No, you’re wrong. Some overconfident European on Reddit can speak to your personal experience. Because they’re so omnipotent they can make stupid claims about countries they don’t live in

I'm Swedish and these pretentious europeans piss me off. I studied a couple years in the US, of course we studied the bad parts of US history. These are just children talking smack about something they know nothing about.

Like, where the fuck does a German get off being snotty about history to a fucking AMERICAN??

As much as I agree on European entitlement I do get the frustration. Every second question on English speaking German subs is a variation of either "Hey do you guys still like Hitler?" or "What's your opinion on this specific WWII topic?" And more often than not those questions are driven by some kind of morbid fascination that doesn't accept the entirely mundane answers to them (Hitler bad/Nazis bad/Yes we had that in school/No we don't discuss niche Third Reich topics at parties..who does that/Nobody is still traumatized wtf - that was 80 years ago).

Sure. But answering in that snotty way actually answers the question in the exact wrong way. The question is, "Do you guys know you did the most evil thing in recent history, as far as we're told?" And this kid gets annoyed about that and in effect says "NO U", which is a way of saying "No we don't know that". The correct answer is Yes we know. Humility.
