Please please, also run to Canada, were closer by

I'm worried that if there's war you guys will be affected as well. Running further seems more reasonable.

Don't think you white folk don't realise Europe has no real power anymore and shifting to facism. America has military hegemony, but not science or manufacturing, and again falling to facism and corporations.

Real power is moving to where stuff is getting made and leaving thode with bullshit over inflation like Tesla, or many other stocks. The current center of economic power has moved closer and closer to where it was 500 years ago.

The EU has the second biggest economy in the world and contains 3 of the G7 nations (4 if you include the UK, which will almost certainly pivot back to EU membership in the next few years). All member states are part of NATO and France, Germany and the UK possess a significant nuclear arsenal.

But yeh, no real power.

PS 500 years ago, the economic power was Western European countries like France, England, Portugal, Spain.

Ps, you're so confidently wrong. 1525 the economic powers of the world were India and china https://www.businessinsider.com/mckinsey-worlds-economic-center-of-gravity-2012-6

Here's a nice graphic to make it easy for your Eurocentric mind to comprehend

second biggest economy

Bud how put of date your knowledge is? You from the 90s? Name the top 5 in order of GDP? Go ahead. Please. I know you're speaking of Germany but please try and back it up it in 2025 that they are the second biggest economy lmao

Also is Europe getting richer, is American or European manufacturing improving? No, it's going towards china, towards India, towards Africa. Europe became rich because of hundreds of years of exploitation and another 100 years of soft power to ensure cheap resources than be taken to Europe/America, produce high quality and sent back. Problem is, the world is now able to do a lot of it itself and Asia can make everything it needs and give to all other Asian and African Nations.

Military threat, yeah, 100% that's all Europe has, that's how you become rich was bombing and exploiting others. But the suprise factor is gone, nobody trusts you guys, look at the trade map, you think you're gonna challenge this?

I know you're speaking of Germany

Nope, they very clearly said The EU and not Germany, which is accurate. The EU is behind the US and in front of China in GDP, firm second place.

What's up with .ml users being shit with reading comprehension?

Just give a year or two and brains will be fleeing EU also

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Why would they?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 hours ago

Here in Germany, we will have a conservative government at best and a fascist one at worst. AFD is at 20% at national levels, and locally they are winning in the East, which I, naive and wrongly motivated as I was, moved to from merry Bavaria.

Where, though? Moon?

They are smart aren't they

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

I’d say we are in an odd position. I don’t know when you last attended a PhD ceremony, but in engineering, over half were foreigners. The US already had a brain drain, by not producing top notch scientists and engineers. This is only exacerbating the issue.

[–] [email protected] 71 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hope this is true, with the attacks on science in the US, we’re really looking at falling backward here. I’m afraid we’ll lose good weather forecasting and GPS services very soon, to just name the low hanging fruit.

If only there was something the American people could do about this.

But they’re holding signs up‽

That's how Americans exercise their 2nd amendment outside of their schools.

You really don't want us pulling out the ammo box. There's a good reason we are still trying the soap and jury boxes. Every single time we pull out the ammo box, as a people, the entire world is affected. We don't really like that.

They skipped the part where after the war we took the nazi scientists too...

But the old nazis were really into science, modern nazis not so much.

I don't think other countries are going to be chasing our science deniers like we chased rocket and medical scientists after the war.

You don’t think Europe wants our 19 year old whiz kids whose laptops overheat from processing excel files?

Well...hopefully they'll get chased. Just not for the same reasons.

1945-1959: Same as 1930s but the scientist guy is also a Nazi (and Hitler has a bullet hole lmao)

I'm an ignorant American, what's the significance of the bull/ox?

[–] [email protected] 66 points 22 hours ago (8 children)

That woman on the bull is Europa (Ancient Greek Εὐρώπη, Eurṓpē), daughter of the Phoenician king Agenor, lived about 2000 BCE. The bull is the shapeshifted Zeus that is kidnapping Europa. They had sex and sired Minos, king of Crete. Minos is the one who feed the Minotaur by sending children into its labyrinth.

Yeah Greek mythology is weird.

O Gabriel, now dawns thy reckoning, and thy gore shall GLISTEN before the temples of Man!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

Well that is a healthy family for sure

[–] [email protected] 17 points 19 hours ago

The bull that fathered the Minotaur was not Zeus, it was a gift by Poseidon who expected king Minos to sacrifice the bull to Poseidon. The king kept the gift and sacrificed another bull, Poseidon got pissed and had the king's wife screw the bull, giving birth to the Minotaur.

You know, I watched that show Netflix canceled, with Jeff Goldblum, and so I'm like, hey, that's right! Sure, could've paid attention in school, but better Nate than lever.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Kaos is the show you’re thinking of.

The Longest Joke in the World is the Nate and lever reference (well worth the read).
