"A little history for ya, superior being"
my guess is you know "a little history" but not enough.
the Nazis were inspired by American attitudes on eugenics and antisemitism although that's not been in short supply anywhere Europeans have been for a long time.
America's greatest automotive industrialist purchased a newspaper specifically to publish screeds against "the International Jew".
All Ford dealershps were required to sell subscriptions to that newspaper, the Dearborn Independent.
"you stood up for the holocaust by saying Americans would have done the same"
pointing out hypocrisy is not excusing genocide but in recent years too many have had a puzzling difficulty with both concepts.

"many Japanese Citizens were interred in Camps"
those were AMERICAN citizens, ffs.
many proudly white Americans spied for the Japanese government. it's been stated that the leadership had been frustrated by the difficulty of getting any Americans of Japanese descent to act as spies.
"just submerged a bit below the surface, ready to be enacted again when you get the chance"
let's see you get all high & mighty about 1619 & the history of black Americans since.
are you aware that the US Army wasn't officially desegregated until 1948, a full 3 years after Germany's surrender?

i'd like to see video of the vehicles passing the same driving test on public roads that would be given to a person.
if they didn't it's not a license it's a permission slip

i truly despise Autoplay that I can't disable and Infinite Scroll. Give me a pagination option please.
And tell Zuck that FB auto-refresh is a terrible idea.

to get to that point you have to pass exams and obtain a driver's license.
haven't been in traffic court in a very, very long time but I don't recall any *unlicensed* driver getting a pass on "simple mistakes"

"Citizens of those countries willingly staffed teh camps, and many fought on Germany's side"
Many Americans would have done the same.

stand your ground

"Electric cars if anything are going to make smog worse. They're heavier and they burn through tires faster because of it"
decades of switching to SUVs & pickups already did that and some of us have been trying to get better mass transit everywhere and better urban design but "MAH FREEDUMS!!"
the same very fine people who are making a fuss about EV tire wear would rather piss broken glass than do anything to change.
were it up to them we'd never have implemented catalytic converters which were derided as expensive, not very effective and causing increased fuel consumption

holy ****, is that Bill Nye??

"I'd think a EU citizen..."
wrong again

One of us "...didn't understand that"...this case is a lawsuit between 2 CORPORATIONS for whom "pecuniary extraction" is the norm.
then there's this:
"I suppose the difference is that in Sweden, the 2 billion will go elsewhere. Or will the Swedish citizens get checks?"

you typed that sentence without reading it? that's quite a skill.
putting the amount of the "pecuniary extraction" and mentioning the country & speculating how the funds might be disbursed implies you thought it WAS a class action suit.

if you didn't think that why the fuck would you bring up US class action when there's so much precedent for gross "pecuniary extraction" between American corporations?
for example, since Google is mentioned there was the 2010 suit brought by Oracle seeking $9B or about $14B nowadays.
or since the Unix ownership issue is once again rising from the dead, there's the 2003 SCO vs IBM for $5B ($9B today).

as an adolescent i was taught that someone who'll do anything for money is a prostitute.
it was more than a decade before i realized that lawyers are a better fit for that description

PJ ran Groklaw for a decade, shuttering it in 2013.
in 2010 she received a Pioneer award from the EFF for blogging about legal issues.
In 2005 someone tried to track her down and reportedly found her mother in CT but not PJ herself.

"Zuck blamed it on anonymous "top execs." We'll see if they get fired."
Between this and the multibillion dollar VR fiasco to produce an inferior clone of Second Life, it's Zuck who should be fired.
But given how Meta is structured, not even being found in bed with a dead girl AND a live boy can force him out.
which reminds me that it's already been 5 years since Lousiana's perennial polittical scoundrel Edwin Edwards shuffled off this mortal coil

"thinking it's normal to carry credit card balances at 30% interest, generation after generation falls for the same scam"
that's a failure of education. we've done a terrible job of teaching basic math to the under 40s who struggle to make change for everyday transactions. some years back i handed a $50 to a young lady to pay for a purchase of exactly $17.
she panicked when she realized she'd misplaced her phone so Siri wasn't available to help and went digging through a drawer for a calculator which to the great relief of both of us was solar-powered.

in the USA there are thresholds for which dealers must file with the IRS.
