You're not nitpicking. It's like saying USA is all Nazis. A country is more than its current government. Unfortunately neither Italy nor the USA have a particularly well functioning democracy.

However it is well documented that the vast vast vast majority of Germans supported the Nazis of their own free will. The “good german” and “clean wehrmacht” concepts are myths brought about in the aftermath of the war due to political expediency and, though they were adequately discredited by the 1980s, it still stubbornly holds on because the inhumanity is still so unbelievable.

Those Germans who did stand up to the Nazis were minute in numbers, and did so in an atmosphere of extreme hostility from the general public. After all, the Gestapo was a very small agency, and the population was self-policing.

My brother in Christ its a joke, is that Bourgeois Decadence?

I have a hard time having sympathy for the Germans, with dumb jokes like this. Yes, I do feel for the Germans that lost their lives standing up to the Nazi government tho and have immense respect for them and anyone who stands up against fascism but I don't respect them cause they are German I respect them for standing up against fascism. It's hard to have that kind of sympathy for Germans when germany doesn't even recognize Palestine (the genocide of this century) and the Europeans have made Palestinians pay more for the Jewish Holocaust than the Germans ever did.

I make the jokes cause to me the underlying factors that led to that kind of apathy for an "outsider" community has not changed in Europe and the west. The same factors still exist though they like to pretend to be all civilized and past that. I call bullshit.

And cool i guess maybe i should talk to your flatmate more. He might understand my underlying anger and frustration better than you.
