Where does this "hypermoralistic" way of thinking come from?

    btw I will also add that Russia uses the hypermoralistic tendencies in the west to stir up conservatives, they highlight events where doing good went wrong and twist news to portray even moderates as outrageous do gooders

    What on earth makes you equate 'hypermoralism' to 'an embrace of ethics, common decency, abhorrence of victimisation, hypocrisy, mendacity, etc'. Hypermoralism is a degree, not a nature. The most evil men who ever lived were almost all hypermoralists.

    Nazi's are still the root of all the evils in Germany.

    Right now they are emasculated. This was to keep them from a Nazi resurgence.

    That's why.

    The Russians have never been defeated in war.

    They lost a few battles to the Japanese in the Russo-Japanese War at the turn of the Century in 1905 but paybacks in 1945 against Japan was a mo fo and made up for it.

    yes I believe your weather saved you at least twice, likely many more times than only against Napoleon and the Germans

    Well I think that's pretty much insane, but it does explain why you tried to derail this thread and probably any other thread that tries to discuss any current events or policy related to Germany.

    They simply haven't read the Qur'an and the many many verses that instruct the Muslims to fight/kill us. And they don't realize that virtually all Muslims will not condemn any of those jihad verses - even when asked point-blank to do so in the name of peace and freedom.

    But terrible at providing people with an ethical belief system, as you can see with the many many MANY cruel and violent verses in the Bible: http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/cruelty/long.html

    Whenever I'm threatened with the ignore list that makes me feel like I've successfully scored some points that you have no response to, so thank you!

    You, like Jesus (who was only interested in helping ONE particular ethnicity - Mt 15:24 – the Israelites), are supremacists if you believe that ONE bloodline is superior to a mixed-race bloodline.
    Hitler also was only concerned about one ethnicity/race. Please, for the sake of humanity, stop approving of Jesus/Hitler's supremacism. Learn to love all races, equally, like Modern Secular Humanists try to do.
    Thanks.

    That's partly because Muslims are taught not to take non-Muslims as friends by the Islamic texts. Obviously Mohammad got that wrong - at least it's not what's best for humanity, we can all agree.

    "Unbelievers are described by Muhammad (in the Quran) as "the vilest of animals" and "losers." Christians and Jews are hated by Allah to the extent that they are destined for eternal doom as a result of their beliefs. It would make no sense for Muhammad to then recommend that they be taken as friends by Muslims. In fact, the Quran plainly orders believers not to take unbelievers as friends." https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/friends-with-jews-christians.aspx

    We can move beyond the ancient barbaric faiths.

    If I was a religious person - driven by fear, superstition, and hatred like they often are, I'd have put you on "ignore" YEARS ago, crank!

    You'd kind of scare me, with your reason, scientifically-correct thinking, and intellectually consistent thinking. I bet if Jesus was alive today he'd have put you on "ignore" w/in the first week of you being on this forum! Mohammad would not put you on "ignore", however, as he'd have simply had you "taken care of" like he had a lot of his critics "taken care of": https://wikiislam.net/wiki/List_of_Killings_Ordered_or_Supported_by_Muhammad

    Meantime, Progressives have me on ignore these days. Since they're the 2017 version of Religious Ideologue, it figures.

    I condemn Jesus for sending the Jews to "hell", and I condemn Hitler for being bad (but not as bad as Jesus, of course) to the Jews as well. Can you join me in condemning Jesus and Hitler for their barbaric anti-semitism, Sobo?

    Yes, to clarify, I was giving you one of my highest comments.
    Sorry, sometime I'm almost as bad of a communicator as "god" in the Bible is.

    God must love the Russians then. He alone protected them twice in crucial moments.

    That's because they don't like being beaten intellectually on a regular basis. AGREE with their nonsense more often and they'll put you on "ignore" less often. :)

    I don't know much about German culture. So this is an outsiders position. I live in Texas. What it looks like from my perspective is that. Part of the German government feels guilty for being German. I'll explain. They are German and have a rich prosperous culture that was built on western values. It was fought and sacrificed for dearly but before most of the current populace was born. And because they get to reap the benefits of the past they feel guilty that other cultures haven't. Assuming this sentiment comes from a good place they wish to share prosperity. But based on how you stated that people think all of the cultural aspects are evil I highly doubt this comes from a good place.

    It appears to be self flagellation. We have this toxic element in our culture in the United States. We call it white guilt. It is based on race and there are people actually trying and succeeding in convincing people that white folks are more privilidged in our society.

    So don't feel like this problem is unique to Germany. I know Texas has a reputation in other parts of the globe. We face that struggle here too.

    I think the only way to combat it is simply take pride in your nation. Think about the trials Germany has faced. It's triumphs its failures. Don't ever think these failings don't need to be addressed and corrected but believe you can do so because you are Germans and good people.

    Do not give what is precious to dogs.

    I'd love to visit your country one day and see its history and culture.
