Coldly it lies; and this lie slips from its mouth: "I, the state, am the people." -- Friedrich Nietzsche > That was a trivial example. Which is why I asked about these specific attitudes that were ascribed here, "not loving democcracy and hating themselves" > They didn't think Germany was just "some individuals that happened to act in an individual manner as to cause a world war twice" That's just putting words into my mouth.
