but...who is "we" in "how bad we were back then". Going to guess you are not 110 years old. You were not an adult when Hitler was elected, nor a member of the german legislature when they abdicated their power and responsibility. You did not march in step, or round up Jews. You are not the people of Germany of 1933.

Placing blame on people born generations after the crimes is irrational. It is effective at dividing people, at creating conflict, and seems often used to make seem reasonable the unreasonable. You are not responsible for Nazi Germany no more than I am responsible for slavery in the US.

The German people should, dare I say must, reject the faulty logic of "the Nazi card" and call for accountability from those who play it. It's dishonest, it's divisive, and it supports dictators, not democracy.
