This reddit thread has lots of goodies

TIL that Gandhi wrote a letter to "every Briton" urging them to surrender to Hitler and "Let them take possession of your beautiful island, with your many beautiful buildings." : todayilearned


Some redditors getting their minds blown, some frantically trying to defend Ghandi and his idocy, and then the "yea, I thought everyone knew Ghandi was a dipshit" type of comments.

Apparently, since this made the reddit frontpage, today is national hardcore redditor vacation day. This happens once a month or so when something awkward slips past the overseers.

And what are YOU doing reading Reddit, Barry?


FWIW: If I was the resistance leader against Britain and years later Britain started getting their ass kicked by a ravenous 3rd party, I don't think it would be inconceivable for me to write a letter to all of Britain to tell them to bend over and accept their doom, the bastards.

It could have been Ghandi's way of saying "Nyaa Nyaa, Nya-nya Nyaa!"

Ah, come on guys. Reddit isn't so bad. Unsub from /r/politics and /r/atheist and it's pretty decent.

Ficking reddit, wasting my time every day, yet I continue to go there. I need traffic, yet I browse reddit, go figure.

Because karma points, makes social rejects feel like they mean something
