Truth be told, once I made myself live without extensions for a week, I realized I never needed them in the first place. Gnome has a way of making you discover a slightly different way of doing the same thing that in hindsight just works better with the overall system than an extension would.
Not missing it, just not addressing it. The topic wasn’t of particular interest from that angle. Not to me anyway.
It’s not that I dislike the word liberated, it’s that it’s completely inaccurate in this case, and those kinds of inaccuracies do have consequences, however slight at first.
Defeated is a good word. Invaded is another. Liberated isn’t.
Let’s get one thing straight, Germany was not liberated, it was defeated.
Of course we can say not all… But that’s a sociological tautology.
It’s exactly this kind of west = good silent premise that’s making us miss what’s beginning to brew over there again now that things are getting tough. Just like it did last time.
I’m not saying Germans are evil, but we need to be careful with this kind of subtle revisionism. I suspect you didn’t even say it intentionally - it’s just a phrase that’s often used around you, and that’s what makes it doubly dangerous.
Nothing against you man, I’m just a tad disenchanted with the current state of things is all.
