Just adding this to the discussion : http://forum.meleegaming.com/general-discussion/gtx-'the_coward'/msg579786/#msg579786
Yeah, that was discussion latter with urist who didn't respond after i gave him name of person murdered over holocaust. (and in Austria it is a crime, here in Poland it isn't yet - it's good that law dont work backward).
Ah.. einstein and Stalin, what could be more interesting in a forum dominated by Polish, German/Austrian and Russian players?
Why didn't we have such an interesting debate before?
I'm afraid we can never really agree.. Especially because the Trauma is so strong still in the above societies. (With good reason)
So much that it cloud logical thinking for many. Why we don't feel so empathic toward murdered china people by certain individual with three letters in the name ?
Back on Topic from a Scandinavian perspective: Communism and Fascism destroys human beings. Capitalism also destroys human beings, but at least they can be their natural selves + it also consumes the planet.
What we need is a well educated elite that can make the masses (us) believe in freedom and democracy (While its not actually being that) while saving the planet. A kind of hippie new world order.. And basically abandon this planet before we destroy it and find a new one to consume.
We're fucked neither way.
On the other hand, we are probably pretty rare in the universe.. So take comfort in that you are special while it lasts.
*Edit: Holocaust: I live in Poland. Hardly any jews here. Neither in Norway anymore. Proof enough? They all moved to Hollywood to control the world??
We are fucked either way.
C'mon i know fair amount of them and traded with them. Many just have their names changed - and many left because in 1968 some idiot did some things. Jews do ok in Poland, i know because i live in jewish district.
Oh, and i don't get how one can be chocolate chip cookie in Poland after all those things German occupation did to the nation. Would be awesome to get banned for it. Hating nationalist and socialist in the same time.
