Good News for People Who Like Bad News

Dear False Positive Readers,
This is Ashley Walton, Mike’s sister and editor of False Positive. I have really terrible, awful news and a tiny bit of good news.
You might have noticed it’s been a couple years since we’ve posted anything on this website. Well, brace yourself for the saddest update I’ll ever share.
Well, having actually researched the stories of German soldiers in WWII I was willing to not immediately condemn these chaps as the badguys, but that’s a right bastardly thing to do no matter who you fight for! Piss on ’em dude!
Well, these two having had 2000 years to study the ways of The Big Eye, I’d venture to say the Jerries bit a lot more than they could chew…WW II German peasants, as they told me themselves, where just as poor a backward lot as their despised Russian Moujik enemies…
(They thought American white bread was cake!)
American bread is a lot sweeter than european bread so I’m not really surprised about that one. Moved to the US from Europe 5 years ago, and still can’t eat most of the bread here because it’s too sweet 😉
Then stay away from the Eyes’
Panatony, it is BOTH bread and cake!
Here she comes to save the daaay
Nazis not bad guys ? o.o wtf ?
Not all german were nazis
I’m kind of surprised by the fact that they haven’t changed their clothes in several hundred years.Surely they’ve gone shopping once or twice. They seem to have kept up with architectural times a little.
Good point. That’s either indicative of what is actually going on in this story, or an oversight. Guess we’ll see which.
if they live in exile and it ain’t broke they don’t fix it.
the architecture is improved but not updated. they knew about construction but not a lot about tailoring?
or maybe that is sleepwear and they just woke up.
Or modern clothing is just too hot for them.
Pun intended.
Maybe those are their pajamas? I
Kid’s about to go full Artemis.
Kid’s name is Circe, I think. Reputation for turning men into pigs…. Then again, perhaps the whole Greek pantheon has turned into pigs, and these two are their protectors.
So you think the pigs are those roman soldiers, etc., so that’s why he so shocked when one was shot. Interesting. That’d be a twist.
But . . . they were killing a pig and prepping it for dinner at the beginning. Maybe they just got attached after centuries of not needing to eat them?
maybe they are some kind of Gods? I don’t know he has really stumped me on this one.. Im loving it though!
Funny that the guy seems more fazed by a German grunt shooting his pig than by a freakin’ alien monster lunging out at him from the inside of a crashed meteorite. Maybe the years have made him soft?
Pig’s brains are bigger than humans…add 2000 years, they where probably sentient and part of the family…because domestic animals are radically different from wild ones even after a short contact…as for nazis, only them survived Adolf’s radical police state…non nazis were either dead or expatriates…
Or were plotting Hitler’s death, or joined the party but had no idea what Hitler was actually doing, or were willfully ignorant.
Even if they were not sentient, the pigs have lived with them a long time and, when your immortal, I’m guessing you treasure those who have shared the years with you more than anything.
Suspense!!! I don’t do it well, alas. SUSPENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“as for nazis, only them survived Adolf’s radical police state…non nazis were either dead or expatriates…”
Yeah…sure…..so there where no resistance groups like the “Edelweiß” or simply the main masses of people just going along and living their life as best they could under these conditions. Not opposed jet not supportive of the party, whic in its best times had 4,5 million members of 73 million germans
You do not tend to think a lot, do you?
Neither where all germans – or even german soldiers – nazis, nor whre all american southerners before the civil war racistst or all British upper-classers believed in subduing every native people by colonialism.
That is not the way societys work.
I hope eating alien makes you immortal too. Because they are about to get shot.
I think that maybe the reason why he’s so shocked at the pig being killed is that they gave the leftovers (basically all the alien bits they couldn’t eat) to the pigs, a common practice during those days, Due to the fact that they all ate it not only are they (sort of) immortal, but they also have a telepathic connection to each other. Over thousands of years (notice how as their digs get nicer the pigstye does too?) they’ve gotten very attached to each other, so much so that even though he probably has forgotten that pigs are considered food rather than pets (maybe) or that he doesn’t even consider the possibility of someone killing or eating them
These are not “Nazis”, these are German soldiers of the “Wehrmacht”. Yes, sure, the Wehrmacht committed plenty of atrocities during WW II, but in what these chaps are up to, they could just as well be Russian soldiers during the aftermath of WW II, or US-American soldiers in Vietnam. I’m just saying, not every German who lived underneath Hitler was necessarily a Nazi or in the resistance. Plenty of grey to go in-between.
Indeed, Lleyn, but most people simply read/hear about a stereotype and cling to it, because its muche asier than actually trying to understand what went wrong and when/how.
A tendency I see even more often in Americans (and believe me I know a few ^^) than in other Nations citizens, probably because they still think themselves to be “the worlds good guys”.
Disclaimer: no, I do not want to lessen, in any way or form, the horrors of WW2, but as someone who has had 2 Grandparents in the Weermacht, one being a supportive Nazi back then, the other only trying to serve his country (and being “rewarded” by russian War Camp internation) I do ahve some more personal knowledge about that times.
At most 10% of the populace were what one could justifiably call Nazi, maybe another 10-15 morally questionable supporters, the rest mainly, like always, consisted of people trying to make the best out of a bad situation.
Try to remember, ell people are PEOPLE and hence not perfect. 🙂
