honestly as a german i feel insulted when the same politicians (including merkel) keep repeating and repeating, especially on ww2 memorial day, "such atrocities as in WW2 will never happen again" when the same people expand the trade with china knowing that the products are produced in concentration camps, allow organ tourism knowing the organs are forcefully operated from living people, and knowingly shutup about human rights violations because they dont want to face economic penalties from china.

i feel like the politicians only care about ww2 as it affected their own people. similarly much greater tyrants than hitler, such as stalin and mao, are barely mentioned in history while we learn extensively about hitler. since they are mostly killing their own people, the politicians are happy to do business with them. and if we buy made in china we are taking part of this system possibly unknowingly. these politicians know damn well whats happening there. they just dont want the public to care.

as a small party member nico semmsrott from the party "the party" from the european parliament once said, "the politicians benefit from the boredom and disinterest in politics"
