Their refund policy is due to getting slapped around in EU courts, not because valve is benevolent or anything. I do like steam a lot, but it is a near monopoly which acts as DRM to a degree. They did and would abuse that power unless regulated.

How do the numbers change if you start with January?

They love Israel, because Israel kills the people they hate even more than Jews in modern Germany: Muslims and "brown people" as it were. That's all there's to it. Enemy of my enemy and everything. Their whole platform is about stopping immigration and deporting foreigners.

You mean the two month stock market dip which has since not only recovered but the market following has heavily outperformed anything before 2020 and was fully abused by those in power who used their insider information on the COVID pandemic to trade just before the dip hit the markets? That stock market crash? I mean, I bet. Those 2 months are totally going to skew the numbers.

Can't properly access nsfw with the browser unless you go to old.reddit.com which is a bit bad on mobile and might be shut down eventually.

They know how to target their core audience. Bet you this is the issue here, too

Does Matrix have video calls by now?

It's not a half truth, it's a full truth. Doesn't mean your statements are untrue or mutually exclusive. There were certainly Nazis being used and recruited directly into other services on the end of the allies, no doubt. US rocket development is a great example on that.

But I am talking about the majority of just the basic German administration, public, medical, engineering and civil servants, and just the people in general. That's hundreds of thousands of jobs and structures that simply couldn't be replaced but also wasn't filled with the brightest and smartest super suited to the things you're talking about. It wasn't just the SS and top brass that were Nazis. It went through and through the entire society. And you really cannot simply throw these kinds of people in jail without having replacements ready. Up to 45 million Germans were part of Nazi organizations and thus affiliated with the ruling party that had been overthrown.

There were simply too many, so prosecution was deemed impossible at scale. It's a really interesting process, but the allies tried, but it lead to problems

One of the greatest failures of both past and current administrations. The reason a majority of Nazis weren't put on trial was simply: If they had, every single structure would have fallen apart, because they were in every level of administration, etc. There simply - from the perspective of the allies - weren't any people that could replace these structures adequately. So they didn't pursue. Same with the 2008 financial crisis. A single banker got charged. Why? Because they would have had to fully dismantle every established system to really root out the people responsible, because they're so interconnected. Stabilizing the shit ass system was a priority over seeking justice.

It always will be, if the infestation just spreads far and deep enough. Which is becoming a real concern again.

Saw a right wing outlet do an interview with Sellner, the main speaker at that event yesterday.

Typical right wing nonsense.

"Immigrants who are extremist and do not integrate must leave! But only in the confines of the existing legal framework, or the way we can adjust it!"

The issue is and has always been: how do you send someone back if you do not know where back is? They destroy their papers, lie about who they are and now what? They address this by not addressing it as hr says, those that do that must be expelled from Germany. WHERE TO, MOTHERFUCKER?

And that's where the issue comes up. They are discussing setting up an "example state" somewhere in Africa where they can just deport anyone to. Even cheekily mentioned that those that wish to help immigrants can go and do that in that state.

WHAT STATE YOU FUCKWIT? Where will this be set up without massively violating some States sovereignty?

They don't need to have or display practical solutions, since it is all dog whistles anyway. Their cesspool voter base knows that this means camps and deportation into said camps, no matter where they are.

Love the cunt banging on about how economic migrants are bad and yet somehow they want to help the countries of origin by stopping their brain drain towards Germany, all in a time where our replacement levels and thus support for elderly are impossible without migration.

These racist fucks always sing the same tunes.
