The people weren’t at war, their governments were. Never lose sight of the real enemy.

Maybe I’m misinterpreting what you’re saying, but that hasn’t been my experience. Either Germans in American or as an American in Germany, we’ve enjoyed each other’s company. Talking, learning a bit of each other’s culture, buying each other beers. This isn’t a one off thing or with a particular person, it’s been my experience a hand full of times both ways.

No it’s not a general experience. It’s just a bit tiresome hearing dumb jokes about that matter. That doesn’t happen often, and it happens with … special people I don’t want to connect anyways.

The only people making dumb jokes (that aren’t seriously just having a tongue in cheek laugh at history) are the same useless gravy seals resting on the laurels of the last “decent” war the US ever fought and saying “you’d all be speaking German if it weren’t for us!” kind of people.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 days ago Yes. Governments are the enemy.
Was it Hirohito or Tojo who tortured and murdered people as part of Unit 731?
