I know about these opinions, especially since I'm living in the East. Also I genuinely respect them. But of course there are reasons for this: The people who wouldn't voice that opinion have been long gone. Either fled before 89 or moved to Western Germany in the years after, as millions of young Eastern Germans have done. And those who stayed were most likely those living on the countryside where influence of the government was smaller and the oppression less notable. But of course the GDR was not hell on earth and some people had the chance to enjoy life every now and then.
Still... Even if not many were shot: Many more were interrogated and tortured in Stasi jail. And knowing that anyone, even your closest relatives, could be spying on you... Just because you didn't conform to the reason of state. That must've been horrible. It's not like people fled the country without reason.
I'm not detached from my worldview. But if holding a belief means I have to view everything that happens through the same lens, and not being able to appreciate multiple perspectives on an issue, then yes, I'd rather not hold a belief but decide from case to case. If that means to you that I'm detached then I can't help it.
Being able to enjoy an argument doesn't imply that I don't take it seriously. Feeling troubled and challenged by people who don't conform to a world view... That could surely be said about the reactions of many here, why should I be an exception?
I don't sort most views here in my "uncivilized" folder and I couldn't care less to "report" that to anyone, as I'm not aligning with any particular community and am not interested in making fun of others when I can be sure that I will get nice slaps on the back for. You surely do enough for the "uncontacted tribe" image yourselves when I remember the (funny) posts about the panic of some people in other communities after federation. Plesse don't imply that I invented this shit or that it's now suddenly some offensive perspective.
