      I mean… you don’t think they feel a little guilty about what they’ve done to Jewish people in the past?

        Pretty fucking dumb to endorse Genocide to the tune of ~1 billion because of guilt about conducting a Genocide…

          It is dumb, yes, but humans aren’t always rational about such emotionally intense things as that scale of national guilt

            No, this is an extremely rational colonialist decision made by big German business interests.

              The rational being selling stuff gives you money, i dont think they really care who dies, as long as there is someone left to be their customer.

            I am from the USA so that is a totally, utterly perposterous idea to me, my bad I didn’t realize Europe is so much less civilized than USA.

          I didn’t say it was a smart decision. Emotions can make people do irrational things. And if they feel that badly about what happened in the past, I could see this hard overcorrection.

        They ain’t exactly rushing to defend transsexual people worldwide. Way more than just Jewish people were killed in the Holocaust. They only feel guilty about the Jewish ones?

          I mean fair point but you only really hear about the Jewish victims. Of course there were others as well but most of the things I’ve seen about the holocaust focus on Germany and Jewish people.

            That’s the thing: the holocaust was not Germany’s only genocide. People only focus on the holocaust because it’s still technically in living memory and because Germany had streamlined its techniques to the point that they were able to commit genocide on a scale the world wasn’t expecting.

          The international public was always much more concerned about the Jews, that is obviously going to shape the German perception about what they should feel guilty about.

                  Yet more than half of the voters actively support the genocide In the voting booth; I’d take this number with a grain of salt

                  OK? I’m not disputing that. But I’m talking about history and the international public opinion, especially international public opinion in the decades immediately after WW2, not the opinion of the German population or the fact that it’s pretty easy to argue that Israel itself is antisemitic.
