    I am not well read on Germany but wasn’t there widespread poverty and unemployment after the reunification because the industrial capacity of East Germany bought and shut down to own the commies? Seems a bit ecofascist to sweep that under the rug and justify it because the air quality improved.

      Yep, basically the numbers improved because of the recession where almost nothing was being produced anymore.

      More or less what I told him. Also super self-defeating since he even brought up that only during the 90’s (crysis) it was “less poluted”, like, get self-shooting itself…

      I congratuled them for the massive loss of jobs for it, and how it was OBVIOUSLY more about industry being a lot more inefficient in pollution control regardless of te political system.

        For fuck’s sake, this is the absolute description of a multigenerational punishment for “your ancestors offended God, therefore your kind and nation will forever suffer as our servants” kind of thing the Bible is full of… Just that this time “God” is the Capital and the US…
