      Reminder: In FR Germany, by law you can't outright support the nazi party, its leadership or use their symbols, but it's perfectly acceptable to say no one was to blame for the genocide of 17 million people.

        By the way, 27-33 million soviet people died in the second world war, most of which were civilians, but for some reason nobody is calling it genocide (even in Russia). I think this is strange, we should call it genocide and treat it the same as the Holocaust

          You are completely correct, but the reason the west holds up the jewish holocaust (which I specifically say because jews made up a third of the victims but libshits don't acknowledge the others) as a uniquely horrific crime is that it's an aberration. Most of nazi germany's crimes were common among western fascist and imperialist powers, mainly destroying entire communities under the guise of war or civilisation. If the crime is the number of victims, people might start questioning whether it means this english king, that belgian one, this usian president etc are comparatively wicked. Therefore they must pretend the greatest villainy was the gas chambers and furnaces, because everything else, the robbery, the slavery, the camps, the murder; other western powers have done it too.

          The exception to this is obviously ex-USSR, in which it may have been better to tell the story of the heroism of the soviet peoples. That's just a guess though.

      hahaha what the actual fuck

      It wasn't their responsibility to resist. It wasn't anyone's responsibility. #resist

      Make up your fucking mind, Sabine, #resist or #acquiesce or #participate?

        Is she maybe not being literal when she says it was nobody's responsibility? As in, they could say it wasn't their responsibility the same way a Trump supporter in WV might not see how he is responsible for DeSantis in Florida? I don't know a lot about this person but I think that this might just be a case of someone conveying something through text with the same wording they would through speech and it muddling up the meaning.

          The banality of evil as a concept to describe how evil is carried out as a series of mundane acts of compliance and obedience is pretty on point, if that's what you're asking.

          If you're saying there's nothing wrong with carrying out evil as a series of mundane tasks of complaince and obedience, well, sus-soviet

      That video was the reason I stopped watching her videos, not that I was an avid follower anyway. I had completely forgotten, must've compartmentalised it somehow.

    This is what happens when highly educated people start talking shit about things they didn't go to school for. Germans know this phenomenon as Fachidiot, maybe Sabine is familiar.
