German law declares people unpeople, big novelty clock ticks over to 1939
Thank goodness the US was able to return the Nazis to power in West Germany or the godless communists might have prevented Germany from continuing to exterminate Semitic children all these years later.
Nothing bad has ever happened from Germans getting really into classifying people, right?
Seems to be a hobby of theirs
Uhh at least IBM isn’t involved this time? I womder if they upgraded to Micr*s**t becauae the US uses their stuff for ICE
Well, at least IBM has degraded to the point where they’ll just fuck it up
IBM has some of the most advanced quantum and AI research in the US.
Then how come Watson Health got sold to a venture capital group? If it was so great why did the sell it?
IBM research spends decades doing worthless projects that never produce any value.
They had PowerPC and blew it. They had Watson a decade before OpenAI and blew that. They had dominance in mainframes and blew that because they refused to change.
They blew it multiple times on their cloud offerings to the point where Oracle has more market share by just providing a decent OpenStack offering.
They don’t have anything of value.
They have billion dollar contracts with the MIC producing systems for them, not the public. You are talking about vanity side projects.
How do you think IBM is still in business?
How do you think IBM is still in business?
I think they have captured a couple industry segments with their mainframes and made it difficult to move away. I don’t know how long that will last though
No, the genocide machine runs… Red Hat, probably

Germany never really stopped being a nazi country, did it?
I had written a thing, but then I went looking for an article and this quote basically sums up what i was saying better:
West Germany reinstated former Nazis in government and kept the same strict Nazi-era sodomy laws, which criminalized any act perceived to be homosexual, including kissing and touching. As a result, the West German government prosecuted more than 100,000 gay men between 1949 and 1969, of whom over 50,000 were convicted. About the same number of gay people were prosecuted and convicted during the Nazi dictatorship, according to Huneke.
Bonus cope in the very next sentence, emphasis mine:
East Germany, on the other hand, repealed Nazi-era laws in an effort to be perceived as anti-fascist,
unfalsifiable orthodoxy, when the reds do good things it’s only to hide their inherently bad nature, ect ect. The whole article is studded with little gems like this, including:Huneke found that during the Cold War era, communist East Germany had more lenient sodomy laws and accepted gay activists’ demands more quickly than its democratic twin.
If it’s more lenient and more responsive to the people, then how is it not the more democratic? This article is a really good example of idealism, where a clearly better material outcome must be implied to be duplicitious or tainted somehow because the “bad” guys did it. Still, it does get the facts right.
Damn, it sure sucks when people do good things. It’s so disingenuous and they’re just trying to look good. We shouldn’t do that - we should just do bad things.
Half of it did for awhile there
Oh right I admittedly tend to forget there was a wall between two things before it was so famously knocked down.
And I don’t even know why, it’s like if I somehow always forgot there was a whole pizza when I eat the last slice.
Germany never stopped being fascist it just got new targets.
never ask a german what they think about a Roma person, or what they think about a Turkish person, or what they think about a Palestinian person, or what they think about a…
Pretty sure that first one is an old target :yea:
United germany was a mistake, its should have been balkanized into many states with each their diferent dialect of germanic after world war 2.
Retvrn to tradition
impressive, very nice… let’s see the Hohenstaufens’ HRE
the best kind of medieval border-gore is when the same guy owns territories that aren’t contiguous, just everything being exclaves within exclaves on top of other exclaves
This is only a legislative map (circles) of the HRE, not a territorial one. Which used to be different things, back in the day. Each circle had an imperial court of law. Which was responsible for disputes in that circle.
They knocked the wall down from the wrong direction
It’s only spent ~107 years as a unified country and caused so much of the world’s problems. Hell the most unified was when it included Austria, which was a 100% Nazi time period. 1991 was absolutely the farce to 1871’s tragedy.
As a non-hexabearian, do you guys have every flag on fire in your macro/emoticon list?
We have quite a few
Plus some orgs
found some more

And then there’s the
, all of the LGBT+ flags, and a bunch of ones that don’t show up in the search engine because there’s just too many. Yet somehow we don’t have Norway!
Edit: if a burning Norwegian flag emoji ever gets added I want it to be called :nei-vi-hater:
we also have
Damn, Australia is particularly on fire.
Those bush fires were absolutely brutal
I thought it was a reference to that. Haha
Bruh. You doin the
and 
dirty. Ty tho.Edit: might just be my client. Still, fuck the Swiss.
The Swiss should turned into Cheese…
Sounds like a manufacturing issue.
it’s pretty amazing that for all the many, many things she was wrong about, margaret thatcher managed to be right about german reunification. or at least not-wrong. combination of staunch nationalism and having lived through the war i suppose
As if the UK is not amongst the biggest supporters of Israel lol
make no mistake - fuck the uk too. i just think it’s kind of funny that thatcher knew that the krauts could not be trusted with a unified state of their own, even if she was coming to that conclusion from a different set of priors than we are
Thats another country that should be balkanized
In one case (Northern Ireland) it’s not balkanization, but decolonization

ah statelessness. one of the most mindmelting consequences of our good-old “rules-based international order”
The international rules based order vs. what if I just don’t
Meanwhile on r/worldnews they’re getting mad a German government official was getting attacked in Palestine.
Maybe don’t declare that a group of people have no rights or protections and then go to the place where those people live and expect to be treated kindly.
Stalin shouldnt have stopped at Berlin, failing that…
…Germany folded in the wrong direction, failing that…
…The whole state should’ve been splintered back into 500 different counties constantly waging war over whose sperm lottery winner had the largest moustache and smallest codpiece
West Germany should have been reunited with East Germany instead of the other way around
I like your first point

Shut the fuck up liberal
Some bullshit law about high school statistics says we had to unperson you. Sorry, we’re just following orders. (Now where have I heard this shit before?)
A couple of years down the line, these fucks will want us to just forgive and forget. And I’d be willing to. You just need to be this based to qualify:
stalin shouldn’t have stopped at berlin
Stalin shouldn’t have been so lenient with Berlin
He had hope the capitalist allies weren’t so bloothirsty, so he conceded a lot in the hopes of peace
we know now that that is a mistaketfw stalin tried to engage his allies in good faith and was punished
Looks like it was reversed now:

Without a specific event (e.g. Israel winning the war, a treaty/ceasefire with specific wording), I don’t understand what triggered this or why this was necessary at all.
normal nazi shit from the nazi country
The Germanic brainpan yearns to persecute minorities
Just a reminder, a German politician who clapped for a documentary about the apartheid in Israel by an Israeli and Palestinian movie makers had to clarify she was only clapping for the Israeli because it upset people.
