It's not a coincidence that German culture spawned both the Nazi's AND is at the center of today's PC culture. As a society, virtue signalling is far more important than individual liberty to them. Righteousness is more important than truth.It was a recipe for fascism in the 30's, just like today.
Yes, this is a great insight I have not heard before.
I lived in Germany for two years in college and can speak German. Also lived with a family for the summer before junior year of HS. They were totally PC even then, out of a pervasive sense of guilt for WWII. It had not occurred to me that guilt and virtue signaling (by admitting your guilt publicly as a "racist" from birth exactly like original sin) can be powerful controlling forces, but they can. So yes, same shit seems to be going on here, and maybe it explains why the left is acting much more like Nazis than the right this time around.

I want to talk about the Krauts.

For the record, my grandmother is a german immigrant. My baddass polish grampa knocked her up in Germany right after ww2. She came to ellis island holding my infant mother, and started her new american life in detroit, back in 1948. I still have Opa's nazi paraphernalia, pictures, etc... We even have his fucking journal.
Germans in WW2 were drunk on their own righteousness while acting out violence for the 3rd Reich. Who does that sound like?...
