Germany needs to apologize to all other EU nations (besides Fr*nce) right now.
All other nations such as Spain, Italy, etc. were forced to hollow out their industries in favor of Germany through the loss of independent monetary policy, Schengen causing heavy brain drain, unified market, etc etc.
Europe suffered so much just so that Germany can keel over and die at the first speedbump without even pretending to find a solution? It’s not just America. Germany will have to answer for their crimes against Europe as well.
We were exploiting the Euro-zone and now burn it all on the altar of transatlanticism. And all of that with a moronic smugness.
I hate it here. Nowadays German liberal elite has developed a disgusting kind of exceptionalism with a vibe akin to “we are the most humble people in the whole world.”
Ironically having been the perpetrators of WWII and the Holocaust nowadays reinforces the idea that “we are righteous”.
We have transformed German guilt into a twisted sense of pride, where our “culture of remembrance” is a sign of our superiority.
(Ofc this culture of remembranc is inherently white supremacist, it’s a different issue)
As if a genocidal holocaust phase is a part of any countries development, other countries just haven’t had theirs yet.
So naturally we know better than these “pre-genocide” societies, right?
These days we explain Jewish people what constitutes antisemitism, we explain to the world what constitutes a genocide …
Ofc there is more, we forge ourselves against the US and Israel (incidentally both post-genocide societies) bc it allows us to never question ourselves. Our lesson from WWII, our “humility”, is to accept these 2 entities as our sole judges, as long as they will deem us good we are good, no questions asked
