In what alternative universe does a country have less geopolitical weight when they gain an modernized army and tech?

Germany hasn't had a legit shot at self-determination since WWI.


Germany has had a pretty bad last 150 years.

They lose WWI and country goes into turmoil and a Great Depression, then lose WWII, is bombed to death, country goes into another Great Depression and is overrun by communists which splits the country in half and imprisons relatives behind a wall.

Then the world won't let Germany forget WWII (unlike Japan was able to move on) so Germany becomes self-repressed and political correctness insane...invites millions of immigrants from the third world to show everyone how progressive and non-germanic centrists and delves the country into immigration chaos...while telling its citizens it's 1984 and you have no right to object.

How is the current regime less repressive than the occupying East German government except for a wall and secret murders?

Germany needs to just develop amnesia and move the frick on...like Japan did, stop living in shame and constantly apologizing like we get in the US with reparations.

Your claim that they're out to seek continental domination through force is ridiculous.

Yeah, we're really dying, life in the west really sucks. No world wars, capitalism, travel where and whenever you want to travel, stocks at record highs, incredible buying power when visiting other counties, and being able to talk and disagree about all this bullshite on a message board on our smartphones, ipads, google glass, whatever the frick they're making, in the middle of the day.

Yeah, we've done such an awful job running the west..

He's talking about western culture being destroyed by itself in the name of tolerance and militant multiculturalism. The west has become hell bent on bringing in foreigners that hate western culture and values and have no interest in assimilating, but rather taking over the west.

They have been well trained to self-hate. So much so that they are on the verge of auto genocide.

Which is extremely sad because the people that they want to bring in and champion are far inferior in pretty much every metric.

Germany just helped add 100,000 new American jobs to review all that content.



I wonder if this is related to to what the talking heads on Fox were referring when I changed to that channel a couple days ago? Changed to them at the end of a conversation they were having where they mentioned something like 3500 or 3700 current Twitter employees monitoring/reviewing the total content and plans to be hiring some 4000+.

And yes, the Fox talking heads proclaimed MAGA about this additional hiring. 100%+ departmental hiring!!

Then the OP says this:

Does not compute. You do realize that they are BANNING Nazi speech, right OP? By the way, Nazi speech has been banned in Germany since the end of WWII.

I just find it humorous that you call them Nazis for outlawing Nazi speech.

History is a bit less naive.

Give them those military tools, etc, today, why is it so far fetched to think they could leverage those tools in the future against the US if we break in agreement on key issues, down the line? Keep them toothless, and fearful of Russia plz.

I see what you're saying, fair point...

My interpretation was, why the hell does Germany think they have the right to tell US companies what is and isn't allowed on social media, on a global scale? Are they trying to whitewash the world's knowledge of Germany's barbarian acts in the 20th century? Get rid of it, or you're going to fine our companies? What the frick?

There's only one country, if any, that's allowed to do that. And it's not Germany. Their wannabe world leader shite is turning into a problem.

Jokes aside, that demonstrates how absurd it all is, doesn't it?

In Europe, the state now determines what opinions are and are not acceptable. The state tells you what you can and cannot say in public spheres.

I would not approve of cracking down on threats: people saying, "Muslims are evil, let's kill them all" -- but I could understand that.

That's not what's going to happen, though; any political opinion that deviates from European socialism will soon be outlawed. It's a terrifying prospect, IMO.

Social media sites should pull out of Germany. It's not realistic to expect them to effectively police 2 billion users.

If they try to comply, reasonable people should start reporting far left posts as hate speech.

Nazism was indeed what we would consider leftist today. These terms when they were defined were relative to bolshivism. Nazism was to the right of Lenin, but that wasn't hard to do. Hitler's social and economic policies were to the left of FDR and the new deal if that gives you any perspective. The early part of the 20th century was probably the most 'left' the world has ever been.
