MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United
They had to lose both of those wars and completely rebuild their political institutions for that trust to be rebuilt lol. Nothing like that will happen here. Nobody is coming to save you.
Yeah I mean setting aside the facts that Germany was literally split in half for 40 years after WW2 and governed by outside forces for a time, was basically forced to enact reforms to prevent the elevation of fascists to their government again, and had a thorough set of war crime trials (a process created from the ground up specifically for Germany), they basically just whistled dixie and the world started trusting them again when they elected a different chancellor. /s
Then again, America is pretty much confirmed to be a nation of mostly idiots or lazy losers, so of course we would forgive our enemies. After all, we can make money from them!
Germany is just some backwater Roman conquest. I don’t know what the fuck you’re on about. Greece gave birth to western civilization, not some wooded hill full of bear worshippers.
It’s been decades of US-centric media, political commentary, and general cultural dominance/presence in our lives in most English speaking countries whether we liked it or not.
I kind of read this as the elastic band snapping back, we’ve had to hear so much about the US for long, this is almost cathartic. And it’s not people on the fediverse who are responsible, unfortunately you’re probably the most empathetic group in a social media platform at all. You just happen to be here. With a lot of cynical, anti establishment nerds who have a space to vent.
I’m so glad there’s so many geniuses on the Internet to tell me how bad my country is everyday. Really makes things a lot better.
What’s amazing is they’re obtuse enough that they don’t understand Germany started two world wars and we trust them just fine.
Germany was purged of Nazis by a more powerful outside force. That’s not happening this time.
The war ended, the Nazis persisted and often times the skilled ones were taken as was reparations by the allies.
It logically has to happen or they win the world.
Ok, fine in that scenario a few decades from now others will trust us…
Probably not in my lifetime but yes.
Ackshully was Austria ☝️🤓

Ya huh, .ca might as well be .ru as this point. All you all do is call for armed uprising and vocalize your doom spiraling and saber rattling.
Technically they only started one world war and even that is debatable.
After the first one they got shafted so hard by everyone that they still felt the pain years later. Which kinda lead into Hitler’s coming into power.
And Japan. And Vietnam. And fucking CHINA!

That’s because Germany is an European country, the continent that gave birth to western civilization.
The US is just a former colony. Nobody cares about rebels

See how dumb you sound?
The difference is that they are a former colony of the glorious Roman empire, not some islanders
Most of the world is a former colony in one way or another, try again.
