Finnish Army WW2 Heavy Tanks DOWLOAD

A Sequel of Of Great Projects about Weapons and Heavy Machinery That Used During Winter War (1939-1940) & Continuation War (1941-1944). This will Conclude The Thanks Series that by both Finland and Soviet Union during the war. it Quite Suprising that Finn Mostly using Captured Soviet Machinery not using Germans Like they Usually do with Their Medium and Light Tanks.. Disclaimer:Due Heavy Censorship Regarding Swastika Usage in Western Society, The Details of The Tanks Are Replaced With Roundel Instead of Finnish Hakaristi. Here We go.... ISU-152 The ISU-152 (Russian: Самоходная установка на базе танка ИС с орудием калибра 152мм, ИСУ-152, romanized: Samokhodnaya Ustanovka na baze tanka IS s orudiyem kalibra 152mm, meaning "IS tank based self-propelled installation with 152mm caliber gun") is a Soviet self-propelled gun developed and used during World War II. It was unofficially nicknamed Zveroboy (Russian: Зверобой; "beast killer")[1] in response to several large German tanks and guns coming into service, including Tigers and Panthers. Since the ISU-152's gun was mounted in a casemate, aiming it was awkward, and had to be done by repositioning the entire vehicle using the tracks. Therefore, it was used as mobile artillery to support more mobile infantry and armor attacks. It continued service into the 1970s and was used in several campaigns and countries.

Soviet KV-1 The Kliment Voroshilov (KV) tanks were a series of Soviet Heavy tanks, named after the Soviet defense commissar and politician Kliment Voroshilov. The KV series were known for their extremely-heavy armor protection during the early war, especially during the first year of the invasion of the Soviet Union in World War II. Almost completely immune to the 7.5 cm KwK 37 and 3.7 cm KwK 36 guns mounted on the early Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks, until better guns were developed, often the only way to defeat a KV was a point-blank shot to the rear. Prior to the invasion, about 500 of the over 22,000 tanks in Soviet service at the time were of the KV-1 type. When the KV-1 appeared, it outclassed the French Char B1, the only Heavy tank used in the world at that time. Yet, in the end, it turned out that there was little sense in producing the expensive KV tanks, as the T-34 medium tank performed better (or at least equally) in all practical respects. Later in the war, the KV series have become a base of development of the excellent Iosif Stalin tank.

+ 108 Minor Civs (City-States): [...]

= 144 Civs total

20 Major Religions: Pohakantenna (Utchwe / Shoshoni pantheon), Angakkunngurniq (Inuit pantheon), Al-Asnam (Celtic), Arianism (from Early Christianity, for Portugal), Chaldeanism (from Mesopotamia), Calvinism (Scotland), Hussitism (Poland), Tala-e-Fonua (Samoa), Jainism (Vietnam), Judaism (Basque), Zoroastrianism (Persian pantheon), Ibadiyya (Kilwa), Canaanism (Carthage), Pesedjet (Nubia/Numidia), Mwari Cult (Carib), Intiism (Incas), Tzolk'in (Mayas), Wakan Tanka (Blackfoot), Atanodjuwaja Cult (Minoans), Shaivism (from India);

Harmony / Progress / Liberty axes...

Syndicalism, Georgism, Liberalism (classical)...

Grand strategy considerations:

No Woodrow Wilson, progressive major successes in the 1910-1945 equivalent.

More long-term sustainable and successful generational pathway in the 1960s-2000 period, still leading to a slow partial ecological collapse like in the Incatena reality just about around the mid 2045-2050 period with signs of decay arising from the 2020s. So the sapient peoples are more cooperative and empowered with the people that era and won’t see as much of the managerial crisis sparks until the mid-2020s.

The global pandemic hit during the early 2000s alongside the dawn of ecological issues coming ahead (giving a slight headstart to fully figure problems coming not that far ahead), just around the time of nanotech synthetic autonomous androids emergence and a handful of alternatively successful technical progressions making them a slight bit ahead of ours on a couple fields. No mainstream autonomous governance AI service grids or really crazy Sci-fi innovations just yet, but a fair share of orphaned developments we did not have continue in this world.

A couple of benevolent worker cooperatives like Pflaumen (DEC+ZuseKG), EBM (IBM+ICL) & Utalics (Symbolics+Commodore+GNU Foundation)… continue well into the 21st century and persist as major computation players in the tech industry, averting the immediate rise of Macroware (Microsoft), Avant (Google) & Maynote (Meta) by the ill-conceived design of social medium platforms.

The Shoshoni Union never had any Wilsonian administration ever successful in taking hold of Shoshoni politics, making the current geopolitics far more sustainable and moderate. (Essentially, Theodore Roosevelt got elected in 1912 and then Charles Hughes in 1916, avoiding the full scope of Woodrow Wilson’s reach to the present day and solidifying a new progressive deal earlier instead of the Democrats’) And as a result, the interwar period is far less conservative and far stronger in successes than what we got in our reality here.

Implying a second global war somehow took place quite similar to our “World War 2” after “World War 1”, the Baby-Boomers of the early 50s oversee, adapt and create a long-term syndicalist deal that makes it an ecological-informed & longer-lasting inclusive solution. (Similar to Jakarta Method’s Soviets’ plan for economics before JFK assassination)

During the middle 1960s & entire 1970s robotics, computer networking and industrial automation become widespread sooner, allowing a class of autonomous robots to succeed as a functional force in the global market (think OGAS, Cybersyn, HECnet/DECnet, Xanadu, hacker culture…)

And as such during the 1980s, massively assisting the human workforce in sapience rights, technical equality & computation sharing (avoiding the worst of managerial staff & bureaucrats) and empowering LGBTQ+ culture far sooner. Also, droid class androids spread during the 1980s and a couple of socialite autonomous governing grid modules are created then.

During the very late 1990s & early 2000s, OpenXanadu wiki suite is created, benevolent GAI overlord is implemented as well as nanotech synthetic-class androids. And the successful exploration of outer space, deep sea waters & other planes of existence finally initiates around then.

An increasingly Luddite harmonious movement forms due to the sheer break-neck pace of technical progress only to slowly falling away due to the grid’s calculated benevolence, making sure such vast high technical stacks are facultative and mostly distributed in urban areas.

Major Shoshone innovations being shared and iterated sanely upon among cooperative agencies and government branches (think open culture, free software and transparent economics coming quite earlier on), making them super competitive compared to other civilizations;

(1910s-onwards electric cars legacy, artificial recommendation search agents, varied networking paradigms, programmers’ learning space, baked-in memory transistors, open hardware fabrication laboratories, exploration of the human mind, preservation of the elderly by memories, RadioVideoTex, Wax cylinder phonological records, 45rpm autoplay vinyls, large interactive Laserdisc disk-based storage in the 1970s, synthetic servants, smart terminal video telephones, universal basic income, generous social welfare programs, youth educational programs, nuclear fusion energy, biological engineering, cooperative lending banks widespread, rural modular decentralization ongoing, liquid democratic feedback systems, systemic benevolence, slower growth yet durable thoughtful and lasting, naturalistic pseudo-knowledge studies, affordable housing and higher education, witch coven acceptance, a tad bit less overall taxation, morphological freedoms, knowledge symbolic banks, video telephones… so some optimistic solarpunk historical background vibes.)

Cultural trends going from great sorrow and darker introspective tones in the 1910s (World War 1) to solarpunk exovert vibes with Cenozoic and syndicalist vibes in the 2010s

Asceticism being a major religious tradition across the globe, with several major religions cooperating over a creation studies’ standardized system, among other traditional matters worth investigating.

Super malls, video borrow stores, tabletop gaming clubs, both cozy & violence video games, powerful user content editors, radio communications & compatibilities, POSIX computation standards, Lisp symbolical machines, micro-districts, tribal neighbourhoods, pseudo-graphical teletypes…

Specific products being the SENA DreamVast, Sanyo 3DO, TurboFx handhelds, VoxPopuli MagnaOdysee, Kwakee, Prospero, PacoMacroLisp, PeerMicroLisp, Mirage BayaMaths, LibreTUTOR, Sifteo VMUs, LibreNova, CLADOgrams, ParadeFS, RD document type, RASS data feeds, “Olivettu” Shuffle music player, SPARC Voyager compact computer, MD physical data format, analog programmable DVR, Kien Imagineers (USD Pixar + Corel), Ninevo N128 + Vuya + 2DSi, Spline, Gachaupon Toybox, Volkcomputer, SOL-40, Ural mainframes, MetaOCEAN agents, “Olivettu” Maxima Desktop computer, “Olivettu” Asnam-V modular smartphone, XYZ media plotter, “Valens” synthetic-tier modular androids women-presenting, “Konstanz” synthetic-tier androids men-presenting, Classic Offensive, Red Eclipse, Wyatt Energy, Didaktik Compacts…

Not a utopia by any means, merely a big step-up compared to the current state of affairs on our planet here and now.

The Soviet “Flying” Tank

In the midst of the Second World War the Soviet Union was looking for any technological advantage they could get to help win the war with Nazi Germany. In 1942 aircraft designer Oleg Antonov was ordered by the Soviet Air Force to design a way to better air drop tanks to assist their paratroopers. Antonov did the best he could to make a T-60 light tank be able to survive an air drop by gliding. It was given the name Antonov A-40 Krylya Tanka (“Tank Wings”). Although a prototype was produced and tested (pictured above), the project was ultimately abandoned because the Soviet Union lacked aircraft powerful enough to carry and release such a large load at the necessary speed. The single test flight (or glide) nearly caused the aircraft towing it to stall and crash, but despite the plane being forced to drop its load, the tank managed to reach the ground safely thanks to the efforts of its test pilot Sergei Anokhin.

Sometimes, the conservative side became the feel-good vote!

Denial is unfortunate reality we see people employ often, at least for some time, but sometimes for their entire lives. It’s a strategy people use that feels comforting, and it is easy to fall back onto, at least until circumstances force us to wake up. However, when it has to do with certain political issues, surrounding issues that are far removed from us, we can spend decades or even our lifetimes in denial of the reality of them, since they are issues that often don’t impact us directly.

Now, I’ve definitely seen both sides employ denial, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone not guilty of it. However, over the past few decades, and more and more in recent years, I’ve seen US conservatives use it.

Now, I’m not trying to dismiss conservatism as an ideology-which actually has a lot of elements that I like, but more on that later.

Here’s a case in point showing why I believe the brand of conservatism we’ve seen of the past 30 or 40 years has, more and more, shown denial of the difficult truths of the circumstances many people live under, even some fairly noticeable ones, such as human-made climate change causing natural disasters, the toll on civilians of our wars in the Middle East, rather than it being a war mostly devastating terrorists alone, and the true level of poverty in the United States. These are often issues that do not affect us directly, or at least in the case of poverty, that do not affect those of us who have never lived under it.

A book was put out by a prominent conservative commentator in 2004 that defended the internment of tens of thousands of Japanese Americans during WWII and stated that the historical record and commonly held belief we had surrounding it was false. Mind you, this action by our government was seen as so horrific that monetary reparations were later paid to the descendents of these internees. What happened was a forcing of masses of people away (from their friends and everything they knew) into internment camps with perfect strangers. The fact alone that they were forced to relocate to these camps for the duration of the war, away from friends, family, and most employment opportunity, should be enough to be horrified by regardless of conditions at the camp. The fact alone that tens of thousands of people were forced to leave their homes is enough. Furthermore, it’s also agreed on by historians that the conditions of these camps tended to be poor (when you look at it, it’s expensive to house thousands of people, especially for years on end, so it’s hard to see them devoting enough resources for those people to be able to live comfortably. More on living conditions later from this author.)

The thesis of the book is: that the forced internment of thousands of people was acceptable because our national security called for it. What you can gather from this book, and I’ll give you a sampling of what the author wrote, is that the author agrees that these masses of people were forced to leave their homes to move to another part of the country, and it was a very difficult thing to do but supports it anyway:

“Ethnic Japanese forced to leave the West Coast of the United States and relocate outside of prescribed military zones after the Pearl Harbor attack endured a heavy burden, but they were not the only ones who suffered and sacrificed.”

Notice how even the author admits it was a heavy burden yet goes on to support doing it?

“The central thesis of this book is that the national security measures taken during World War II were justifiable, given what was known and not known at the time.”

Her argument was that it was required to protect lives. In the book she states,

““I start from a politically incorrect premise: In a time of war, the survival of the nation comes first. Civil liberties are not sacrosanct. The “unalienable rights” that our Founding Fathers articulated in the Declaration of Independence do not appear in random order: Liberty and the pursuit of happiness cannot be secured and protected without securing and protecting life first.”

“No one was exempt from the hardships of World War II, which demanded a wide range of civil liberties sacrifices on the part of citizen and noncitizen, majority and minority alike.”

I don’t believe it was even a desperate circumstance. I don’t believe that there were enough among the Japanese among us at the time who caused a large threat in the first place. Oh, and I’ll save for the fact that I’m sure the Japanese government would have been shrewd enough to plant spies in our nation if they planned on attacking Pearl Harbor. They may even have planned a few assassinations. Still, was it such a large threat, enough to justify even drastic action? While it’s possible they would have attempted violent acts of terror, it seems very unlikely, since large scale military victories are usually what are sought in war. Overall, such outcomes are small compared to the price paid by these tens of thousands of people forced into these centers for years. I think it was based on fear and not fact.

The simple fact that this author, Michelle Malkin who until 2020 was a widely read columnist and Fox News contributor, thought this was morally justified is morally bankrupt. What’s even more shocking is that this book was published in 2004, and it was until 2020 that Michelle Malkin was discredited. It took 16 years, and that didn’t happen until she openly praised an open anti-Semite and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and some openly racist groups like the Groypers (source here). In addition, the book was well-received by a number of people: it gets 4.3 out of 5 stars on Amazon (a biased sampling of course, since it’s her fans who read it, but how can anyone enjoy that?).

Apparently, it’s not enough to publish a book arguing that forcing tens of thousands of people away from their friends and everything they know, into boring, uncomfortable, internment camps lacking so many of the things we take for granted (privacy, being able to cook our own meals, a variety of employment or employment at all), and with perfect strangers, is somehow acceptable, especially when it wasn’t really worth the protection it supposedly provided. That won’t get you discredited. The Right did not have the courage or the spine to remove people from it’s who both support and deny the existence of serious cruelty. It wouldn’t be far from having liberals refusing to acknowledge the atrocities committed by the Soviet Union.

I’m sure the biggest reason they didn’t was pride and group affiliation. It can feel a bit humbling to admit one of your members is guilty of something, but it can be done. When Ann Coulter joked that some 9/11 widows had enjoyed their husbands’ deaths after getting media coverage for their views on 9/11, conservative commentators like Bernard Goldberg, a regular Fox contributor, mentioned how vile her comments were and how she had a tendency to take things too far, and Bill O’Reilly said something about it too. However it also had to do with the lack of compassion shown. Our compassion should tell us everything that was wrong with how the Japanese living here were forced away from everything they knew and loved and make sure people don’t adopt attitudes of indifference to serious abuse.

Here’s most important reason why I bet she wasn’t disowned though: frankly, that kind of denial of the genuine hardships experienced by people, more and more became an occurrence that wasn’t uncommon on the Right. In this case, it wasn’t denial of the fact that it happened (she admits they were evacuated and kept there), it’s denial of just what an awful event it was, and how unjustifiable it was. There is even rationalization at play by means of saying that the Japanese-American internees lived in nice conditions.

“Inside, Santa Fe internees built a small golf course, two tennis courts, and four baseball diamonds. The Santa Fe-shisha Tanka Poetry Club met regularly, and camp residents attended Kabuki performances held in an outdoor theater. 25 Fort Missoula, Montana, was surrounded by twenty-four hundred feet of chain-link fence topped by barbed wire. Inside, the camp were barracks, a hospital, school, library, bakery, two-winged mess hall, and a recreation hall built of lodgepole pine that seated more than eight hundred.”

Remember how Todd Akin said that, “If it’s legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down”. It’s obviously false, rape victims get pregnant with a child they didn’t choose all the time. Why was it said? To give us the false sense of security that getting stuck with an unwanted child you didn’t ask for is very, very unlikely. Sorry, it isn’t. Oh, and I am not making any stance on abortion, for the purposes of this article, but whether you support or are against abortion, you have to accept that getting stuck with a child you in no way asked for is a serious hardship that’s not all that rare.

It’s the Right that’s long denied that humans have caused climate change which has already caused deadly natural disasters.

You can find in fact many of conservative articles claiming that the poverty rate is America is actually zero when you factor in government assistance. Google it. Oh, and only by living in New York City I can tell you it’s not true: walk through Manhattan and in some parts you see at least one if not more homeless people on every block. Homelessness has always been a problem there and has grown worse during the COVID-19 epidemic.

See the pattern?

Denial is a common psychological reaction to bad news, which is blocking it out. It’s actually one of the stages of grief. We have to get past it, or we show a lack of spine and compassion.

I wrote on how conservatives in the United States in recent decades have often denied the difficult circumstances of many. Take a look, links here, and here.
