As I said in another thread, “We truly did castrate these people in WWII.”
To be clear I am not calling Nazis ‘good’ or anything of the sort. With that said, I agree fully. We basically wiped out the best men they had and left them to reproduce with the dregs. Mentally and physically.
But the same happened across Europe really as the result of 2 wars. And that is why they are what they are today. They mostly had the dregs and the dregs to learn from. Anf govern/rule them. The few good men remaining were overwhelmed.
UNFORTUNATELY we ended up in a similar boat. We didn’t lose all our good men but we did allow too many of our dregs into positions of power, influence and control after the wars ended. Fat, happy and screwed.
Should have left a couple of German alpha males alive and set them up in a brothel, with all hope they would reproduce.
I think it is more the case that given their warlike past, Germans overcompensate by bending too far before breaking. It’s a function, most likely, of Western Civ.
The Japanese mostly embrace their ancestral repugnance.
