Seriously, something in WWII broke German minds. Yes, Nazis were horrible but you went from one stupid extreme to another stupid extreme and both ended up with genocides

Germany, please, can you try to go to some middle ground somewhere?

We're trying! Some of us, at least. I have plenty of "anti-genocide no matter the flag" people in my general social environment. Hell, even at work do some colleagues openly criticise it with no pushback.

Unfortunately, the "Christian" parties and one quite blatantly (Neo-)Nazi party hold too much public attention and influence. I guess massacring muslims is still popular with Christians...

And thus began the Battle for Middle-Earth.

Maybe nothing broke, they just support genocides in general.
