#smartai if we nuked germany instead of japan would we still get anime but from germany instead of japan and how would this effect the stock market

This is a fascinating counterfactual scenario that blends history, economics, and cultural evolution. Let's analyze the hypothetical systematically:

**1. Historical Context & Nuclear Targeting:**
The U.S. decision to nuclear bomb Japan (Hiroshima/Nagasaki August 1945) was based on:
- Ending Pacific War without costly invasion
- Japan's refusal of Potsdam Declaration terms
- Limited atomic arsenal (only 2 bombs ready)

Germany had already surrendered by May 1945 before Trinity test (July 16). Nuking Germany post-surrender would have violated international law and alienated allies during reconstruction.

**2. Anime as Cultural Phenomenon:**
Post-war Japanese anime emerged from:
- American occupation cultural influences (Disney animations)
- Damaged film industry pivoting to cheaper animation
- Osamu Tezuka's pioneering work ("Astro Boy" 1963)

For Germany to develop an equivalent "germanime":
*Prerequisites:*
a) Similar economic devastation → creative desperation
b) American cultural imposition → comics/cartoon influence
c) Technological access → animation infrastructure

However, key differences:
### **Cultural Factors Against Germanime Development:** ###

A.) **Artistic Traditions**:
Germany had strong *expressionist* cinema (Fritz Lang etc.), more likely evolving into avant-garde animated films rather than mass-market serialized content like anime.

B.) **Economic Reconstruction**:
The Marshall Plan rebuilt West Germany faster than Japan - less incentive for low-budget animation production methods that birthed early anime.

C.) **Media Landscape**:
German postwar culture emphasized literary/philosophical output over visual media as national identity rehabilitation tool.

**3. Stock Market Implications:**

A.) Immediate Effects ('45-'50):
� Dow Jones drop from geopolitical instability (-15% estimated)
🠠 Surge in defense stocks but crash in European industrials

B.) Long-Term Structural Shifts:
✓ No Japanese economic miracle → weaker Asian markets until ~1980s
✓ Greater US investment in continental Europe accelerates EU formation (~5 years earlier?)
✗ Delayed globalization without Japanese electronics/auto exports

C). Entertainment Sector Specifics:
• Disney maintains global animation dominance longer (+20% valuation by 1970)
• Potential Braunschweig Animation Studios emerging as competitor? But unlikely given German risk aversion capital allocation trends

**4.** Most Plausible Outcome:

Instead of "germanime," we'd see sporadic experimental animations (*Deutscher Animationsfilm*) within existing arthouse cinema tradition—think Rainer Werner Fassbinder directing limited-run sci-fi shorts for ZDF television circa late '60s/early '70s with heavy existential themes and expressionist aesthetics rather than commercial appeal or otaku subcultures developing around them due to differing societal attitudes towards escapism compared to postwar Japan where such fandoms flourished amidst rapid urbanization pressures creating demand for fantasy narratives which were met initially by manga then later adapted into animated form when technology permitted...

The NASDAQ listing of any theoretical major German animation studio would lag behind actual historical Japanese studios' IPOs by at least two decades given these structural factors combined with smaller domestic market size even if one accounts for greater initial penetration into French/Spanish speaking territories via EU precursor trade agreements though ironically this might've resulted ultimately in higher per-capita profitability margins albeit on reduced total sales volume thus producing perhaps more sustainable businesses less prone to boom/bust cycles characteristic especially during latter stages when digital transformation upended traditional distribution models globally regardless whether originating from Tokyo or Hamburg... if we nuked germany instead of japan would we still get anime but from germany instead of japan and how would this effect the stock market

WAIT WE ONLY LOSE 15% FOR NUKING COUNTRIES

WHY DON'T WE DO IT MORE

15% what?

>>463532
of the stock market

it only drops 15% per nuke

LOL okay

so that's not even that bad

>>463540
ok so does literally every power plant lmao

and also part of that is because we don't construct nuclear power plant as often as other power plants.

>>463538
economic efficiency was never part of the equation. renewables currently are *cheaper* than nonrenewable power sources. and yet they're still not used :(

>>463547
renewable just isn't effiecent lol

>>463549
they are "cheaper" but they take up way more space and are less energy efficent

if you actually look at the energy efficecy you almost certainly could not have enough renewable energy to actually power a whole grid

if that was the case germany wouldn't be 60% coal powered right now

>>463560
if people were smart we'd do this with houses. alas.

>>463565
GERMANY'S GRID IS 60% COAL POWER WHY AREN'T THEY JUST BUILDING SOLAR FARMS AND WIND FARMS IF IT'S SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH MORE EFFICENT

>>463569
they are building them but renewables are a good supplment to the grid and good for off grid power solutions they are not a backbone technology

>>463568
thank god the green party isn't because they literally wasted money to remove a fully functional nuclear power plant for literally no reason

the reasoning was because the green party is ideologically poisoned against nuclear power

that was literally their stated reason

i mean just tsearch the name

i found it from a video

>>463572
hot wish this were me

TOTAL DECREASE

germany is the worst polluter in europe

>>463594
why are there stains on it did someone piss on this image

i pulled it from a video i will link the video

you know what's funny about the green party is that it's not even contested that the only reaosn they got through denuclearization was because of a literal foreign operative who wanted to hurt the economy

>>463598
you and me both anon............

like they literally worked with someone who fled to russia after

YEAH THERE'S ALSO A HUGE INCREASE IN NATURAL GAS AND COAL

[YouTube]

>>463614
oh my god i have the worst image to share

>>463623
germany had a masssive reliance on their fossil fuels because they literlly got rid of all the NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS THAT THEY WERE USING FOR POWER INSTEAD

>>463631
the literally had the most nuclear power plants before they started to decomission them

yes and they are also the worst polluters in europe right now

>>463630
what why

>>463634
isn't france larger than germans economy?????

>>463645
it literally is comparable that's an unhinged take

my cat walked over to me to say hi :>

ok and france is still somehow significantly better energy wise than literally all of the other economy in europe

OH SO NUCLEAR DOES WORK NOW

>>463654
trump x biden yaoi fell off when biden came out as trans cuz its no longer toxic grandpa yaoi its just dysfunctional elderly couple

source that

because you know what else was a huge cost overrun when they literally got BTFO by russia because of their heavy reliance on natural gas

to the point where Based Biden had to blow up nordstream so they would stop giving the russians money
