  • Yes there’s a difference between the treatment of the jews by the Germans to any other genocide and inhuman treatment in the world. It was the industrialisation and the sheer scale. The death of all jews was the goal not an unintended but acceptable collateral. And the Nazis did their level best to make killing as efficient cost and labour wise as possible.

    That to this day is unprecedented to this day. Even saying this is coming dangerously close to relevation of the holocaust which is a crime in Germany - and for good reason. The Nazis for this fact alone were not demonized, a lot of them acted so mind-boggenly inhuman that demon is the most fitting word for them.



  • His stance on the legality of homosexuality in Germany is completely wrong though. Both the west and the east had § 175 penal code (though the west had heavy case version in § 175a). The east changed the law in 1968, that is true, but it wasn’t absolutely erased rather criminalised sexual acts of adults with minors of all ages and it now also included lesbian sexual acts.

    The west also changed the paragraph in 68 (below 21, former legal adulthood) and 74 (below 18)in a similar manner as the east, but lowered the threshold for lesbian sexual acts to below 14, which is the legal age for sexual consent.

    The east finally got rid of the paragraph in 1988 ( two years before the absolution of the state) while it took the west until 94.

    Basically the guy does not know shit. Source





  • Ah yes the comment was about the USSR, the picture was about China, that’s why I got confused. Though that now props the question whether they deliberately ignored the fact that the territory of the USSR grew past its 1930s borders in the aftermath of the war or not.

    Also the “entire might of capitalism”? The USSR might have been fighting the entire might of fascism but got quite substantial help from a large part of the capitalist might





  • § 357 II S.1 BGB the company has to return the shipping cost. S.2 just the cheapest option though.

    § 357 V S.1 BGB the consumer has to pay for the return if the company has informed him of this fact The company may chose to pay for the return themselves.

    BGB is the German civil code. This particular was derived as a national implementation of the EU law for the protection of the consumer and should be implemented in a similar way in all of the EU.
