I want to be very clear that I do not support Elon and his bullshit, but I will say that it is possible for anyone to dwell too much on their past mistakes.
It's important not to forget your past mistakes but it's also important to not let your past mistakes define you forever. Germany will always have that mark on their record and they should never forget it. That being said they don't need to keep punishing themselves forever for the sins of their fathers. At some point you need to put your new mark down in the history books.
I hope what I am saying makes sense.
Anyways fuck Elon and his flappy mouth. I don't know why anyone listens to what that idiot says anymore. He clearly only says and does whatever he thinks will make people like him the most or make him the most money.
We, the Germans did horrible things. Things, I fear, that will be repeated by other countries.
And while we should not live in guilt, we have to remember the past and keep it alive.
One top politician of the AfD is history teacher AND Holocaust denier. The AfD plans to "remigrate" people that do not fit their image of a "german". They do not want the people to remember, because if they do, their may rise up.
And same goes for Trump, Musk and the horror show that some call the US Government
I mean, no surprise the nazi wants to ignore the history of nazis
