    Here in Germany we are extensively educated about what happened in the 3rd Reich. It’s a big part about our education to learn and understand what horrible things happened and why they happened to make sure this never happens again. This kinda lead to the point where many Germans are deeply ashamed just for being a German (even though they’re quite far detached from what happened) and this is also a reason why you won’t find many German flags hanging here.

    Yeah, we didn’t do that. At the end of the civil war, Lincoln was assassinated, and Johnson just kind of said “yeah we good now” and good portions of the US still hold Confederate views.

      Hijacking your comment to add that a tom of Americans are ashamed to be American. That just happens to correlate with higher educated Americans. And there is currently a leading political party that celebrates the confederacy and is actively attempted to keep Americans from getting educated.

      Nationilsm breeds effectient workers, and education hinders Nationalism.
