    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.)

      I’d understand the thread as author intended. Just my 5 cents. And honestly, it’s time to talk openly about it, even though the thread could diverge - in that case, weed the offensive comments, not censor beforehand.

      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.
