  • Edit: I read the above as sarcasm, I don’t think Germany is still shunned, but it is for sure still remembered what they did in WW2.

    Original post:
    Has it been forgotten, if you mention Hitler, does anyone still remember? No it will not be forgotten, just as the USA helping Europe hasn’t been forgotten. But the reason Germany was slowly forgiven was first that they were split in 2 making the power of Germany smaller, it was a different time, with no prior historical lesson to learn from regarding Nazism. and that the political environment in both parts of Germany was changed completely, with Western Germany taking responsibility more than any country had done before them.






  • Videos proclaiming users are “Chinamaxxing,” or “in a very Chinese time of their lives”

    This sounds like bullshit, of course we know people have clubs that are fans of country music or Star Trek or whatever cultural things people may find interesting.
    But I never heard about USA maxxing, and I doubt there would be more reason to do that with China.
    Some Chinese cultural elements may be fun, popular and interesting, but Chinamaxxing sounds more like a mental health issue than a cultural thing. And definitely not an element of soft power.
