    Because people over here aren’t losing their minds over something that could maybe be misunderstood as a Nazi gesture.

    Germany owns up to the history of the state it superseded and does many things to prevent those events from happening again, first and foremost: not silencing it to death and acting like nothing happened.

    Something the US could use a lot more of, to be honest.

        True, but this hardly even comes close to it…

            Sometimes I wonder if life is easier with negative brain cells. Just posting whatever. Zero critical thinking required. Just drifting through life leaving a trail of stunned disbelief in your wake.

      They don’t pretend that it never happened, but they do heavily restrict symbols and imagery …

        Yes, actual imagery and gestures that is. Not something that an over sensitive person could maybe misinterpret that way if they squinted really hard.
