    Pretty fucking dumb to endorse Genocide to the tune of ~1 billion because of guilt about conducting a Genocide…

      I didn’t say it was a smart decision. Emotions can make people do irrational things. And if they feel that badly about what happened in the past, I could see this hard overcorrection.

      It is dumb, yes, but humans aren’t always rational about such emotionally intense things as that scale of national guilt

        No, this is an extremely rational colonialist decision made by big German business interests.

          The rational being selling stuff gives you money, i dont think they really care who dies, as long as there is someone left to be their customer.

        I am from the USA so that is a totally, utterly perposterous idea to me, my bad I didn’t realize Europe is so much less civilized than USA.

        I step on a rake and smack myself in the face
