EPTWhat's wrong with maybenexttime's post? If your objective is to completely avoid the Nazis, then it doesn't make much sense to leave your Nazi-infested house just to walk over to your Nazi-infested neighbor's house.

He came to power through appointment by Hindenburg. Literally anyone who has read any book about the rise to power of the Nazis knows this. Getting KwarK to argue the point challenge, difficulty impossible. The point: -The Nazi party was the biggest and most popular party in Germany at the time, if they were openly advocating for the mass murder of every jew they wouldn't be, unless you believe that 1/3 of German citizens were monsters and actually wanted to kill every jew. | ||

I look forward to it being explained to you again by a variety of people. Perhaps, if you want to be the ambassador of "good faith", you should approach the most charitable interpretation of the arguments presented to you instead of moving from "The stated intent of the Nazi party was never to exterminate the jews" to "The stated intent of the Nazi party prior to 1933 was never explicitly to murder all the jews" without any kind of "Hey sorry guys the thing I said was wrong, what I actually meant was X" YOUR approach is very clearly not good faith. That said, despite your lacklustre approach I've appreciated the comments from Kwark and our resident Germans correcting you for their educational value. I don't often appreciate Kwark's posts, but he's had some solid, purely informative ones in response to you being wrong about stuff. I also have a pretty limited understanding of Nazi Germany, so the corrections are welcome. Thanks to those who contributed! | ||

Taxing employers for the use of AI is an absurd angle that'll immediately kill any homegrown innovation in the area, with a long-term impact of making Europe MORE reliant on US/China AI tech, not less. There are about a million ways of doing this so it doesn't hurt local innovation and is a broader tax on US tech, most of which are under consideration by the EU, but they all have downsides that need to be considered. It isn't an easy problem. But charging social security fees for AI usage is nuts. The "AI" I want to be "Taxed" can be bought only from US companies. Either directly or indirectly by building your own Datacenters with US technology. The datacenters are a dystopian feverdream of having bodyless slaves generated by stolen ideas... that you rent out to customers, but can only exist in a billion dollar infrastructure that will have only a malvolent oligarchy owning them. Right now it's a infinite Money powered idiocracy.. and if you "Tax" it... investors maybe kill 1/3 of the DOW and besides gas prices.. that's the only number that will make congress consider of finally taking action. Also it totlaly fits the german problem of employees directly paying for current pensioners, while german companies move jobs abroad, creating more pensioners and pay less and less for pensioners. | ||

Forgive me if I’m misremembering or misintepreting but wasn’t this tangent jumping off that discussion? No, you don't kill an idea through censorship, on the contrary you make them powerful as a taboo, "sun light" disinfects, it kills bad ideas through talking about them and proving why and how they are bad ideas. | ||

it does? because I've answered your question at least 3 times, so I guess I'll do it again. The claim is they didn't know before the war started, not deep into the war when they conquered all those countries. | ||

Yeah US technology because it's absurdly hard to start tech companies in Europe because of luddites like you and that is why your continent is stagnant and being left behind. "Computers will be so big and expensive only the 5 richest families in the world will be able to have them" moment lol | ||
