Where do you get "jewish people" from? It's an odd but also very interesting conclusion of yours. Do you feel that the jewish people are implicated when someone says "the most unhinged and narcissistic people" and "perpetrated that endless abuse upon the German people"?

What else would you call what has been done to the German people for 80 years now and seemingly for the foreseeable future as they are very psychologically and emotionally broken people from the perpetual "blood libel" abuse that has been perpetrated against them and their children from the earliest memory on throughout all their life? Is that healthy, to forever fixate and obsess and bring up and accuse people of things that happened several generations before they were born, and perpetrated by very specific and limited people who were punished for it? Do you think the German people are uniquely due for the most utterly evil and vile practices of collective guilt?

Since you seem to assume the "jewish people" qualify as being referenced with "the most unhinged and narcissistic people", why would you think that people are collectively guilty, not even to mention across generations?

What we witnessed in Gaza is an evil that is far worse than what was perpetrated 85 years ago, will you also collectively shame and abuse and berate all jewish people of the world with constant references of how they deliberately played games of shooting starving children in different body parts for points?

You really should reexamine your messed up perspective if you want to believe yourself a good person. No people deserve collective guilt, unless they are collectively engaged in something. What humanity should make of the polling in Israel and the USA among Jewish communities about their views of whether a genocide was happening, whether it should happen, and whether there are any innocent people in Gaza, is something that may need to be reexamined. At least the Nazis lied to their populations about what was going on, because it was a totalitarian dictatorship (as you were told all your life too). What is to be made of the fact that Israel is a democracy and a very civilly engaged and politically aware democracy?

Maybe think about some of those things instead of just reading with Automatica response tricks you have been trained to perform.

I'm lost. Can you be more explicit about which "unhinged and narcissistic people" you mean? If not the Jews, was that supposed to refer to the German ruling party? German business elites? Other Europeans? NATO? Foreign immigrants to Germany? I really have no idea what you are getting at.

> "what has been done to the German people for 80 years now and seemingly for the foreseeable future as they are very psychologically and emotionally broken people"

Germany is a highly developed and successful economy which is a center of power and wealth in Europe. Its population is well educated, healthy, with a high standard of living, and generally content. From my position in the United States (so: not an expert), I don't see much evidence that modern Germans are held responsible for the events of 80–90 years go. Maybe you can include more detail for those of us who lack the context to guess what you are talking about. Who is it who has done this supposed damage to the German people, and what precisely do you think they did?

Can you elaborate about what you think makes Germans "psychologically and emotionally broken"? Do you mean because they have been economically dominating less-developed nations of Europe, and you think they should instead aim for more continent-wide integration and development? Or like, you were hoping for a German military invasion of Austria or France?

You seem to have mistaken me for a supporter of the Israeli government. You may want to redirect your misplaced lecture someplace else.

		Yes, I understand you don't see it. That is precisely part of the effect from being psychologically and emotionally broken. But just mull this over, why did the "German" government just last week plunder "modern Germans" to pay another €1 billion to the supposed 200,000 remaining holocaust survivors, when they've already pay €90 billion since 1945 for things none of them did? Or did you do the holocaust and therefore you should pay? Another point, I you are not psychologically broken, why would you otherwise tolerate a foreign government maintain 40 colonies within your boundaries with ~200,000 of their colonists? It's the level of rationalization and excuse making that is common among abuse victims, like battered wives. But like I said, I understand why you don't understand it, even though every movie and every video game you have ever watched has some kind of reference of or to nazis and often some belittlement of germans. Why is no other war ever used to belittle and degrade any other people? The US committed war crimes from 2001 to 2021. Far longer than the Nazi regime even existed in total, not to mention Vietnam, which is celebrated in many ways and people who participated in it are looked up to, and those are far more recent conflicts... yet only Germans have been abused as they have been for 80 years. I just heard a German/Nazi reference from a boomer the other day. Of course he is an idiot, but that's someone that was not even alive when the war was going on at all, yet here he is just parroting the things he was trained to do.
