You might have to say “yahtzee” out loud to get the joke.
Pretty much how the German government reacts whenever Nazis are mentioned, if German soldiers does something violent somewhere, or if anything that could in anyway make people think of Nazis happens. They’re quite paranoid about the subject.
If you're going to blame anyone, blame Austria-Hungary.
-Hitler was born there
-His dreams were crushed when he was rejected from the Vienna art school
-He got his Nazi ideas from being homeless in anti-Semitic Vienna, where he heard about the Nazi party
Don't blame Germany, blame the Vienna School of Art. If he had been accepted, he would have gone on to be an artist.
@Violetsarenotblue
Also (not sure if this is a valid reason or not) Austria-Hungary (and Serbia, to be fair) started WW1, and then everything got blamed on Germany, causing them to start WW2. (correct me if I'm wrong)
@ABCEastPonymon Weeeeeeell, the causes of WWI are still somewhat open to debate. There's a theory that Austria-Hungary were useful idiots for Germany, who wanted to provoke a war with Russia in order to neutralise them before they finished modernising their army - so they engineered trouble in the Balkans so that war would break out without them appearing to be the initial aggressors.
I feel bad for Germany. History is history and it's in the past. Bad stuff happened in the past, but plenty of other countries have done the same and similar things, so Germany shouldn't be only country constantly targetted and pointed out for bad acts in history. Russia did bad things, America, Belgium, and many other places have too. Germany is a wonderful country filled with wonderful people, who don't deserve to be weighed down by past actions. Just, let them live happily.
@Mikhails but it's not in the past, with the German government still paying the Jews for their war crimes they admit it's not over. Russia, America, Belgium, unfortunately I don't remember them starting a world war. I do also feel sorry for Germany, but I don't think it's government, history books or the Internet will ever let them forget.
@Rioluman @Lumoseo Of course they do. History lessons are basically like this: http://9gag.com/gag/aD3Q08d
Most of us have at least 'visited' a concentration camp once, always with the aftertaste of guilt. I can only speak for myself and all Germans I know, but I can definitely say that we learn a lot about Hitler, World War II, everything. By the way - it's a crime to deny the Holocaust in Germany.
@Fernweh It's almost a crime to be "proud to be german" in the first place, deny the holocaust and you get lynched! even worse now, with the "Antifa" on the track
@Fernweh *sorry for the late reply*Yeah! That's why a bunch of countries went from "I hate Germany because of WW2" to "We forgive Germany and we love them". And of course. That's why Germany is considered to be a good country and also why a lot of countries like them(including mine). Denying the Holocaust? In GERMANY?! I'd rather step into a minefield.
I love Germany and German language and nice German people and everything about them. Seeing nazi thing over and over in media makes me sad about it. War happens everywhere. Lots of other politicans have done mad things through history. T_T let go of Germans
