answer your question, surely western culture clouds the coverage. Americans, for example, romanticize the period and focus on Germany for a variety of reasons, mostly for ethnic reasons and also the focus of the war effort.

But these Americans, like you living in China, certainly wouldn’t come out of life with a view of love for nazis. Yet here we are, focusing on Germany. This is the whole counter argument to your argument. The Japanese get

Don’t compare German treatment of Slav, Pole, etc POWs to that of what the Japanese did to anyone. This has nothing to do with being an American family or not. You use efficiency and scale in your argument yet you then compare German POW treatment to Bataan and the like? Cmon man. We aren’t in the same universe here. The only comparison of POWs is Russian treatment.

I guess I just don’t see how premeditated genocide, efficiently is the overriding factor here. It’s like saying a guy who kills 10 people with an AK is more evil than the guy who hold 10 women captive, rapes them, stabs them slowly, and then beheads them. That’s what horrifies you? Systematic genocide has occurred before. We’ve seen that. In Germany’s case, it was part of the political plan...just as it was in japan.

For my money, what horrifies me is the acts dude x commits, not his efficiency.
