        lol Rommel being one of the main figures in the clean Wehrmacht myth. They'll take the nazi detector and say "yep we found one of the good ones".

          That's why it caught my eye! Sure people are going to have the same last name as historical monsters, it happens, but giving your kid the same name as a fucking nazi general? That sets off the hitler-detector

          I recently learned the rapper Young Dolph’s name isn’t a reference to diamonds, but to his full name Adolph lol

      Imagine you're a liberal journalist working at one of the largest news sites in your country, then you write an article like this.
      Most liberals are technocrats and they like to pretend to be professionals.

      How can you take yourself seriously after covering Nord Stream in western journals, and not sounding the alarm bells that this is complete and utter bullshit? Even worse for Germans, this could be considered treason, at least in some sense.
      How are their heads not exploding from the cognitive dissonance?

      And the destruction of this much money is investigated in such a lackadaisical fashion, and nobody raises an eyebrow? Completely insane.

      You have to understand that Germany is now more of a vassal of the US, which is kinda insulting to medival vassal relations. During the Cold War there was some leeway, but Merkel got rid of all of that.
