  1. But, Emil, the German government supports the Ukrainian nazi's right now. How to deal with that? The same holds for the Dutch (government), the Belgian (government), etc. The German's accepted collective guilt for the events in the WWII by a smart American mass psychological war against Germans and germany after 1945 that also involved "the Frankfurter Schule". Presently, the European countries support the Israëli actions in Gaza and the Westbank, by looking the other way. Just like they did in WWII, except for a few remarkable and brave individuals. Or is it just our government? Self esteem is fine. The Dutch acquired self esteem for hundreds of years by being masters over the fate of other people. It is a difficult subject. The Americans committed large scale genocide to claim the USA. Should the present Americans feel guilty? Should they acknowledge that the continuity of the state institutions of the USA has been involved in mass murder, treachery, trickery to acquire the land or even Greenland. Indeed, what we call our culture, Rembrandt van Rijn, Frans Hals, Ruysdaal, van Gogh, etc were also just the achievements of those individual men. The great composers that you mention, who doesn't love to listen to them, were also just individual persons not preoccupied with killing the other, no, by their nature, by their skills, by their creativity, by their hard work and discipline they extracted the music from their deepest feeling. How come we appropriate their achievements as our culture? Which I do. You touch on a tricky subject. Men is a herd animal, except for those examples just given and many more. It is a tricky subject.
