It was a tangent.

Yes. It. Is.

So I will digress.

Wow

I am a veteran.

Ok

Germany effectively became a serf to Europe.

We are nowhere near that.

Hobbled

Hobbled and forced into subservience.

And debtor imprisoned

And with no money.

Basically you had monopoly men, and everyone else was starving.

Lol we keep saying the same thing at the same time. I'm waiting now.

Probably went to sleep

And you know the first thing to happen to those monopoly men when Hitler took power? You guessed it.

And guess who tended to be the monopoly men?

People 'good with money'?

People not bad with money I guess.

People with a different culture and therefore different views on finances is the best way to put it, and the most PC.

This is what led to Hitler thinking that these certain people were all criminals and crooks, and taking advantage of the German people.

Begin: Nationalism.

Yup.

Nationalism = fascism?

Not inherently.

Can absolutely lead to it though.

Agreed

Can also abhor it.

I think you mean nazbol.

Anyone been having problems with the postal service?

Ever since like 20 years ago.

I have three packages that are not even updated in their tracking. ... Had like 15 already show up, whereas these ones are just... Stuck.

Yea happens to me all the time.

0 updates for like 6-10 days then suddenly it arrives.

Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia

Makes sense, these are likely the worst fraud areas too... XD

Particularly at JFK airport.

Isn't the national security compromised?
Sex with regular folks is fine. But relationship with an enemy spy is illegal somewhere

I remember getting the honeypot opsec briefings about Russians when I was stationed on Ramage and we were in the Mediterranean

The issue is having a honeypot getting cozy and you spilling about opsec

And then I was stationed in Japan/Okinawa where there are many Chinese there either tourists, residents, or spies.
