So I’m a 21 year old from Germany

When, as a people, or a nation do unprecedented crimes and evil, it rings out through history, carried by the parents and given to the children. Racism is still a topic for discussion because it's still a problem. I'm sure you understand.

You make it sound like a chore instead of a delight. Curious.

"kill switches" don't make any sense. Nobody would buy weapons knowing they had one, so you could only use it once before your export market tanks.

And why on Earth would you program weapons that deactivate upon receiving a signal? Obviously this would suck if our adversaries (who are all technically sophisticated) learned how to alt-ctrl-del our allies' equipment.

If you pay attention to the reactionaries, they always steal ideas from the left. Fake news, media bias? That's Noam Chomsky. Incels stole the idea of critical examination of gender from feminists. Racists are banning books on the theory that they target people based on their race.

That's why they're called reactionaries. They cannot organize and ideology or a movement except as an opposition to the left dragging society forward. And like anyone motivated by spite and envy, they study us closely.

If you accept someone unilaterally, your sending the message that they matter more.

I mean when everyone else is jettisoning moderation, reddit is cracking down on bots and trolls? I don't hate it.

This is so funny; I wish birds were real.

You don't need IP to know what happens when mythologies are lost. Entire languages along with libraries of stories and myths go extinct all the time.

You've got the vin diagram of haters because she's popular and successful; the bigots who resent representation; and the normies who are influenced the former two.

 
 

I've always been told that Hitler was a masterful public speaker; that his support can largely be explained by his compelling, if not mesmerizing hold on crowds. This narrative is not common, it's universal.

Sometimes I think this is emphasized over how much the crowds approved of the content of his speech.

How do native German speakers feel when they view footage of Hitler? Do you think the reputation is earned?
