    I can’t see the number of downvotes at a glance, but i can see that it has 152 upvotes and that 82% of people upvoted the post.

    I’m far too lazy now, but this should be enough to do the math and get the number of downvotes or do you mean something else?

    There were lots of genocides in our history, but only one Holocaust and there always will be one Holocaust, even in future history, where more genocides are bound to happen, sadly.

    I am German, though raised mostly in Brazil, Colombia and the USA. The Holocaust is still THE genocide in recent history. “The Nazis” is a beloved trope in the media, in order to unmistakably portray pure evil, never able to redeem itself.

    Being raised in different countries, made me create very little nationalistic feelings for any country. But still, i feel the weight of what was done in WW2 … How could we do this, especially the apathy in the population. Come on, from a certain point, everybody must have known, what Hitler’s plan was.

    We all know this, but there is no answer as to how this could happen, since Germans are not like this. How could we be ok with this and, as records show, proudly stand by it? It’s something looming in the background of germany’s daily life.

    Nobody wants something like this to happen again, but the uncertainty of how it was possible in past, makes it really difficult to even deal with this.

    This surely will change as fine passes by and future generations won’t have the Holocaust as something that happened to their parents generation.

    To publicly say that Israel is going bad things, specially genocide, is something no german will be able to do easily.

    The commitment given to Israel by Germany and also the USA, was a noble and only correct action in the past, but to be real, became a fucking mindmelting Problem now.

    If this would be happening 200 years from now? Germany and USA would be going into this, without the much too recent WW2 baggage.
