  • You don't kill 1,47 million people in 100 days through working people to death. Those people were largely just exterminated, as Hitler also spoke of the "annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe".

    I think you may also be confusing the concentration camps with the extermination camps. Read up on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Reinhard, millions were deported to one of six extermination camps the Nazis built. Or Aktion T4. There's plenty of sources that show the intent was to kill, any slave labor was just a nice benefit.

    Slaves you keep alive on purpose, because they're no use of you dead. The Nazis did no such thing, because they preferred their victims dead.

  • I'm not willing to let them walk around my country

    Which is weird too, like he's not charged with a crime so what makes him different from a random El Salvadoran citizen?

  • Oh yes the Rwandan genocide really was incredibly brutal. If there had been a strong state apparatus I have little doubt that they could have matched the Holocaust rate. The intention was certainly there.

  • Did I say the slave trade was an industrial genocide?

    Yes you did. The comment you replied to said:

    The holocaust is the name for this specific event and there has not in human history been a larger industrially organized murder of a people.

    You then replied with:

    Yes, there has been. Neonazi propaganda is bad, but so is Zionist propaganda. The transatlantic slave trade put 12 million people on ships from Africa to the Americas.

  • The transatlantic slave trade, horrible as it was, took hundreds of years to make its victims, and was not a campaign of targeted extermination. There was little to no care for the slaves' lives, but their murder wasn't the goal.

    The Holocaust only lasted from 41 to 45. 6 million jews were murdered in a span of only 4 years. In a period of just 100 days 1,47 million jews were systematically targeted and exterminated. That's nearly double the rate of the Rwandan genocide. It's the same amount of people who died on board of the slave ships spanning from the 16th to the 19th century. No genocide in history has a higher death rate than that. 90+% of Polish jews were murdered, a near total extinction.

    That's what people refer to when they talk about the largest industrial genocide. No other genocide in our history has come close. The numbers do not lie, and calling the memory of the Holocaust "zionist propaganda" is pretty sickening. It's not just zionists that claim this you know, reputable historians around the world do.

  • Last I tried Rustdesk (two days ago) it was a buggy, glitchy mess and the shared screen was tearing immensely. Is that recent or did it use to be better?

  • If the tariff is too great the cost becomes unspreadable. Spreading cost requires other regions to still afford the new price, and with numbers like this that's unlikely.

    About one-third of Switches were sold in the US. Spreading a 145% tariff means hiking everyone's prices by 40-50%. That will murder sales in other regions.

    Better to eat a 30% temporary loss that adds pressure on Trump to reverse-course than to eat an even higher loss and face backlash worldwide for making others pay for Trumps idiocy.

  • Breath of the Wild is 8 years old at this point. Asking $70 for that is pretty egregious in my opinion. Maybe for TotK that'd be more acceptable but for BotW I think it's a very steep price. Especially given that it's common that rereleases usually include dlcs by default.

    I'd expected $60 for the full package, not $90, given that the amount of development work was likely pretty low (the game was finished years ago after all). So 50% higher than expected.

    The SM64+Sunshine+Galaxy bundle game was $30, for comparison. That's three full games that they needed to put in effort for to run on the Switch.

  • Then you also mandate tri-monthly doctor's appointments or something similar to check. Sounds horrible.

  • Yes, that's not in dispute?

    If you click through on the source on commerce sanctions (which is what would apply to possible tariffable goods) then you will find that the BIS oversees that. Not the taskforce going after Russian oligarchs, who have a different set of sanctions apply to them.

    Again, there's already a high level of tariffs on Russian trade, and they don't have a "most favored trade nation" status anymore:

    U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told lawmakers there is β€œno effort to reinvigorate trade with Russia,” pushing back on Democrats who suspected Mr. Trump was cozying up to Russian President Vladimir Putin amid negotiations to reignite economic relations or end the war in Ukraine.

    President Biden signed bills and issued decrees in 2022 that sanctioned Russia and Belarus and increased tariffs on things such as steel and aluminum, minerals and chemicals.

    β€œThey already have these high tariffs, they don’t have permanent normal trade relations,” Mr. Greer told the House Ways and Means Committee.

  • Sanctioned oligarchs have completely different sanctions than trade sanctions that apply to countries. Apples and oranges.

  • One is a sanction lifting on a fairly unimportant woman, true. Two are about "plans" a month ago (nothing was put in practice). Last one is tangentially related. But none are really about lifting sanctions on the country.

  • Trump hasn't lifted any sanctions on Russia yet. He prolonged them for a year in February, and has been trying to offer the perspective of lifting them in exchange for peace negotiations. But since Putin hasn't started negotiating in earnest yet, no sanctions have been lifted as far as I know.

  • Yeah but that's out of incompetence, not malice. You're in most cases not allowed to trade with Russia due to sanctions, so what is there to tariff?

  • Russia is already on its own "special list" of countries that have very heavy trade restrictions. Like North Korea.

    I don't think tariffs would've made a difference there.

  • Screen size, resolution, the APU, storage size, controller connector, buttons, the lot. They did state that they worked on the stick drift issue and found ways to mitigate it, but they weren't specific unfortunately.
