    As much as I dislike Windows and smartphones the current nature of the world is that that are all necessities for most people.

    Windows just has so many programs built up with it over the years and it’s really hard to convince people to jump to Linux and deal with all the compatibility problems. Things are getting better, but right now it’s like real time raytracing with how it’s perpetually 4-5 years away from being realistic.

    Smartphones are an absolute necessity for the vast majority of people. If you don’t have a laptop or some other computer your phone is likely the only way you are able to apply for jobs nowadays. It’s also the easiest way to access your banking services with plenty of banks offering online banking now. Let alone social media and how important that has become in everyday life. Sure dumb phones can handle calling, texting and voicemail but for most people that isn’t enough anymore.

    Our mental health and the demands of the modern world are at odds. I doubt we can or will ever go back to simpler technology because of the way things are in the world.

    In the European theater? Maybe on the western front you could argue that was true but absolutely not on the eastern front. The Red Army was the cause of so many rapes and warcrimes on their way to Berlin. Not to mention their occupation of Eastern Europe, setting up on puppet states and later genocide in Eastern Europe. The western front also had plenty of rape cases caused by an army passing through. Definitely better than the eastern front but still heavily impacted the regions they passed through.

    The Pacific theater is a bit of a question mark. The Japanese were absolutely awful, worse than the Nazis in quite a few ways. But from the sheer intensity of the fighting over here it is not a pleasant experience for anyone involved. Especially if you were a Japanese citizen during the island hopping campaign. There are plenty of reports of mass suicides being committed out of fear of what the US could do to them, to the US’ credit they did send interpreters to try to talk them out of it. Then there is the ethical question of the usage of the nuclear bombs, I am not going to give my opinion, this is one you must decide for yourself. The Chinese front is another complicated topic, there’s the Japanese with their brutality in things like the Rape of Nanking and there is what would be Maoist China, the Republic of China (who I don’t know enough about to make an argument on) and the USSR who is also here to complete the shit sandwich.

    The North African front I know the least about so I am not even going to discuss it.
