BidenDTrounced:I wanted to cite Wikipedia concerning events of WW1 and WW2 and how it relates to today but it was riddled with misleading information. However, the facts remain that: WW1 was ignited by the assassination of a political figure (one of the reasons I said Nagasaki and Yokohama is better than assassinating an incumbent Russian President, especially not one that enjoys an OVERWHELMING support of the masses). Germany was a combatant state in WW1 and WW2. WW1 is sometimes referred to as The Great War (it was seen as a war to end all wars). WW1 ended with Germany's defeat, conditions were imposed on Germany to make sure it would be weak and unable to threaten Europe. It failed, in WW2, Germany was the strongest and most competent of it's allies (Italy and Japan). Hitler's mistake was greed (abudnace of oil and metal in Russia) and hatred for Russians (Hitler's approach towards Russians was different from his approach towards Britain, France etc. He was more brutal in Russia and he didn't want any Russian living, he also wanted to wipe away Russian culture from the face of the earth)...he never should have marched against Moscow. France was already colonized, Britain was on it's knees. He had conquered large swathes of territory in Europe. PS: Russia/Moscow is the prime entity in the defunct Soviet Union. The West sees colonization, neo colonization and Nazism as a way to to compensate for it's semi barrenness. BidenDTrounced: |

BidenDTrounced: Colonization Of White People Bad Hitler was bitterly jealous of European colonies and wanted his own. The world, however, was already taken, and full of dirty darky blood. So he decided to colonize Europe instead. For Germany, consequently, the only possibility for carrying out a healthy territorial policy lay in the acquisition of new land in Europe itself. Colonies cannot serve this purpose unless they seem in large part suited for settlement by Europeans. But in the nineteenth century such colonial territories were no longer obtainable by peaceful means. Consequently, such a colonial policy could only have been carried out by means of a hard struggle which, however, would have been carried on to much better purpose, not for territories outside of Europe, but for land on the home continent itself. (Mein Kampf, Chapter IV: Munich) Hitler decided to OUT-NAZI the ORIGINAL NAZIS and COLONIZE them. This was the great sin of Nazism. Not the war, or mass murder, or concentration camps — that was all widely practiced in European colonies. Belgians were cutting off limbs to extract more rubber. The Brits were running concentration camps and stealing food (during famines) up to 1943. They fought a war with China to force them to buy drugs. It goes on and on. Throughout the centuries of colonialism, millions died and atrocity was just a daily event. Our bodies were treated with less care than animals. Our food and resources were stolen. Besides the direct murder, overall life expectancy declined all over the colonies. The horror at Nazis was not what they did, it was who they did it to. This stuff was all fine for non-white people, indeed, we’re supposed to be grateful for the civilizing effect it’s had. The great sin of Nazism was visiting atrocities upon white people. People that mattered. People that were people. In simple terms, Hitler colonized the colonizers. And they didn’t like it. I would note, neither did we. (Over my dead body will I be a Western apologist) The necessary explanation Please know that I am in no way minimizing the horrors of Nazis or especially the Holocaust. I stand in solidarity with those oppressed people, in compassion for those dead. The question is, do you stand with me? The lesson many people have drawn from the Holocaust is to never speak of Nazis unless someone is literally gassing people. This does a great disservice to the dead. The lesson is empathy — that no one’s lives, rights, bodies, and dignity should be taken away. And I assure you, we non-white people feel the same. If you could just empathize. The lesson is not to pit our atrocities against each other, it is solidarity against all oppression. (The West still remains the oppressor) White people understand Nazism on a visceral level because it happened to them, because it could happen to them, but I’m telling you, it happened to us. If you thought a few decades of Nazis was bad, we suffered under [b]colonial occupation (Canada, US, Australia etc are still under direct colonial occupation..it compensates for the barrenness of Western Europe) for hundreds of years. And now we use the word for furniture. Colonization Of Non-White People Good Colonialism has indeed become furniture, something in the background that we just ignore. But look closer. The furniture is made of human bones. Starving children. Severed limbs, bodies tortured with glass bottles, ignored in famine, cut with barbed wire and chains. Colonial furniture is like a serial killer’s lampshade. It’s made of skin and bones, blood and tears, sweat and abject fear. Even today, prominent historians will talk about colonialism as a net positive, because hey the world exists and I have tenure. As if another world wasn’t possible. As if wrong wasn’t wrong because railroads. Of course, the same people survived Nazism and don’t speak of that as a net good. That was evil, because it happened to them. And yet, for much of the world Nazism actually ended our terror, because a weakened Europe then withdrew its foot from our necks. But we don’t talk about it that way because we’re not awful. I wouldn’t rest my freedom on the backs of so many that suffered. I mourn them as my own. So why do you rest this present on the broken backs of my ancestors, and expect no condemnation? Why can’t you mourn for us? Where I live, the British suppressed a rebellion by killing all the men and livestock and burning and salting the Earth. The Uva Province, once a breadbasket, is poor to this day. And yet even we remain colonized, in our own minds. Even we defend these murderers and thieves by thanking them for the few things they left, like THANKING A RAPIST FOR LEAVING the bed. The corrosive influence of colonialism (neo colonialism) continues because we have rendered its horrors invisible. Nazism is real, animated, almost a caricature of evil. It’s victims noble, heroic, mourned. Colonialism, however, happened to savages.(Winston Churchill, another Hitler attested to this) The suffering is dark, literally so. You can’t see it. However, turn up the exposure a little bit and you’ll see. You’ll see us. The lives that never were, that never could be, the very life expectancy that was stolen from us. The millions upon millions dead. The starvation. The camps, the torture, the casual, everyday oppression for HUNDREDS of years. Bleep Nazis and Bleep colonialism. Bleep all of it. Bleep all oppression of any human beings. Colonization/Neo Colonization of non-white people cannot be treated with levity while victims of Nazism (colonization of white people) are seen as noble and heroic. That’s just white people (westerners), continuing to think they’re better than every other people. [b]The millions of coloured people that were murdered, subjugated or exterminated for belonging to a race/ethnicity or for practicing a religion different from the dictates of the colonialists are not less human. All of Europe was a centuries-long orgy of bloodlust and savagery that only ended when it turned on itself. It was always bad, white people only noticed when it happened to them.But it happened to us, and it was awful, and this is true. COLONIALISM IS WORSE THAN NAZISM. If you don’t see that, you simply don’t see us. Open your eyes and see. Nazis WEREN'T some anomaly that happened to Europe. It was just colonialism imploding on itself. The End. |

BidenDTrounced:One unique fact about China. Majority of the Chinese population practice thier traditional religion (not any of the major religions), yet it remains the best country in the whole world. The fact that the Chinese people are not so easily manipulated is why they'll forever remain top on the world stage. |

BidenDTrounced: UnionPay overtakes Visa in global debit card transactions The Chinese payment system has benefited from its expansion in Russia after US rivals left, research shows. Chinese payment system UnionPay has overtaken rival Visa on the global debit card market, research by analytical company Nilson Report has found. According to the study, UnionPay’s share of debit card transactions reached 40.03% in 2022, while the share of Visa transactions was around 38.8%. The volume of settlements made through UnionPay cards was also bigger, reaching $16.227 billion against Visa’s $14.109 billion. In 2021, Visa had a larger market share – 39.53% – compared with UnionPay’s 38.68%. The study notes that this was a significant shift in market share from a decade ago, when the share of Visa debit card transactions in the global market was nearly 80%, compared with UnionPay’s 1-2%. At the time, UnionPay was mostly used in the domestic market. Another payment card system, MasterCard, saw its debit card transactions market share plunge from 39.53% in 2021 to 21.19% last year. Experts told Izvestia newspaper that one of the major reasons for the surge in UnionPay transactions is the rapid economic growth of the Asia-Pacific region, where the system is widely used. “The UnionPay system is used most often in China and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region. In recent years, they have been experiencing faster economic growth, which, in turn, has contributed to an increase in the volume of card transactions. Hence the increase in the market share of UnionPay,” Igor Dodonov, an analyst at Finam Group, told the news outlet. Another factor that propelled the use of UnionPay is its expansion in the Russian market, which came after both Visa and MasterCard left the country amid Ukraine-related sanctions last year, analysts say. Prior to 2022, 4-5% of all Visa and MasterCard transactions were made in Russia. After the companies left, their cards continued to work in Russia, but they could not be used abroad. As an alternative, a number of banks began to work with the Chinese card system. As of early May, seven Russian banks were issuing UnionPay cards. Experts also point out that the power balance between Visa and UnionPay is affected by the decline in US GDP growth, which slowed to 1.1% in the first quarter. Chinese GDP grew by 4.5% in the first quarter from a year ago, which, according to analysts, shows that UnionPay is currently in a more competitive environment than Visa. https://www.rt.com/business/577074-unionpay-visa-debit-card-transactions/ |
