Racism does horrible things. I think you know what organization and its memes are outlawed in Germany. and why. The KKK is similar, and many of its symbols are banned as neo-Nazi symbols. 

...I do not believe in reincarnation. Plenty of Germans died for the Third Reich as ordinary soldiers, sailors, and airmen who had no idea of what they were fighting to defend as well as their nation and are thus innocent. I do not fault them. I fault the paramilitary groups, concentration-camp staff, and the Nazi Party hierarchy who have an extended stay in Hell for all that. 

What's your excuse for being a thoroughly-miserable person? Who did something truly terrible to you?

Are you sure you're not more of a German than an American these days? I'm not a miserable person. I'm pretty content with my life overall. How many times have you seen me post something about my miserable life? I've seen you do it a lot over the years  but you've never seen me doing it here. So, what's your excuse for being a miserable person? You can't blame Asperger's, I know people with Asperger's who aren't miserable people.

I do believe in reincarnation, and I don't believe in Hell. I doubt that being successful in America is necessarily a mark of virtue or testifies to the correctness of one's political ideas. Classic Xer may be happy with his life, but his ideas center on resentment and fear. That part of his life is not really very happy or contented.
