Wenn ich mir den "Schlaf" aus den Augen reibe, gilt das dann schon als #Vergangenheitsbewaltigung?

Rechtfertigt ein „wir haben‘s auch aushalten müssen“ wirklich immer alles? Manchmal kann ich‘s nicht mehr hören #vergangenheitsbewältigung #familiengeschichten #generationenkonflikte

Walter, but you can't impose #Vergangenheitsbewältigung (the "struggle of overcoming the past" in post-Nazi Germany; kind of #lustration) upon mentally infertile population from outside by simply asking "pretty please?".

And despite #ruscist paranoia / propaganda, *no-one* is willing to "go in and make them".

For centuries the crime (of colonialist #expansionism) paid off royally; the thug, military brass and ruler classes profited, but even the serf masses felt they weren't the *worst-off" people in the empire — the colonized "minorities" were.

The will to embrace civilization must come from inside, but for that to even be possible, #muscovia must return its loot: the colonies to the native colonial subjects and other violently stolen territories. Otherwise it'll be once again "fuck this eternal cesspool, let's go and steal from neighbours who have plumbing and indoor toilets and everything...!"

OTOH #German #ThirdReich was shocking exactly because it arose and took hold within a population with deep roots to #Hochkultur. And even there the lustration wasn't a complete success: there is a 'thriving' neonazi 'community' and German industrialists couldn't be more eager to collaborate with (genocidal and expansionist) despots... foreign ones will do if none are available domestically...

So much for #Vergangenheitsbewältigung :

Decendants of #Namibia's #genocide have been excluded from government-to-government talks with #Germany. They reject a German apology and want to enter into direct talks over #reparations

“Come on. Can it be more #colonial as an agreement? They are not even given the opportunity to reject the apology”

To permit other Europeans to give their German tanks to Ukraine is the least what Berlin can, in view of such responsibility, do today for Kyiv. /END

This mind-blowing speech by Yale history prof Timothy #Snyder is from 5 years ago, but couldn't be more relevant today

Also highly recommend Snyder's 2022 lecture series "The making of modern Ukraine", to be found on the Yale YouTube channel.
