"43 Mailmen Fight The Germans" | Kip Reacts to The Fat Electrician

[@johnraftery4891]

Officer: You haven’t even been there an hour, what do you mean you need backup? SS troops: You’re never going to believe this Sir, but the mail men seem to be going postal on us.

[@woaddragon]

Good one

Scariest unit t-shirt I ever saw in the Marine Corps was “Postal Marine”. This was in the late 90’s when going postal was coined for all the mailman shooting people.

Fire fighters fighting with fire is the worst conundrum of this story.

So the reason that you can't go through other people's mail is that the post office is part of the federal government. And until the piece of mail is opened by the intended recipient then it is considered to be in the custody of the government and people need to trust that it will get to where it is supposed to go.

[@danielseelye6005]

There's a reason the Postal Service is in Article 1 of the Constitution.

[@jarrettatkins3062]

The neet thing is unless changes were made this also extends to private mail services inside the United States border.

[@grantharriman284]

@@jarrettatkins3062 From what I can find that is not the case. Mail tampering is specifically USPS. People have charged it as mail tampering, but it generally either doesn't get convicted or gets struck down on appeal.

[@Kez_DXX]

​​@@grantharriman284oh thank fuck! Someone ordered something for one of my neighbors but they got dislexic with the address number. Amazon dropped it off at my porch because that address didn't exist and my house number was the closest numerically to the delivery address. This issue was further exacerbated by the fact that the name on the address was "the [Surname]s" which would have been easy to figure out in a small community but not so easy when it's a city. We did figure out that the numbers got flipped and handed it off to the proper recipient, but I was very worried for two or three days that I would be looking at a felony charge for the fuckups of others.

Fun fact not covered in US schools: the Polish got invaded by both the Soviets and the Nazis as part of the Molotov-Ribentrop pact. Poland held out for the same amount of time as the French and British did, 6 weeks.

[@KipReacts]

US Public Schooling glosses over so many important things like this that really should be taught. It's wild.

[@dangarrett8676]

@KipReacts I get it. It just bothers me when some teachers make it seem like they didn't cover something because there was nothing more to cover, which seemed common outside the AP or college in high-school classes.

[@mr44mag]

@@dangarrett8676 It's not surprising considering who owns the publishing companies for US school textbooks. Macmillan was originally Scottish, but got bought out by Holtzbrink.

Fun U.S.M.C. fact. In the 1920's mobsters were robbing mail carriers. One big robbery of 4 mil, and estimated another 6 mil as people would send cash in the mail. So the asked, and Marines with trench guns, 1911's and Springfields escorted mail carriers. For some reason the theft stopped.

[@nathanallen4509]

Fun fact, in the US a vehicle made in 1997 is old enough to be registered with the DMV as a classic

[@KipReacts]

That hurts...

[@Critter68]

​@KipReacts, I'm not sure how it works in other states, but here in Missouri, if you get historical plates on a vehicle 25 years or older, you never have to have it safety or emissions inspected again for as long as you own it. Technically, you're not supposed to drive it more than 1000 miles a year, and only to and from "exhibitions" or "repair facilities". But you're not gonna get busted for that unless you're already doing other illegal things

[@DavidStruveDesigns]

I often get that realization that my view on history is totally warped when I hear facts like "Cleopatra lived closer to the time of Jesus and the Moon landing than the building of the Pyramids, which were already two thousand years old by her time". Or my favourite that the Mayan civilization was around at the same time as Oxford University. That sort of thing always messes with my head lol 😂

i would risk saying that Texas was designed based on Poland as pl was established in 966 AD.

Well ... Texas was an independent republic at some point ... before it was absorbed into America due to financial reasons. I think 🤔

Ironically Poles LOVE cowboys. I worked with some J-1s (students with work visas who come to the US for seasonal work) from Poland and they all loved the wild west and Cowboys. Every vacation they had they traveled around visiting ghost towns and historic places. I can't tell you how may left with cowboy hats, big belt buckles and cowboy boots... lol

If one side doesn’t respect the rules of engagement, etc. Metaphorically, break every rule.

[@RaderizDorret]

A common theme in WWII: the Germans had some nasty tricks up their sleeves, but they could NOT sustain long campaigns. Their entire model was "initiate a sharp and powerful attack with maximum surprise and force the enemy leadership to panic and surrender". In real terms, if France had kept fighting after Paris fell, then the Germans wouldn't have lost the war shortly afterward as their economy was in total collapse and only their conquests could prop things up for a time.

No one respects or cares about the articles of war Kip. You ask grunts about certain rules of engagements or laws made by the global conventions for the article of war, they'll just look at you blankly. I've talked with guys who've gotten out of service recently, friends and family that have been serving out in the East, and they've done things that just aren't legal or even moral. All I'm going to divulge is that my brother in laws unit's Doc got hit, and they wiped out small settlement that the combatants were a.

[@jeffreyhallam5517]

Okay. No. You talked about this in a previous video. “I don’t touch anything past 2001” “I only want to deal with things that are history and not politics” This is a very irksome and alarming stance. I understand not wanting to get into conflict but this reasoning is flawed. We deal with the aftermath of millennia old political maneuvering form the Roman times everyday. There is a war in Israel right now that is the product of millennia old land disputes. Again, right now. We are a continuation of history. My great grandfather was a surveyor on the Panama Canal. His great grandparents were among the first to settle Salt Lake City on a wagon train. I am 7th generation Californian. My family was the first to bring Shakespearean acting back to America after the revolutionary war. The people of history are our family. Our ancestors. Hilary Clinton, Donald trump, Joe Biden are not some mystical figure shrouded in the great political vale. We are a free people and we discuss things. Censorship is wrong and KZbin is wrong for embracing it.

[@KipReacts]

I can only do so much. I have had lengthy conversations with friends I have in the education field and anything past 2001 becomes current events and enters the field of sociology rather than history. I've seen so many creators that people have attempted to cancel, have been canceled, or outright lost their platform for dealing with politics and while I'm burnt out I rather enjoy what I do. I'm also a VTuber, and being such many people are critical of me by that merit alone. Add to that I'm a male VTuber and I become a niche of a niche. I can have hard conversations, and I have many times on stream, ultimately I'm here to bring what positivity and enjoyment I can to people. This is representative of my most popular videos being comedic and funny while my serious ones get a fraction of the engagement. KZbin and Twitch, especially advertisers, do not take kindly to fanning the flames of conflict. For all intents and purposes I'm not a political channel or entity and I feel that I reserve the right to distance myself from discussion on events after 2001 unless its with friends and people I feel comfortable with. Too often have I had discussions with people I haven't really known and it devolves into confirmation bias arguments and hurling insults. You bring up valid points, especially in regard to KZbin and Twitch being entities engaging in certain behaviors. I'm not willing to dive into current events or modern politics because I've seen the adverse effects it has on people and channels. I'm just here to learn interesting things and have a good time, hopefully helping people learn new things or laugh in the process.

[@nanaya7e433]

This is the first time I've seen someone get offended at someone else for not wanting to engage in discussion on recent events. Shows that you just can't win with people.
