@Father.of.Red.China15 what did you expect if chose to live in Neukölln and are a coward? I didn’t have any problems there myself but it’s virtually the worst place in Germany to live. There are so many better places, Naumburg for example is lovely without any of those issues. And school shootings are still exceptionally rare in Germany, unlike the USA where they have them virtually every week

@g.f.w.6402 the man said intellectually 😂 you are the definition of a try hard pickme who’s too much of a coward to say what he actually thinks. You wouldn’t know intellectualism if it shat on your face

@Father.of.Red.China15 generation of new Germans making sense? You could start by making sense yourself. Sorry, I’m not with you?

@g.f.w.6402 officially 11 000 Kenyans were killed in the May May uprising, including over 1000 that were hanged. I’m sure the number is probably greater than this, and I’m certain that the camps were used for torture and even to kill some of their inmates. However, equating them to the German industrial massacre of 6 million Jews is nonsense. There is no evidence that tens of thousands died in the camps in Kenya, but even if they did, it is not the same as the attempt to exterminate an entire ethnic group from Europe. The ironic thing about the Holocaust is that not only did it consume vast amounts of resources that could have been put to the war effort, but it also reduced Germany’s manpower by 6 million, who could have contributed substantially to the war and would have probably been the difference to Germany winning.

@g.f.w.6402 anyone who quotes Wikipedia, particularly on history, is an unimaginable fool of epic proportions. Wikipedia I’d highly subjective, contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate, and is only fit be used for names and dates. How can you trust a source page that has over 400 edits within a year, much of which is people taking out content they don’t agree with and others putting it back in again. Wikipedia is for the stupid and unimaginative. Please do not mention it again if you want to be taken seriously.

@g.f.w.6402 “exploitation and abuse of the Holocaust “? Your Nazi credentials have been confirmed.
1
@g.f.w.6402 the poles weren’t ‘Germany’s people’ and Britain declared war on Germany when it invaded Poland. Invading Poland started World War Two. Go back to reading Wikipedia articles you’ve written, you are a Nazi apologist

@g.f.w.6402 “everyone got what they deserved” yeah, you’re a Nazi

@saba1030 all that is true and yet the kaiser still have austro-Hungary a blank cheque to start shelling Serbia, without which it wouldn’t have done it, and then promptly proceeded to invade Belgium and France, executing the schnieffen plan that it had been building infrastructure for and testing for over two years. This was a premeditated invasion, one that was wholly unjustified just like the identical invasions they carried out a quarter of a century later more successfully. It’s rather disconcerting to find so many Germans justifying their county’s invasions of Europe just as Germany is starting to re-arm.

@Weltanschauungstheoretiker if you can’t give us citations for these supposed quotes they’re all obvious neo Nazi lies. Let’s see what you come back with
1
@Weltanschauungstheoretiker and fyi I’m Irish, and have been lucky enough to have enjoyed the benefit of America’s finest dentists
1
@saba1030 you’ve clearly never read any Fischer. He’s a prominent German historian. I would have thought he was considered essential reading for Germans. The fact he clearly isn’t doesn’t bode well for Europe’s future
1
@Weltanschauungstheoretiker no, I just worked there for a few years. How are those citations for your alleged quotes coming along? Not got any? So they’re just neo Nazis lies then
1
@Weltanschauungstheoretiker the fact you think professor Clark calls Germany the bad guys shows how poorly read it are and how little you know. I’m still waiting for those citations for the supposed quotes you listed.
1
@Weltanschauungstheoretiker the only thing you put together is Nazis good. Still not got any citations for your bullshit quotes? You can’t even quote historians correctly
1
@saba1030 I know from personal experience that all Germans are not like that, not unless they hide really it well. However there is an increasing preponderance of Germans who are like that, and have decided to stop hiding it. This comment section is full of them, and their Nazi sympathies are all too obvious, even if they’re too cowardly to admit them outright. Hiding from confronting the responsibility of your past just encourages them. No German born post war should feel any guilt for the actions of the previous generations, but they should not allow them to hide from their responsibility what happened. You can call it German bashing but that’s just not accurate. It’s a simple statement of facts that Germany invaded France via Belgium twice without provocation, had a large responsibility in stating the First World War and definitely started the second, even if the treaty of Versailles laid the groundwork for the conditions that led to the rise of Hilter. Blaming Versailles for everything that happened from 1939 onwards is not acceptable, and neither is refusing to acknowledge the German blank cheque given to Austro-Hungary and is invasion of Belgium and France as critical in the outbreak of World War One.

@saba1030 when Germany invade Europe again in 20 years will you be blaming the collapse of the EU and the war in Ukraine to justify it?
1
@Weltanschauungstheoretiker you can’t give me citations for those quotes which proves they are Nazi lies.
1
@Weltanschauungstheoretiker you don’t even read books about German history or know anything about prominent German historians
1
@saba1030 I find it strange that modern Germans feel aggrieved that their county’s leaders from over 100 years ago are called out on their terrible decisions. I find Germans far too deferential to their leaders, similar to the french. You both need to take a leaf out of Ireland or Britain’s or Australia’s books. Look at the British example with May, Boris and Truss, for example. They are not afraid to call out their leader’s failures.

@Weltanschauungstheoretiker get those citations soon little girl

@pascualkl7204 no he doesn’t. He emphasise a total lack of diplomacy to go alongside the military build up, and makes note of the complete ineffectualness of Germany’s dreadnoughts and the waste of resources they encompassed. Why would anyone choose to lose a war so badly? There was no earthly reason for Germany to give Astro-Hungary a blank cheque and then immediately invade Belgium and France. The fact that the idea that Germany was entirely justified in invading France through Belgium is so common in Germany is troubling to say the least. By the same logic is Russia entirely justified in invading Ukraine? Was the USA and U.K. entirely justified in invading Iraq? How about Vietnam?
1
@pascualkl7204 where is that taught in 9th grade, Nazi Germany?
1
@pascualkl7204 yeah I can tell you’ve never read Clarke or Fischer, much less attended any of their lectures. Stick to baseball and wrestling

@achimwokeschtla7582 tell me what’s been happening in Yemen for 5 years. Tell me how many civilians have been killed in Yemen as opposed to Ukraine. Tell me how many Iraqis were killed during their invasion and occupation. And if Russia is threatening to use nukes maybe we’d better wake up and listen
1
@achimwokeschtla7582 it’s cool when we do it, but it’s a problem when they do it
1
@pascualkl7204 those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it
1
@pascualkl7204 aha, a bootlicker with a sanctimonious superior than thou attitude hiding behind his keyboard. We’re coming for you
1
@pascualkl7204 truth hurts huh, laugh it up snowflake
1
@achimwokeschtla7582 who says so, the media? Yes, it’s very important that we all think exactly what the corporate owed media tell us to think. The war in Yemen has been going on for over 5 years and is still going on today, Saudi Arabia and the USA are bombing schools, hospitals and school buses, and have killed 400 000 civilians including 100 000 children, but because your media doesn’t tell you to care, you don’t. Personally I have my own brain and my own opinions, and I don’t rely on the media or governments to tell me what to think.

@KiKi-mo2qh I don’t know, I’m not sure we’ll survive the next two decades in anything recognisable to the state we see today, huge changes are on the way and when they happen the most powerful nations usually do something for their own benefit, and Germany is the most powerful nation in Europe. If the eu collapses I can see Germany going into eu countries “for their own benefit” or to “demilitarise them” it only takes one generation to change the mindset of a nation, and nationalism is on the rise all over Europe and the world, and the EU is actually exacerbating it
1
@torsteinnorbertson that’s exactly what chamberlain said to Churchill
1
@torsteinnorbertson have you never heard of mitteneuropa? What do you think the eu is all about?
1
@danielkaner5156 tell that to the people in Northern Ireland or Israel, funny how much the present and future is shaped by the past
1
@torsteinnorbertson I’m afraid you’re rather ignorant about these things, I suggest you do some reading about subjects if you wish to be informed

@torsteinnorbertson Germany has committed to spending €100bln euros on rearming for the next ten years, which will give it the largest and most up to date military in Europe. The Mitteleuropa plan was to achieve an economic and cultural hegemony over Central Europe by the German Empire and subsequent economic and financial exploitation of this region combined with direct annexations,making of puppet states, and the creation of puppet states for a buffer between Germany and Russia. The issue of Central Europe was taken by German thinker Friedrich Naumann in 1915 in his work Mitteleuropa. According to his thought, this part of Europe was to become a politically and economically integrated bloc subjected to German rule.

@erics1140 Americans don’t even care when their own children get shot in schools every week. The American government and media have brainwashed them to allow their Zionist masters to control every aspect of their lives, even their minds. And it’s so successful that they don’t care, even when they’re told. MK Ultra and operation mockingbird are in full effect.
