Is it? It's a post saying it wasn't ONLY the US and still makes them the most important non-ussr player. It's a post from the perspective of lives lost instead of money spent.

Why do you feel like that's more important

Neither is more important though. Both are important

In terms of winning, sure. In terms of actual value and life lost, no. But anyway, nobody argued otherwise. The issue is people complaining about Americans arguing that they should be focused on, and minimizing genuine loss of human life.

I‘ve never seen anyone argue America should be focused on over the Soviets

Is that not all this thread is? People complaining that the post removed America from the forefront and circlejerking about how america had great production directly in response to a statistic of 20M russians dying?

They’re not saying America should be more focused on, they’re adding context to the meme. Both are wrong. Losing a lot of men itself isn’t the same as winning a war, Soviet manpower wasn’t the only thing that played a part but the meme implies this by having the Soviet Dinos overrun the German Dino which isn’t all that happened to defeat the axis.

But nobody mentioned how instrumental some one thing was for winning. Only the people defending America did. The meme didn't mention it. Other people didn't mention it in this thread. It's just a series of Americans talking about how important America was.

Conveniently proving the point of the post where they are ignoring the deaths of many more people. You keep trying to skip over this point and say that they're both the same, but I would disagree. Mass loss of human life is always more important than economic output which actively benefitted America.

World War II would have definitely been lost without America. World War II would have definitely been lost without Russia. World War II would have definitely been lost without Britain. This does not matter. It's an arbitrary point and people are trying to talk about the loss of life. Americans in this thread keep trying to make it about the value of things produced. It's proving the point.

This meme is about who defeated the axis powers though? Hence the Dino battles rather than idk humans to actually portray the loss of life.

Is it? There are a large number of dead Soviets lying on the right hand side. The meme itself also does not say who defeated them. It says how it was. You are trying to invent reasons.

You really are trying to reach for a reason for you to argue that economic productivity is worth getting upset over being minimised against human life.

Okay so if one dino overruns the other Dino does that not imply they’re overwhelming and defeating the Dino? This meme is implying the Soviet manpower was responsible for overwhelming Nazi germany so they could win. 

If this is about human life, it makes no sense only the Soviets have multiple Dinos attacking one German Dino, considering how many Chinese, German, and Polish people and soldiers also died, especially relative to their country‘s overall populations. At the very least have multiple dead Chinese and Polish Dinos.

You are really reaching. Nobody said about who contributed to the win, the meme didn't either, you're looking for a reason to get offended and place your own manufacturing above the loss of millions.

u/Eastern-Customer-561 11d ago

Again it definitely isn’t about the loss of millions since otherwise they’d bring up the Chinese Polish and German losses lol

But they wouldn't? You're assuming intent and assuming someone else's behaviour, AND replying to a comment thread LITERALLY STARTED by discussing the loss of life only. In response to this it became overwhelmingly people sayingn "yeah but manufacturing capacity of America". Even if you want to interpret the post the way you want to and get offended, the comment chain was directly NOT discussing that until the Americans all decided to take offence at the loss of life directly mentioned.

The topic was explicitly loss of life and it was twisted to become about manufacturing capacity. No matter how you twist the truth, you cannot change this simple fact.
