are indoctrinated into racist views long before they develop pretty much anything else given how quickly children absorb information.

I imagine a lot of it has to be the romanticization of the period through all the stories being passed down and new versions emerging year after year after year. Probably little more than a fondness developed over centuries of stories being told in regions, the people from which would take those stories with them wherever they went.

They may fall in and out of popularity at various times, but the "nostalgia," so to speak, remains.

I don't see how they could be nostalgic given how most people were serfs in feudal Europe. They'd be like me being nostalgic about colonial America when slavery was legal.

Because hand to hand combat instead of detached shooting allows for heroism

Then how come slave societies aren't as showcases as feudal societies? They had even more hand to hand than feudal times.

Because the US likes to separate slavery from its glorification of slave holding societies. For some reason.

Then what's Western Europe's excuse?

They just want an excuse to swing swords at goblins.

I don't see why they feudal atmosphere for that.

Hard to justify swords being effective if a story is set in modern times and everyone has a gun?

They could use pre-feudal Europe.

This is why I can't take liberals seriously.

You're actually THIS dense. Sex is not a social construct. Gender roles that have existed since recorded history and probably further back than that are not social constructs.

Many things on this planet exist solely as a means of sexual attraction. Beards on men are one such thing as is deeper voices. Conversely men find the higher voices of women attractive and boobs which are literally pointless(they could like most other creatures get bigger during breast feeding and shrink back to nothing after that but they don't)

Liberals don't just get to rewrite thousands of years of biology because "muh feelings" and we need to stop tolerating this crap.

I am not a liberal.
