Holocaust? Wasn’t ‘genocide’ drastic enough anymore?

Thats some really hard BS.

How do you think is hit harder by Inflation: someone working for 50 k a year and negotiating a raise every other year or someone with 500 k on the bank?

Inflation hits the wealthy people the hardest! Not something I despise, but your claim is still complete BS.

So why do we aim for ‘close to, but below 2 %’ inflation (2nd BS claim: no one aims for 2–3 % inflation). Because it has shown to be the most efficient to reduce unemployment and force rich people and companies to actually invest. Without inflation companies would need to fire people a lot more, since they can’t lower their expenses for their workforce in a different way. And sometimes they are struggling with their productivity and can’t stay competitive in any other way. Lowering wages is not allowed in most countries.

It also forces rich people to invest. If there’s no inflation, I can just get rich and then do nothing. If the value of my money decreases 2 % each year, I need to actively participate in the economy, at least by lending my money to other companies so that they can invest in new things.

I helps. Last week ago a Neonazi was stupid enough to do the Hitler salute and has now to face the consequences.

Its news because it happened in a public setting. Neonazis are less afraid than ever to show their true face even on social media.

In comparison to other countries far right positions are far less common. The post-war generation really changed the society. For example the far right AFD has less than 15 % of public votes (compared to ~30 % in other European countries) and racism – while present – is far less common than for example in China, Russia, US or Japan.

Its not perfect, but the fact that people shouting far right phrases making national news, shows that the german society hasn’t shifted as far to the right as other countries.

The funny part is: the authorities warned him a long time ago, for example 2023 {https://www.fr.de/politik/verfassungsschutz-maximilian-krah-afd-sorgen-verfassungsschutz-china-kontakte-tbl-zr-92575131.html) and the warnings go back as far as 2019.

Poor countries you can exploit: Nepal, Kazakhstan, India, Usbekistan, etc.

I personally think the role of the soviet union in WW2 is underappreciated, too! But thats my point: soviet union, not Russia! The majority of victims in WW2 where Ukrainians, Latvians, Estonians, Poles, Belarusians and Lithuanians – the same countries now fighting Russia (except for Belarusia)!

Russia never was the good guy and Putin deserves nothing of the praise for the soviet unions role in WW2. Maybe invite the Poles, Ukrainians or Baltics insteac!

And instead stop advancing AI and other high tech? Or where should the people working in manufacturing come from?

Thats not how embassies work. Embassies aren’t a ‘you get out of jail free’ card. Hitler or Putin couldn’t just hide at an embassy and thats it.

Itt works in a way, that one state offers a second one a piece of land under its protection. That piece of land belongs to the second state as long as the first state allows it. If they want to claim it back, they have to go through a formal process.

Thats why the actions of Ecuador are unheard of: they offered Mexico a piece of their land under their protection. And then they violated it.

Israel attacked an embassy of Iran under Syria’s protection. Thats not off the limits but of course can be seen as an attack from both countries.

Okay… i should have made it more precise: attacking a foreign embassy on your own ground. Basically the idea of an embassy is that its protected by the state, in which is located and its counted as soil of the embassies state.

Here is it explained in more detail: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/02/world/europe/interpreter-israel-syria-embassy.html

Still. Raiding embassies is the worst you can do. Its basically an invasion of a foreign country. Even states like Russia do not do that.

So its fake news because he isnt a member of the green party – and actually never was an advocate of the end of nuclear energy. He was vocal about increasing the run time of nuclear reactors in the public, actually. Also, all german parties – except for the far right – were part of the process and at one point or another confirmed it. There is just no majority in Germany for nuclear power. One of the reasons is the high price (see France, which needs to subsidize their energy prices with billions each year to stay competitive), but also the problem with nuclear waste, which no one wants. Its not like in the US, where we have lot of empty space where no one is bothered.

Still, the public debate is intense, even though nuclear power was only at 5–10 %. Meanwhile in the last year alone renewables producing 4 % of the energy demand were built. And each year lost by debating, more fossil fuels are burned.

Thats straight up wrong.

1. They didn’t retire them early, but decided not to upgrade them. They where 40 years old and needed massive maintenance now.

2. Germany was highly dependent on russian gas with nuclear as well – even more, if you consider that Germany got its Uranium from Russia, too. Also Gas and Nuclear Energy fulfill a completly different function. Nuclear is not really flexible, so its a baseload source. Gas is highly flexible, which is the reason its a peak load source. Nuclear competes with renewables and a bit with coal, but not with gas.

3. No idea where you got this Fakenews, but no politican of the german greens was involved in any scandal with Russia – in fact its the opposite: they have been the most vocal anti-Russia party for years now and warned about dependence on Russia for the last decade already.

10 % would mean that more than 9 of 10 research projects need to succeed. The reality is closer to 0.5 of 10, which would require a profit of 2000 % of R&D. Rules like that would stop private funded research. Which is something we can debate, but it should be noted that this would just mean, that countries need to fund medical research, which is currently 270 billion per year, which is 20 % of the US budget. If you want to stop private medical research, you need to raise taxes – plain and simple.

Germany has drastically reduced their coal share, too. Just look at this Chart: https://www.umweltbundesamt.de/sites/default/files/medien/384/bilder/3_abb_bruttostromerzeugung-et_2023-11-24.png

In 2023 the share of coal decreased to 26.1 % of all electricity – which is close to other nations like the US with 20 % coal. In fact, per kWh germany produces on average 380 g of CO2, while the US produces 389 g, which is half of Poland’s 690 g CO2 per kWh.

I know its a meme at this point to shit on the german electricity market, but the sucess in the last 5 years is something other countries should admire, especially countries like Poland who claim to heavily invest in nuclear power, while they are in fact do nothing at all – and except for maybe France. They are 2nd to none in terms of CO2 emissions, even though they pay a hefty price for that.

Everyone reading this piece full of buzzwords and without any source and thinking ‘yeah, this seems trustworthy’, is completly delusional.

Holy shit… you are completly spinning it around. Insane…

For context: the ICJ said they aren’t allowed to rule about Russia commiting a genocide. But Ukraine has asked the court to check if Ukraine did commit a genocide in eastern Ukraine, like Russia claimed. Its Ukraine asking for this investigation.

'“In the present case, even if the Russian Federation had, in bad faith, alleged that Ukraine committed genocide and taken certain measures against it under such a pretext, which the respondent [Ukraine] contends, this would not in itself constitute a violation of obligations” under the genocide convention, the ICJ said in the ruling read out by its president, Joan Donoghue on Friday.

The ICJ, known as the World Court, said it did not have jurisdiction to rule on whether Russia’s invasion violated the Genocide Convention, or on whether Moscow’s recognition of Donetsk and Luhansk, two breakaway republics in eastern Ukraine, amounted to a breach of the convention.

But the judges said they would allow Ukraine’s request for the court to rule that there was no “credible evidence that Ukraine is committing genocide in violation of the Genocide Convention” in eastern Ukraine.’
