Thought that might provoke.

Planet = cake.
Someone sliced the cake up, and divided it unequally. There is now constant battle over ownership, trying to readdress the balance. One country has lots of slices while many countries have to share the smallest slice between them. Long are the days of empires; it is more financial now than geographical. Nevertheless, disputes continue.

America currently has the biggest slice. 'America' could be called 'China' or 'Russia' or 'Germany'. It doesn't really make any difference to the rest of us. The economical and thus power imbalance will remain regardless of who is on which side of the fence.

As a superpower, America has flaws. Not just a small-rip-in-the-jeans type flaws, but major, devastating policies regarding the environment, munitions etc etc etc. But you can't blame America - whatever it was called, there would be the same overconsumption, security paranoia, constant battle to stay on top. I doubt a German superpower would be that different.

The mass graves, desperate lives and violent government are not unique to Germany Undertoad. Take a look at your own (and Britain's) history, and current activities.

You know enough about me by now to know I wouldn't be advocating fascism/violence/hatred etc etc. Use your intelligence when you respond and go and read 1984.
