Sweet.

I do not buy your orgy of hate either. People like you tend to push everything into a simple black and white pattern. On this side we have the good heros and on the other side are the child-eating monsters. It is somehow a religion of hate. Guilt as a heritage. Guilt ad infinitum. I have bad news for you: This world is a littlebit more complex.

To tell Michael that he "as a child of nazis" is being responsible for the holocaust is simply ridiculous. Just as ridicolous as if I would make you responsible for the historical failures of your country.

Do you know what the problem in the ideas of the staunch common nazis was? They never learned to look between the black and white pattern. They never saw that there were many more colors. They only could think in two dimensions: Enemy or friend. They were really convinced of their intellectual BS.

This problem is not limited to nazi Germany. There are many more historical examples: Just think about the witch hunt in Salem/USA, Robbespierre and the Jacobin Club, Lenin and Trotzki, Mao and the culture revolution, Pol Pot, the Taliban etc. etc. etc.. They all were addicted to their dumb and crazy ideas. They all believed that people who are slightly different are monsters who should be put to death immediately.

Just think about it.

"The child of Nazis [meaning Germans] should be apologetic, not try to rewrite history like they some how saved the world from Germany."

Your response:
"To tell Michael that he "as a child of Nazis" is being responsible for the holocaust is simply ridiculous."

Give me a break. Michael is trying to say that Austria gave Hitler his power because it's his place of birth and that the most loyal Nazis were Austrians. He continues to shift the blame away from the Germans and toward the Austrians.

You say I'm creating an "orgy of hate", yet I feel like I'm denying Michael the freedom of shifting the sins of the Germans onto the Austrians. No hate intended, but no love either.
