Removed by mod
I went and double checked community info, yet I can’t understand why mine was removed. Probably some German moderator seeing antisemitic content everywhere 🤷♂️
Fwiw, yours was the one I was least sure about removing. You’re right, there are a lot of clearly civilian victims. The way you worded it seemed a bit too inviting for another rage thread though.
My comment was simply pointing out how Germany’s been involved in genocide at least twice in modern history.
I’d appreciate if someone would challenge me with a sound argument rather than censoring me.
Your comment was literally just “What is it with Germans and genocide?” Besides the one interpretation you suggest, there are a lot of other possibilities.
In any case, if a thread had started from your comment, do you think it could have been a productive one?
Okay, let’s just say I’m that dense. How else would you interpret my comment? How unproductive would the thread be?
E.g. “It must be a genetic thing” or “Gee, they just have a genocidal culture” or …
The way you phrased it also suggests the direction the discussion will go: It’s not going to be about genocides, it’s going to be anti-German, although genocides are unfortunately fairly common among humans. (Of course, “genocide” is a somewhat mushy politically-applied term as well which doesn’t help.)
Lemme guess…
You’re German, and you’re very proud of your country.
I get that. It’s good to be proud of your country, but it’s also good to be open to other point of views.
