@sharkeysharks@PolymarketSport Realistically Mexico retains a biological advantage from training at high altitude whether their venue is banned or not. And weather, climate and geography are always going to be factors in international sports competitions.
@Fanof1911s@AughyX@EdKrassen Yes, the American and German eagle are unrelated. Symbols were drawn from Germanic and Indian culture. Saying Hitler drew nothing from American history is absurd. Jim Crow, American eugenics, reservations all inspired them. He explicitly compared Lebensraum to Manifest Destiny.
@fenris300@Fanof1911s@AughyX@EdKrassen The irony is that the requirement of being less strict about race due to widespread recent intermarriage shows German society as a whole was clearly more tolerant of Jews leading up to Nazi rule than the American society was of their own racial minorities.
@fenris300@Fanof1911s@AughyX@EdKrassen Yeah I mean it was definitely an issue of practicality but my point was just that United States was very literally a racist slave state engaged in a deliberate campaign to dispossess American Indians of land through any means necessary.
@AughyX@EdKrassen I mean, it was a deeply racist slave state in the beginning stages of a genocidal campaign to clear the land for white settlers at the time... Hitler saw Manifest Destiny and the reservation system as the blueprint for Lebensraum and concentration camps.
@Gerashchenko_en I love when people get so close to understanding the point but miss it entirely. Like when climate deniers see a 'once in a century' disaster and say "This isn't normal... it's unnatural... It's man-made... Bill Gates is controlling the weather."
