TBH I confused you with OP who argued Germans (so all of them) never stopped being Nazis but from my perspective also your argument without the context of the first post kind of implies to me that just because someone’s ancestors used to be nazis, and they are still involved in their ancestors’ corporations, that they must be Nazis too.

I think there’s a correlation between wealth and facism to some degree. But IMHO not because a company already existed back in that era.

Wealthy people with power being greedy and striving for more is not a proof that facism is some kind of trait burnt into the ‘German genes’. That’s rather an issue of capitalism than the nation you were born in. In the USA facism is equally on the rise as in Germany (if not worse). Still, that’s not because the entire population has always been Nazis and slave holders. It’s because a wealthy minority abuses their power to spread propaganda.

Even during WW2 not the whole nation was purely Nazis. The majority was brainwashed and following the cult, yes. But even during its highest peak of popularity, there were always resisting forces against the regime. Right now facism and populism are on the rise again but if you ask me a lot of that is caused by (presumably Russian) troll armys on social media.

From my perspective, the shift towards (far) right politics and populism we experience in Germany is a phenomenom that we see across large parts of Europe and has nothing to do with WW2 nazis still being there. Maybe there are parallels but that ideology re-grew pretty much from scratch.

Also, we first have to define more precisely what ‘being 2’ means. E.g., if we just count birthdays and one of them is born on Feb 29th in a leap year, that person ‘ages’ with 1/4 of the speed.

I use the regular KeePass 2 and love it. It looks a bit oldfashioned but is a very powerful tool once you get used to it a bit. As there are plenty of addons you can also easily extend the standard feature set with further options.

Thanks for taking the time to comment here.

The foods that are vegan and plant-based have zero animal products. It is not up for debate.

From my perspective, that’s a classical strawman. No one said that food with animal products is vegan or that a restaurant that serves animal products should be considered a vegan restaurant.

I just prefer a restaurant that still serves a large number of vegan options over the average omnivore restaurant that has no or just very few vegan options. That’s better for me personally but IMO also for the vegan movement as a whole as it eases access to vegan food for everyone.

I went fully vegan 3 years ago - I don’t think it’s fair to call me or others fake vegans or flexitarians just because we have a slightly different opinion on a certain topic.
