Just for balance, I can see how you could think shipping slaves from Africa to America via the Pacific and then the North Sea (of all places?) was unlikely. Maybe this person just isn’t aware of the Atlantic Ocean.

Garfield and Jon at hospital. Garfield, his pipe lit.
As a Brit, I always assumed the American system worked like that because of freedom or something.
Also, it was a lot less insidious - the crazy stuff was a lot easier to detect.
Granted, stuff like Time Cube Theory usually ended up incorporating antisemitic and anti-islamic tropes, but you’d have to wade through literally pages of red flags before you got there.
Now this kind of stuff is more sneaky - it presents as more reasonable, which makes it much more dangerous.
The Golden Age was before Web 2.0
Before just anybody could easily post content, there was a barrier to entry - you had to learn how to put HTML together. Sure, it wasn’t too hard, but it kept people like mad relatives from posting their racist nonsense for the world to see.

Based on absolutely nothing, my guess would be from the French pronunciation with a bit of a vowel-shift.
If you’re getting old like me, you might remember Harry Enfield’s Mr Cholmondley-Warner sketches. (And if you’re not, definitely look them up!)
Ha, honest truth!
About 30 minutes away is the similarly-named Cholmondeston (Chum-stn).
These two places are in Cheshire. There’s also the always confusing Wynbunbury (Winbry), and the birthplace of Lewis Carroll, Daresbury (Darsbry).
For the international folk who might not know, “Cholmondeley” is pronounced “Chumly”
Segue - Seg? Segyoo? No, it’s Segway.
German?
Because continuous treatment is much more profitable than a cure.
So you honestly believe that if executive compensation was more modest, they would simply shut down their companies?
And if that did happen, that nobody else would jump into the gap in the market?
And guess what I found when I opened my phone up? That’s right, wires. The thing is filled with wires.
If you came here to make friends, this is not the way to do it.
Welcome to your doom!
