AfD politician says Germany should stop atoning for Nazi crimes

Reading all this bullshit people got taught in education makes sense.

Im always seeing faggots on reddit/twitter etc, to the most tiny thing (eg., "DRUMPF said he wants to deports illegal immigrants") say shit like "this is how it begins". Like it might not sound like a huge deal but these tiny things suddenly turn into a huge snowball and lead to HITLER.

One of these days, every living German will have been born after 1945. Something will happen then.

Amazing how much the actions of Hitler keep on rippling and reverberating even until today. A traumatized world.

Lynchings were a far smaller number than the number of supposedly justified killings that have occurred since then, and usually subjected real criminals to mob justice; they were not victims of crimes of themselves like the subject of an armed robbery or racial revenge killings. No more than 3500 negroes are said to have been lynched, a number that would probably surprise people who compare the Holocaust and Jim Crow to each other. I mention this because even a basic interest in history puts you at odds with any given social issue or foreign policy narrative today. You have to absorb a LOT of "social science" in order to neuter history, which amounts here to prewar history existing at all. (In Germany even nationalistic types believe or rather would like to believe they live in some kind of inheritor to Washington's America, rather than from their own tradition.) Although, a basic timeline of postwar history also runs contrary to current events.

Prewar history is hard for people to conceptualize because no attempt is really made to teach it and the entire Narrative is postwar. People are living in the equivalent of a Communist cultural revolution.

My historical education was something like:
- pilgrims were refugees who Indians taught basic agriculture to
- the hippies were cool
- Conquistadores found everything (this was OK)
- a text promoting the "Golden Age of [Jews and Muslims in] Islamic Spain" at the same time promoting feminism in the Mideast in the context of the Afghan war ("social studies" replaced "history") before the latest additions of intersectional fourthwave vaginism and the Arab Spring made this outdated at the foreign policy level
- a bland date-based treatment of the American history which was still more educational if you paid attention to it
- a compliment of literature promoting the non-Western perspective (Japanese Americans in concentration camps, falsely accused Blacks, slut oppression)
- an extended promotion of the Holocaust that included a Stephen Spielberg movie I of all things on this list couldn't pay attention to (many, I've been told were given the bullshit Third Wave story in video form or told to enact in a play)
- in college weird Jewish shit about IWW mattering, glorification of anarchist bomb plots

When classmates asked why Hitler hated the Jews -- after weeks they were still confused as no explanation was at all given why there would be a conflict at all -- the instructor simply said he was jealous.
