Reply to comment by Scottland83 in TIL about Operation Bernhard. During WWII, Germany attempted to bring about the collapse of the British economy by forging ≈£130 million in British bank notes. The notes are considered among the most perfect counterfeits ever produced, and are very difficult to differentiate from legitimate notes. by rkadeYT
Imagine if Nazis delayed hating Jews for a couple years, just enough to trap more nuclear physicists to work with Heisenberg.
What about the universe where Hitler cured cancer? The answer is Don’t think about it.
Curing cancer is Fucking easy as hell. It’s not killing you to do it that’s tough.
There's no money in curing cancer...only treating it
That's is very untrue
Except it’s not. Chemo can and usually is a treatment required multiple times. And it costs thousands of dollars. If the cure existed it would kill recurring customers (not literally). There have been feasible treatments for cancer for decades but big pharmaceutical companies do what they can to prevent its exposure to the public.
I guarantee you that a cure for cancer would make the inventor rich.
Who’s gonna buy it?
People with cancer.
And who’s gonna distribute it? Mass produce it?
Same as the cures for chlamydia, rabies, syphilis, tuberculosis, etc.
There is no cure for any of the things you listed. All are treated either with anti-biotics or penicillin, which are repetitive treatments that make lots of money, or in the case of rabies there is no cure. There is a vaccine that is painful and only a one time treatment, and are only administered after someone has been possibly exposed because of how not only expensive it is, but painful as well.
All you did was prove my point. Big pharma isn’t going to invest into a one time cure all because it doesn’t make them as much money as prolonged treatments like chemo and anti-biotics do.
Prove that there’s a cancer cure.
Prove there isn’t 🤷♂️
See how easy it is to say shit like that? You made an argument that big pharma would indeed fund a cure, and I debunked every single one of the examples you used. Hell one of them doesn’t even have a normal treatment.
I can’t prove there isn’t a cure and that was never my claim. You claimed there is a cure and can only Gish gallop when put on the spot.
The best alternate universe would be one where Hitler had enough artistic talent to make a living painting movie posters and magazine advertisements.
If Hitler was around today he would be a hentai artist
Have you heard of The Iron Dream?
Don't tell me what to do! You're not my real mom!
But seriously, do think about it. Recent resurgence makes it clear they'd be happy to try at Holocaust again, and it's predictable they'd be slightly more tactical about it.
Who exactly are you talking about when you say "they'd be happy to try again"?
Couldn't likely have happened - hating Jews (and the associated fear that was manufactured in the populace) was fundamental to the Nazi rise to power.
Right. It's just saying that the Nazis could have done better... if they weren't the Nazis. Of course. But if they weren't nationalists/racists/antisemites, then they couldn't have won the war, because they wouldn't have started one.
Observe: Germany today. Not perfect, but economically wealthy, respected for their industry, and Berlin is one of most desirable cities for Jewish refugees.
Not sure what you're getting at.
Germany without Nazis in power in awesome.
I never said it wasn't. Love Germany, love Austria.
Waltuh…
