  • there was no altruism in the marshal plan, only gambits to gain leverage.

    Sure, we benefitted from that aid to Europe, but not at the expense of the other participants and not without sacrifice.

    tell that to the global south and it only lead to an epstein class so immensely rich that they’re currently capable for making us happy w sacrificing our freedoms.

    We learned from the aftermath of the first world war, when we collectively punished Germany to the point of their desperation and enabled the rise of Nazism as a response to crualty.

    germany is currently europe’s biggest support of fascism; it’s currently arresting people who peacefully protest against isreal’s genocide & ethnic cleansing of gaza while giving them military aid and diplomatic over to do the same with lebanon & iran. it’s also censuring journalists to the degree that they can’t pay rent nor feed their families and making it legally impossible for them to fight back legally for speaking out against isreal; people who try to help them are likewise censured in the same way.
