The holocaust wasn't a game either. Nor a cheap rhetoric trick.

Get that?

If you don't like that comparison, then maybe you should stop defending policies which, were they implemented everywhere they are being pursued, would give rise to seven-figure body counts.

Re: Debts, promises and the erosion of democracy (none / 0)

Of course I only defend these policies in your fantasy.

You really are drunk on your own rhetoric.

Re: Debts, promises and the erosion of democracy (none / 0)

So when I point out that the main enemies of Europe are Merkozy, her minions and the nutters in the BuBa, I'm defending neoliberals in the countries that have suffered German protectionist attacks for the last twenty years.

But when you herpaderp about how unfair it is that I point out the simple fact that the most vocal and most powerful enemies of Europe are all German, then you're not associated with them at all.

I'll leave it to the reader to judge whether that's a double standard or not.

Re: Debts, promises and the erosion of democracy (none / 0)

So you "point out" and I "herpaderp".

Is that supposed to be an argument now?

And you are defending neoliberal elites all over europe by giving them the convenient excuse that they are underr attack from Germany. I don't excuse anybody. So yes, that is different behavior.

Re: Debts, promises and the erosion of democracy (none / 0)

You don't excuse it, you just flat out deny it.

I'll leave it to the reader to judge whether that is better or worse than pointing it out.

And yes, you are herpaderping when you not only make elementary mistakes such as failing to net out cyclical flows in a flow of funds model and stonewall when this obvious newbie mistake is pointed out to you.
