    OP is an idiot. Attribution is a good form of advertising, but because we all sacrificed our wits to the altar of anti consumerism, we must say that all and any form of advertisement is bad.

    The only way through this cognitive dissonance is to say attribution is not advertisement.

    European history is basically “and these people there killed each other because they didn’t like the pope” so it’s not exactly a surprise we are less sensitive to “this is racist” rhetoric, when every single possible reason has been used to justify slaughtering each other. If St. Barthelemy was not racist, why should the crusades be?

    American history is pretty much always them murdering non-whites, in comparison

    Note that I’m not defending the reasoning, or the problems it creates today, but I see way too many people online acting like Europeans were all BFFs before the empires came up





  • This kind of article really gives a “never meet your heroes vibe”.

    At least for the brain-dead C++ push. The language is unfortunately not going away with all the millions of crappy legacy code out there, but please let the kids move on with the times.

    90% of C++ knowledge is language specific UB crap that has nothing to do with software development anyway. Pushing the language in 2025 makes you look like a Luddite. Any combination C/Rust + Python/C# + OCaml/Haskell ought to teach you a bit of everything, without having to learn the difference between auto and decltype(auto), a billion initialisation options, a billion value-types, and whatever crap is going to generate 100 lines of undecipherable template errors

    Oh fuck off, Germany ended where it was because of the great depression. What you mentioned are just aggravating factors. Take that Nazi propaganda elsewhere

    But, to your other point, USA projects so much power, they could invade virtually anywhere and get away with it. Look at Iraq.

    My bet is a test run on Cuba, because “Guantanamo is getting too small”. Then maybe a chunk of Mexico.
