You are not worthy of a response.

AuschwitzPrefec:
You are a typical useful idiot if you are truly Yoruba and part of the Igboid revised Zikist movement.

That said, Auschwitz was a camp that was meant to remove the pestilence Jews from German society whilst teaching them the virtues of a honest day's job

How can Auschwitz be a death camp when it had a maternity ward?

Do you know that the HollowHoax centre has since revised the total dead inmates from concentration camps from 6 million to under 700k?

Are you aware that the Americans also operated concentration camps for Japanese and German Americans ?

The Hollow Hoax is a big lie and it never happened.

“The correct date was June 22, 1979, but that scrivener’s error – along with a change in the CSU logo, the font on the diploma, and leadership at CSU who signed the diploma, created the appearance of differences between an earlier issued diploma and the one issued in response to the 2022 subpoena.”

LordAdam16:
That's because they aren't heard.
I want to think it is "they" who aren't listening. Thankfully, the unheard have a tendency to increase in number and shout louder.

LordAdam16:
In the US, for instance, should Trump become the POTUS again: He may stop funding Ukraine and end the War. But he sure as hell will not close all 100+ US bases and turn inward.
I agree they might not close all 100+ US bases and turn inward, but is that not just an example of doing the same thing and hoping for better results?

While America was building 100+ bases and huge debt, China moved the battlefield to economic warfare. Or do you think Americans will not change their DNA at some point if their current DNA is failing them? It is that DNA ability to change that I think makes them the superpower they are today, so I doubt they'd abandon it so quickly.

LordAdam16:
Internal conflicts as far as geopolitics is concerned only affects near-term resolutions. Over longer periods, virtually all countries have what one might call "a DNA" that presents as a single voice.
I wouldn't say this is true, and is indicative of not listening I'd say. Countries DNAs after all do change over time. China, again, moving from its supposed Communist DNA to uber-capitalist now is a clear example of dna evolution and change. Even Saudi Arabia is finding the need to shift from its misogynistic DNA. And DNA change is what the coup in Niger is indicting, at least in whom their DNA aligns with.

LordAdam16:
The UK lost their spot as the Apex superpower. Has that stopped the country from being a rabid warmonger knocking heads in Europe and across the world? That's their DNA.
I do not share your "rabid wormonger" characterisation of UK, nor do I agree that UK that has historically wanted autonomy from Europe knocks heads in Europe. Its foray across the world is no different to Spain's or Portugal's or Germany's or France's, even historically speaking, so it must have been an European DNA if anything.

What's in UK's DNA is profit making, if you asked me, and that has a lot more to explain "geopolitics if you look closely" than any supposed country's DNA which constantly changes and evolves.

LordAdam16:
The vast majority of the country may oppose Tinubu's Niger gambit, but if you read pansophist 's earlier reply; you'll understand that Nigeria is a Western client state. All regions in Nigeria lean West. The plurality of our major politicos lean West. This "internal conflict" you describe relating to the Niger coup is akin to the "internal conflict" that the Germans had when Russia launched the SMO.

In both cases, Western interests prevailed.
We lean West because we have historically leaned West, but nothing says we couldn't and don't lean elsewhere or haven't in the past. Some of us afterall leaned towards the middle east and even adopted middle eastern religion and worldview as opposed to that of the west.

The "vast majority of the country" opposed the last government of NIger too for leaning west and aligning with France and letting "Western interests prevail", then there was a thing called a coup and we saw the "vast majority of the country" jubilating on the streets, so I wouldn't underestimate the "vast majority of the country" myself, but that's me, I guess.

LordAdam16:
Do flesh out your point.

In geopolitics, it is customary to describe the foreign policy directions of countries in a manner that may be construed as these countries "speaking of one single minded entity".

-Lord
In reality, no single voice speaks for any country with perhaps the exception of Russia and Saudi Arabia and China, and assuming a country speaks as 'one single minded entity' is a disregard of politics through which was is voiced is negotiated; and political change, which in many countries is 4-8 years and is a change of voice and often also what is said. Tinubu's one voice about attacking the coupists in Niger is a case in point. He spoke with his one voice and other voices opposed him.

Democracies, after all, do create avenues for other voices to be heard, so why make out they aren't heard "in geopolitics"?

He's either ignorant, stupid, or just plain lying and thinks we wouldn't know.

Personally, I doubt smart enough for that last one since it just shows his ignorance more. But I confess I'm considering the stupidity that might motivate it.

LordAdam, I read your Brazil, Russia, India, etc, as if you are speaking of one single minded entity. Like there is one single person making decisions for these countrys, when in my mind I see the internal political tussle to determine who decides who they align with.

Take Nigeria alone. Russia has scuppered the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline from Warri to Europe that some have wanted built and some haven't. Russia definitely didn't want it built, and also had to retaliate for Nord Stream. On the other side are T-SGP investors going way back to the 70s in expectation of reaping trillions of dollars selling gas to Europe. Either side needs their supporter at the top, and while Nigeria democratically chose its, Niger has decided to choose its with a Russian assisted coup, which some say us resisting is a war against Northern Nigeria. All countrys are internally conflicted about their alignments, is my point, with some of us Nigerians being anti or pro various alignments.

But as I said, "I read", and not, that is what you wrote. So, just correcting my own ignorance I suppose, and informing you of it.

It is not a thread on feminism, so I won't go further. Just to state that, I was once very pro-feminist during my early days on Nairaland. Also, I said in poor countries. Extreme feminism has generated low birth rates in a traditional society such as South Korea, but that is a wealthy country. Does feminism has its benefits? Yes.

I really don't want to delve into it as it will derail this thread.
So are you now antifeminist, and want to keep women where men designed for women?

Thanks so much for sharing this nuggets.

Can we improve our productivity and be better organised, without free basic healthcare and education for allhuh
Free anything means low wages, and low wages means low productivity and low quality, as those jobs will attract those who can't earn more in better jobs.

Best is, charge for healthcare and education so more can be available to invest in health and education and attract better employees who provide more than basic. With better education, productivity will increase.

I really want to see the social experiment's outcome in the next decade. Unlike developed countries where work dey and people earn good money, I want to see the result of extreme feminism in poor countries.
Your "extreme" is prejudiced biased, and an attempt to demonise.

Feminism increases the worker pool, and gives employers more choice. Already, feminism has ensured more girls than boys get educated, and women are more desirable employees than boys.

If you boys don't evolve you'll be left far behind.

Why is there not so much money to be made in our country and other African countries, for Americans and Europeans to invest here, for us to be as wealthy and secure in our collective wellbeing, like the Chinesehuh
There isn't "so much money to be made in our country and other African countries" because our purchasing power is low. And our purchasing power is low because our productivity is low. And our productivity is low because we are not organised.

Fix these things and even we will make money amongst our African selves.

“The parties agree that Respondent, through her conduct, undermined the American public’s confidence in the presidential election, violating her duty of candor to the public,” Bryon Large, Colorado’s presiding disciplinary judge, wrote in his opinion in March.
