How do you even get to a place, as a German, where you care about the ratio of ethnic Germans to ethnic Chinese in Namibia. Like it is obviously extremely, deeply racist but at the same time it's almost difficult to perceive it as such because of how fucking irrelevant it is. What's even your concern? It's another country on another fucking continent!

Never underestimate the Euro-chud’s desire to talk down to African leadership.

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

I've heard China hasn't even given a single lecture to Namibians since they started working with them!

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

A worldview with 0 explanatory power that teaches them that they are the best inherently but any quick glance at reality will quickly prove that wrong. They need to look somewhere, anywhere, no matter how minor or irrelevant for something that they can twist into "proof" that their enemies are still the bad guys and they are still the good guys.

The Germans literally committed a genocide in Namibia (the Herero)

It's a very brutal one.

[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 59 points 1 day ago

It's fucked going to German history classes for 10 years but then learning about the Herero genocide from Pynchon.

[-] CocteauChameleons@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

And they never recognized it until very recently

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 104 points 2 days ago

i mean, there are ~20 times as many chinese nationals as there are german nationals on earth, so you ask me, germans are statistically overrepresented.

See also: Military spending

People freak out that China spends a lot on the military even though it’s still a lot less than the US spends, when if we’re using the US as a line for what’s reasonable China could justifiably spend 4 times as much as the US does on their military.

One day, when I have the time and the willpower to write it all out, I will regale hexbear with the story of the time I got into a geopolitical discussion with a young American, liberal, politics post-grad whilst I was in Oaxaca. I've refrained from mentioning it ever because it was a greatest hits of liberal brain worms and it hurts my soul to recall it. Nevertheless, China was one of the topics of discussion and she expressed her great disapproval of the size of China's armed forces. This was at the tail end of our discussion and I had lost my patience at this point so I had to point out that any country would be wise to maintain a large army with the great monster that is the United States looming over the border, listed a bunch of conflicts that the US had instigated in my lifetime, until I was blue in the face, and then ended the conversation.

Anyway, fuck that smug, chauvinistic lib.

Western political scientists explain this one as the idea that the ideal miilitary power to have is more than everyone else. By this logic, there is no amount that is ever "enough" military spending, and any gain in military power by any other country is a threat to yours.

[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 27 points 1 day ago

I'd really love to dig up Kautsky and ask him how his peaceful Ultraimperialism is going.

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 day ago

They also want other countries to ramp up spending or cheer when they do.

See Japan saber rattling because PM and party but libs are happy. If China had said half the shit the PM had they'd say invade now

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 57 points 2 days ago

The level of idiosynstric racist derangement it takes for a government official to spit out that eugenicist and racialized drivel at a head of state during a televised meeting, reveals the extent to which neo-Nazi ideology has been normalized in German society

It's not only what he said, it's also the fact he was comfortable saying it out loud during a high level event that exposes how deep the rot has set in

Remember the "we are the garden they are the jungle" thing?

White people mind their own fucking business challenge (impossible)

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 47 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

This is slightly old. I think 2023? It's making the rounds again due to reposting it. Not really representative of the current softening of relations that is occurring between Europe and China.

Still funny though.

[-] huf@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

europe doesnt do real softening of relations though. they're just lying, biding their time and hoping they can still destroy china. i'm telling you these people would try to balkanize turkey and "take constantinople back" the moment turkey shits itself. they're all dreaming of restoring the roman empire or whatever delusional shit.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You're not wrong but Europe is most concerned with de-vassalising and being sovereign than anything else at the current time. As well as not breaking up. Sure, they have the ambitions you outline, but they're not under delusions that they can pursue them when they barely have enough sovereignty to tell the US it can't have Greenland.

[-] huf@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

i dont know if europe is seriously trying to de-vassalize. or that they are capable of looking reality in the face.

[-] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 35 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

still malding about not being efficient colonizers

[-] plinky@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

They still own the land in namibia lmayo

Why is your girlfriend staying over at your apartment? I used to to live here!

Robber: why is your girlfriend staying over at your apartment? I used to steal here and murdered your family!

How dare those Chinese come to Deutsch-Südwestafrika

[-] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

This is from a few years ago I think

[-] Lemvi@lemmy.sdf.org -5 points 2 days ago

The lack of self-reflection required to say 'People of nationality X are racist' is mind-blowing to me.

[-] QinShiHuangsShlong@lemmy.ml 46 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Would it make you more comfortable if instead they said racism has been historically institutionalized and systemically reproduced within Euro-American societies through law, labor systems, colonial policy, and bourgeoisie state power?

I might invite you to read settlers

"Stop being mean to the master race" part one billion...

[-] ThermonuclearHoxha@hexbear.net 39 points 1 day ago

The German state and its supporters systemically are perpetuating far worse than racism. germany-cool

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 38 points 2 days ago

Countries that support genocide don't get to complain when other people call them racist, also pretending like that slug isn't representative of a vast swathe of German society that views non-white people as (and I'm quoting German media) a "jungle"

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

If it walks like a German and quacks like a German, it's probably a nazi

[-] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 25 points 1 day ago

Its legally mandated in Germany.

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

"The Germans" is obviously a metonym for the German government (and those who support it) in this context. The claim isn't that every orphan and office clerk in Berlin is racist against Chinese people.
