> and it wasn't by vigorous protest.

Are you off your rocker or just completely unfamiliar with the history of human rights and civil liberties?

Oh, and what for?

In boardgame communities, it’s called “Cult of the New”.

> You're making light humor around very horrific things as if it's some comedy.

Thats a bad misread.

> 90% of people also don't create any value

Isn't it weird that the people that don't create value are also the people with all the money, though?

> At $5MM farmers are affected.

Farmers—as in, the land-owning famers—are generally wealthy people.

> If you take real resources away from the person who owns the McDonald's ice cream machine in real terms I have a hard time seeing how it won't come out of the lifestyle of the dude buying icecream.

What you're describing is called "Trickle Down Economics", and has led to 50 years of economic failure.

> now you have people fighting in the street over stupid things like politics.

Politics is how we interact with each other as a group, how we make decisions as a society and put those decisions into effect. That seems like one of the least stupid things I can think of.

> wasn't like that before my time

As the great William Martin Joel once said, "We didn't start the fire. It was always burning, since the world's been turning."

> you probably dont know that once in the country it was acceptable to have differing political opinions

"acceptable to have differing political opinions" is not the same thing as "all political opinions were acceptable". The former was true, and still is. The later never was true, and never will be. But supporters of deeply unpopular opinions always try to pretend those two things are the same.

Good choice in using the city hall for Buffalo, although the entrance shown is entirely made up.

On the other hand, I can’t tell what St. Petersburg is supposed to be. Is that the Dali Museum?

> They are concerned that the German culture get erased within a few generations, because to many people with a too different cultural background enter the society.

That's how German culture as it is was created in the first place. And that's how the future German culture will be created, ad infinitum.

> we will share precisely none of experiences

How miserable that sounds. And how limiting.
