    Maybe a cultural compulsion of misremembering and publically honoring the dead unconditionally isnt always good for society.

    Yeah, I’ll take my bans now.

      This is about propaganda, not culture.

      Why would anyone ban you for that? It’s not an unpopular opinion or mean.

      Did you read it? It wasn’t a “cultural compulsion”. It was a deliberate campaign to turn the memory of him into a complete fabrication and a fascist tool.

          People like heroes, alive or dead. Them being dead is just beneficial to those rewriting their history.

              Useful because they can’t argue, disprove, or otherwise disrupt the use of their person as a “perfect” hero of the movement.

                Okay, yeah, the culture it starts in is never culpable for any vulnerabilities it may or may not have to Nazism.

                There was nothing we could’ve done and there’s nothing we can do except pure violence. No preventative measures for next time. It could have been no other way.
