Did they not learn anything from the last world war?

Germans are ashamed from talking about WWII. They quickly avoid any discussion on the topic.

From what I saw from years of living in the country, Germans are a naturally law-abiding society; they are polite, yet cautiously friendly towards strangers; and, they will go out of there way to avoid sticking their noses in someone else's business.

To see them protesting in the streets gives me hope that they have had enough of getting shit on by their "leaders."

Yes, they did learn. They learned to cook the frog slowly to avoid having to shoot too many people. But looking over at China and New Zealand, I expect gulags will not be avoided.

we get taught it, over 5 years in school. and very intensive. Thing is compassion is very big in germany. The welfare system, the health care system, etc all has their basis in it. Just tell germans they have to do something out of compassion, and they will do it. The refugees for example. Tell them there is a virus that kills the elderly and they have to give up their freedoms (and wrap it up a bit more subtle like "infection Protection act" and they will go with it.
