Jews make up less than 1% of the German population.

Huh, wonder why that is...

According to my-hero 's favorite "historian" it's because Hitler was a smol bean that meant well but accidentally 6+ million people.

The most interesting version of this German brainworm are the people who think that there has to be a Jewish ethnonationalist state or they'll be persecuted, as it is in the nature of people to persecute Jews (and any other minority by extension). This is why being anti-Zionist means that you want to get rid of Jews in their eyes. The source for this specific brainworm is likely rationalizing why grandpa who was so kind to you was likely approving or complicit in the Holocaust. If it is simply human nature it is less unforgivable. It is a way to appear to be introspective and making amends without actually doing any introspection or improving things.

germans going "well it makes sense all the jews need to go to one place, as we all know jewish diaspora are just asking to be killed. What's this? You've never felt the urge to kill jews? It's human nature, it's anti-semitic to deny that we all have this jew-killing urge. you want jews to be in danger by being around me, how anti-semitic of you"

Germany shouldn’t have been allowed to remain a country.

Modest proposal to break down nationalism in the European peninsula - just split it up radially.

Counterpoint: strong unified Europe is an incredible danger for the rest of the world.

It's not unified. Each pixel on this map is an independent state

You're so right. Every hour angle should be an independent country.

It’s incredibly remarkable how often Germany manages to be on the wrong side of things.

‘Vyy can’t I zoo anysing right??’ -some weeping German who just murdered a Jew in a misguided attempt to ‘protect Jews’.
