Once you start looking at reparations for slavery and colonialism, you quickly realize it's a debt that the former colonizers will never be able to repay.

And to be honest, for wrongs that were committed over a 350+ year period, it doesn't make sense to repay a debt within a single lifetime.

So I agree with you, something would be better than nothing.

But it is important to make an inventory on what would be justly owed and what has been paid back to date and in what form. Perhaps this process should also last 350 years.

Dedollarization would happen.

It will be painful for countries which are vulnerable and ill prepared.

I honestly think there's a good chance it will happen soon. Trump is speed running "how to dismantle the US power and influence in one presidential term".

I am convinced he is a total Putin puppet and the only reason it doesn't always seem that way, is to be able to deny those allegations.

I haven't been beaten in an argument.

You are trying to lecture people on a historical genocide while whitewashing and denying a genocide that is happening before our very eyes.

That is truly sickening and not healthy. And it actually hurts people who are now dying and starving.

And you're a Nazi, just against brown people instead of Jews.

Same shit, different victims.

I didn't say that Holocaust wasn't that bad, that's you being racist.

Go up three comments to read the full context. Like a normal human.

Dude, I never said the Holocaust ain't bad.

You're just a racist projecting your beliefs on others

This whole discussion is in the context that, in Germany and the Western world, the Holocaust is positioned as the worst thing that ever happened. And the Nazi's as uniquely evil.

That's the propaganda we are arguing against.

Did I say the slave trade was an industrial genocide?

You are cherry picking parameters to try and make the Holocaust some kind of unique tier of atrocity.

In the same time frame 20 million Slavs died.

On certain islands in the Caribbean, 100% of the native population was murdered and displaced, which is more than 90%.

Yes, there are certain aspects of the Holocaust that are unique, but it is not in a unique tier by itself. There are many metrics that make other atrocities worse.

Op korte termijn zal Trump waarschijnlijk wel wat successen hebben met zijn handelsoorlog. Geen enkel land wil een plotselinge disruptie op handel absorberen. Dan maar liever een compromis sluiten.

Maar op de middellange termijn zal de wereldhandel en het financiële systeem op zoek gaan naar diversificatie.

Uiteindelijk is dit in China's voordeel. Daarom is China wel bereid op korte termijn pijn te lijden, om zodoende op lange termijn de VS in te halen, zodat het niet alleen de PPP grootste economie ter wereld zal zijn tegen 2035, maar ook nominaal.

Yeah, I think their CEO might have QNAP stock or something.

It's hilarious how dumb this is.
