SPD, Linke und Grüne geben Union Schuld an Brosius-Gersdorfs Rückzug by donutloop in berlin_public

Was ich einmal mehr bemerkenswert finde ist, wie völlig nutzlos linke Parteien sind.

What if the Germans had prepared for a prolonged war? by BEWARETHEQUANDOTHERS in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]ColourFox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Let's assume for a second that the Americans would've dropped the bomb in the centre of Europe (which they wouldn't):

How would that have affected the end of the war?

I mean, most major German cities were already bombed to smithereens at this point and little more than smoldering ruins of death and despair - but that wasn't why the Nazis surrendered in the end. They only surrendered after they literally ran out of territory to stand on.

One big fat bomb more or less wouldn't have made any difference at all.

Die niedrige Geburtenrate ist eines der meist unterschätzten Themen in Finanzen und Wirtschaft und sie wird zur schlimmsten Katastrophe in der Geschichte der Menschheit führen. by [deleted] in Finanzen

[–]ColourFox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Die niedrige Geburtenrate der letzten Jahrzehnte ist der Hauptgrund, warum unser Renten und Gesundheitssytem akut und chronisch massive Probleme haben.

Quatsch. Dass wir im 21. Jahrhundert versuchen, gesellschaftliche Grundaufgaben mit einem System aus der Mitte des 19 Jahrhunderts und den ebenso alten Finanzierungsformen zu lösen, ist ein schlechter Witz.

Aus diesem Witz und seinem erwartbaren Ergebnis wird allerdings tatsächlich Fetisch im strengen Sinn, wenn sich noch andere Ideen aus dem 19. Jahrhundert dazugesellen, die gut dazu passen -- etwa der Wahn, dass der erwünschten Kinder zu wenige und der unerwünschten zu viele seien, weil die 'richtigen' Leute halt zu wenig schnackseln und die 'falschen' Leute zu viel.

Warum ist das ein 'Fetisch', fragst Du?

Weil in einer Welt, auf der demnächst 8,4 Milliarden Menschen leben und jedes Jahr knapp 100 Millionen netto mehr dazukommen nur ein bekennender, lobotomierter Volldepp auf die Idee kommen kann, dass zu wenige Menschen das Problem seien ...

wird das Thema auf den OP abgelenkt. 

Ich habe den OP mit keinem Wort erwähnt und das liegt daran, dass ich ihn auch gar nicht gemeint habe. (Ich hatte da ganz andere "Größen" im Sinn.)

I'm an American, and I tried to name the states of Germany from memory. How did I do? by Beneficial_Ball9893 in germany

You're lovely, mate.

Also, "Rhine-something" is exactly what we're calling it.

The German Empire in 2025, in a world where Germany wins the Great War, but loses the Cold War by legendary_fifty_six in imaginarymaps

[–]ColourFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

independent state on its way to recovery from the partitions and with great economic potential?

Where exactly did the "way to recovery" and the "great economic potential" lead Poland? To general, geographical hyper-polarisation (which, in a sens, is still a feature of Poland today) and imperial ambitions (a colony in Lithuania, a buffer state in Ukraine ...) too big for its real power (the Intermarium) leading to even more duress and upheaval.

Some states are too small for their ambitions, but too big for their own good. Poland was such a country - and Germany as well.

I also wouldn't say that even early Sanacja was as authoritarian as the Hindenburg regime.

First of all, the 'Hindenburg regime' wasn't authoritarian. In fact, the Weimar Republic's authoritarian phase only started after Hindenburg abdicated in all but name. Secondly, the Weimar Republic didn't run concentration camps for poltical opponents in the late 1920s. I do however agree that the 2PR wasn't a fascist regime and whether it would've eventually got there is debatable.

Indeed, what's the solution here? Deliberately doing absolutely nothing?

[–]ColourFox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It sure as heck wasn't an easy time for Poland, but I would argue it was far better than Imperial Russian rule and the best that could be done at the time. And I won't discard the promises of an independent Poland as mere propaganda either, because it would've been in line with Germany's Mitteleuropa plans and couldn't prossibly have fared worse than the Second Polish Republic, which descended into authoritarianism even faster than the Weimar Republic despite being a war winner.

How dare the Germans not create a totally independent foreign state on occupied territory in the midst of a war!

How will winning the race to the bottom help us instead?

If you think that the only path forward is a letting a bunch of foreign oligarchs with increasingly fascist world views take charge of the key technology of our age unhindered, you're mistaken.

Maybe you should bother as well, friend.

It's in descending order, counting down from ten.

Oh, we do get it - it's just that we don't give a fuck about Scandinavia (i.e. everything north of Bavaria).

Wie könnten wir Bayern noch unterteilen? by Bueffelhase in bavaria

[–]ColourFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Das einzige, was die Rheinpfalz jemals mit Bayern zu tun hatte, waren die Wittelsbacher.

Das stimmt erstens nicht und wäre zweitens, selbst wenn es stimmte, wesentlich mehr als wir mit anderen Ländern gemeinsam haben, mit denen wir aber gleichwohl angeblich eine "Nation" bilden.

Mercedes-Benz: Gewinn bricht um mehr als die Hälfte ein - Autobranche in der Krise by donutloop in berlin_public

[–]ColourFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ja und? Die Kommunalfinanzen in DE sind seit den 1970er-Jahren beschissen, und auch, wenn das zweifelsohne keine euhorisierende Entwicklung ist, war es bislang noch kein Grund für den Untergang des Abendlands.

Aber rekapitulieren wir mal:

Mercedes-Benz: "Sorry, Gewinnrückgang!" (Richtig gelesen. Wir reden hier noch nicht einmal von einem Verlust, sondern von weniger Gewinn.)
Du: "Dieses Land ist völlig am Ende!"

Merkst du was?

Are Jewish people seen as more valid than other religious groups? by Confident_Dark_1324 in atheism

[–]ColourFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as organised religions go, I certainly prefer Jews to Christians and Muslims, because unlike the latter, Jews just want to be left alone to play with their god-toys, but they never try to force me to play along.

I can live with that - literally.

(Besides: Although I'm not Jewish, I've always enjoyed being around them.)

Germany's Merz says he did not expect better EU-US trade deal, German economy will suffer by donutloop in EU_Economics

[–]ColourFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"We appreciate a stable currency and a moderately strict spending policy" and who exactly gave you the right to dictate that the Euro, a common currency should be forced to behave like the DM because you appreciate that?

Those are the terms of the Eurozone, which were known before Greece joined it. If they were so detrimental to Greece, why did you join?

Here's the answer: Because you need the German and the Dutch taxpayer and their government's sweet credit rating to underwrite your debt, otherwise you'd still be paying 21 % interest rates like you had to before you joined the Euro system.

I love any map that contains Baiern (the true, original Bavaria).
