Hahaha, guns actually have nothing to do with my antics this time around, Depleted.
The only serious thing you can draw from it is that I love how E. European girls are feminine, often gorgeous, but serious- minded where it counts.
Should things (hopefully) work out right for me and her, I know that she will not take any crap from the world and do her utmost to dutifully protect our theoretical children from all kinds of threats. Something I appreciate more about her everyday.
I was essentially fighting Maxwell's stereotype with an equally humorous albeit more accurate stereotype of my own.

Yeah, but not all countries had the national shame of Nazism and the Holocaust. Not all countries had populated areas which were completely hollowed out by bombing. Not all countries were split into two and forced to live under two completely different political ideologies.
As much as I say nothing is new under the sun (see my signature), Germany's 20th century was an interesting one.

But being colonized and merely defeated in war is different from being overtaken by cultural-political movement that the war's victors view as the blackest, most corrosive form of evil a Western nation can produce, compounded with a sham trial that claimed making war itself was some sort of national sin.
The Japanese never had that sort of referendum placed on them. Sure, they were occupied and given a benevolent military governor, but Emperor worship was never banned. Other than a few war criminals being tried for mistreatment of civilians and POWs, nobody really condemned Japanese racism to the extent that it's featured in books, films, comics, etc.

Oh oh I do have to correct ya. In africa the ''Christianization'' season was stripping their culture from them mending them according to the European vision of what they should be. Taking many rights and abuse being used in multiple ways.
If you really want to go nuts we can go talk about North Korea. The people starve by the hundrets and thousands each year and they still keep their head high.
And its a fact that the Germans werent treated THAT dang bad. Especially those who were ruled by Americans. Yes they were shamed and called loosers but they didnt lack the way others did. We have more rights from the americans than most states in the US lol!

Okay, I believe we are talking past each other, because you really are not refuting my central argument and I do not believe I've stated it well enough.
Nazism was a swirl of what the world has, since WWII, been referenced as the worst humanity has to offer for a number of reasons. In the West, they were told that starting the war for land acquisition, their ordering of society, and their extermination of peoples according to that order were horrible. In the East, they were told that violent opposition to the Dictatorship of the Proletariat was evil in equal measure. From the Communist perspective, the worst the world had to offer.
This was not some colonial backwater of a nation. This was not a monarchy that lost a border dispute. These were a proud people on the edge of unrivaled imperial glory at the start of the 20th century with the finest military on planet earth brought very, very low.
So after 1944 and 1989 in particular they've had to think about how they want to reorder things and, unfortunately, a lot of the lessons they seem to have learned emerged from Western liberalism/multiculturalism and the idiotically vague charges of the Nuremburg trial. They've largely concluded that national pride and war-making are evils in and of themselves. That narrative is very compatible too with what the Soviets slapped them into believing in the east. I think this is a very logical explanation for why the Germans have responded the way they did.
But I've never lived in Germany and as a person of German Jewish extraction, I'm more likely to focus on the impact of Nazism and the Holocaust. But please! Tell me why you think Germans are particularly pacifistic and rather unpatriotic these days and why this all so happens to coincide timing-wise with the aftermath of WWII and decades of division during the Cold War.

Because they dont want to and refuse to move forward. Of course they keep getting blamed and stuff, but still. America still gets blamed for stuff theyve done, as many other contries and yet they have patriotic people by the masses. You will find that people who lived in that time (my grandmas age and earlier) are the opposite of the people in my age. Somehow the older generation is more patriotic and HAPPY about ther american influence (if they werent nazis) other than the people around their 20s and 30s and teens who are influenced by the media and didnt grow up getting told about the stuff that went on.
Lack of Education by people who were there, theory and media.
