Arguably the reason Germany lost was that it had too many enemies simultaniously not that its military leadership was bad. In fact quute a few Generals and Admirals of Nazi-Germany were outright geniuses. But even with the best leadership you can’t win a war that is simply overwhelming. Also the political decisions to make enemies left right and center is what got Germany in that position. Quute similarily to what is happening in the USA right now.

Freedom will always lead to more crime. If we want freedom, we will have to accept crime.

Also just because something is not visible, it does not mean it’s not there. China for example appears to have no homelessness, but that is simply untrue. It has a major problem, but makes sure the majority of people and tourists don’t get to see it. Singapur may not in fact have a drug problem, but if that is due to the radical approach of criminilisation or due to broad wealth of most inhabitants cannot be seen from outside.

Also all studies show that harsh punishments are actually detrimental to battling criminal behaviour.

Why would drug addicts give up their dealers? For one, they still need someone to distribute them drugs. Secondly snitching out dealers is pretty dangerous. Thirdly, why? What incentive does an addict have? Not to go to prison? That is often a better choice than staying on the streets. In prison at least you have a place to sleep, it’s warm and you get food three times a day. I don’t know the prison conditions in Canada. But where I live, I’d a hundred percent rather go to prison than stay on the street.

Flecken is German for spots. Glaukomflecken just means glaucoma spots.

I thought an email adress was like a website. My first email has a www. in front. Luckily my name is so unique, I can create new ones with my name on every service

Air pumps will become the norm in Germany in a few years to phase out gas heating in private homes. Some also use it for cooling in summer. Although the one family I know that has it cools a water tank that is circulated in the ceilings of the house to cool it down without wind or noise

AFAIK flying a tiny but long ass flag is normal in Denmark. You are however only allowed to fly a Danish, Norwegian, Swedish or German flag.

In Germany it is forbidden to fly a German flag with the state emblem (yellow shield with black eagle) as that is the official German flag and may only be flown by federal goverment entities.

Also flying the wrong flag or the right one incorrectly on a boat or ship im Germany can get you fined up to 10k€
