    It’s so weird. There’s still so much shame in Germany for what they did during the second world war, yet now they are actively supporting genocide again and have propaganda laws concerning Israel, as Israel and zionism are now under the anti-antisemitic law. Well done Germany, I guess you never change.

        Germany is ashamed for committing genocide 80 years ago yet now they are doing it again by sending weapons to Israel. And they are covering it up by criminalizing news about it.

        I’m not saying their guilt is the reason for doing it again, I’m saying it makes no sense as they always said they would do anything to prevent it to ever happen again.

      There’s no shame, there’s guilt pride. They are jumping right to that, not giving you an option of telling them they haven’t repented yet or maybe that they are repenting the wrong way, or not repenting at all.

      It seems really rare to meet an ashamed German.

      They are not ashamed of Namibia, just like Belgium is not ashamed of Kongo. That whole “genocidal colonialism is past us” thing was wishful thinking, it was quickly assumed to be already fulfilled and now Europeans judge you for reminding them what their ancestors did and what their nations are doing now, just by Israel’s hands or Turkey’s or someone else.
