Dedollarization would happen.

It will be painful for countries which are vulnerable and ill prepared.

I honestly think there's a good chance it will happen soon. Trump is speed running "how to dismantle the US power and influence in one presidential term".

I am convinced he is a total Putin puppet and the only reason it doesn't always seem that way, is to be able to deny those allegations.

I haven't been beaten in an argument.

You are trying to lecture people on a historical genocide while whitewashing and denying a genocide that is happening before our very eyes.

That is truly sickening and not healthy. And it actually hurts people who are now dying and starving.

And you're a Nazi, just against brown people instead of Jews.

Same shit, different victims.

I didn't say that Holocaust wasn't that bad, that's you being racist.

Go up three comments to read the full context. Like a normal human.

Dude, I never said the Holocaust ain't bad.

You're just a racist projecting your beliefs on others

I have chatbots with better reading comprehension than this.

Don't cherry pick and misquote dude.

This whole discussion is in the context that, in Germany and the Western world, the Holocaust is positioned as the worst thing that ever happened. And the Nazi's as uniquely evil.

That's the propaganda we are arguing against.

Did I say the slave trade was an industrial genocide?

You are cherry picking parameters to try and make the Holocaust some kind of unique tier of atrocity.

In the same time frame 20 million Slavs died.

On certain islands in the Caribbean, 100% of the native population was murdered and displaced, which is more than 90%.

Yes, there are certain aspects of the Holocaust that are unique, but it is not in a unique tier by itself. There are many metrics that make other atrocities worse.

Yes, there has been. Neonazi propaganda is bad, but so is Zionist propaganda

The transatlantic slave trade put 12 million people on ships from Africa to the Americas. 2 million died and 10 million lived awful lives no better than that of the Jews in concentration camps.

Once you add their descendents (we don't know the total number) we have 10s to 100s of millions of people living in work camps for 20 generations spanning 350 years.

Never has there been any compensation paid to descendants of slavery. Even today, there is still compensation paid to descendants of Holocaust victims, and the time difference between the end of slavery and the Holocaust is less than that between the Holocaust and today.

And it's not just this one. Germany more or less ignores the genocide it committed in Namibia.

Even when it comes to WW2, the focus is always on the 6 million Jews and not the 20 million Slavs. Even though Slavs are a more homogeneous ethnic group than Jews. It was just inconvenient during the cold war to see the USSR and its citizens as a victim worthy of compensation.

And then finally, this live streamed genocide in Gaza. Which in some respects is worse than the Holocaust, even if the absolute number is lower.

My grandparents were resistance fighters in WW2. They knew Jews were being picked up and sent to camps, and they saved a few from that fate, but they didn't know the truth about Auschwitz until after the war. The images were not publicly available in occupied Europe.

They were shocked. And the same is true for most Germans. The Nazi's never had popular democratic support for the war and genocide.

But in Gaza, we can all see it. It is being denied, while being live streamed. The Israeli's, Americans and the Germans can see the starving kids in Gaza and still provide popular democratic support to its continuation.

The Germans of WW2 never reached that level of moral depravity, only a few Nazi's did.

Literally Auschwitz. The pictures are the same.

It also shows, they want the hostages dead. No way the hostages survive if Hamas starves to death.

For one, we already give it away. The biggest customers of ASML are not European as it is.

Second, it will bring in billions for the European economy and it will allow ASML to better hold its leading position in the long-term, since China won't need to compete with ASML.

That's beneficial for the European economy

Third, how does it hurt us?

If the USA is gonna be a prick, then I propose we give Russia and China EUV technology in exchange for peace in Ukraine.

Bibi is hoping the hostages all die soon in a way that the blame isn't put on him.

Then he can proceed with his final solution.

Zionists really are the Nazi's of our time.

Agreed. Algorithms, bots and fake news work together to create and perpetuate harmful narratives.

I think the DMA has the right idea and it should be extended. Any platform with a large user base should be heavily regulated and controlled.

We can still have mostly unregulated and uncensored free speech on small platforms, since those aren't harmful for our democracy.

Totally agree.

It's nearly impossible in rich areas for young people to afford a family sized house and daycare.

We need to solve those problems if we want young people to have families.

And even if the Supreme Court does rule it to be illegal, the only way to remove him is through impeachment.

That ain't gonna happen.

And if it miraculously did happen, then J.D. Vance would pardon him and continue the grift, just in a little bit less obvious way.

In the land of the blind, the one eye is king.

Sure, it could be better, but it isn't better anywhere else.

You guys have your heads so far up your asses, billions of subsidies for renewables were "sabotage".

If only even more billions would have been thrown against it, surely then it would have worked.

German anti-nuclear religion is so persistent and dogmatic, I'd rather debate the Taliban on Islam.

Luckily the smart Germans are changing course, as polls continue to show.

Germany is the obvious evidence for that claim. Their once great industry is doing really bad due to high energy prices. Which is why even they are second guessing the Energiewende.

Despite insane levels of investment in renewables, they are still stuck on gas en lignite and have very high energy prices.

Merkel's bet that Russian gas could always be depended on didn't work out.
