Why only Germany has that magical defining factor that you must use?
Why not Japan, Italy, Poland, Czech Republic, plenty of other that were different?
For people in Europe Germany was just Germany, they didn't know the word Nazi exists. It is only after WW2 German government coined a new name for it's country to blame everything that was done during WW2 on that other country.
- libertine 2y ago> Why only Germany has that magical defining factor that you must use? It's not me who must use it, it's everyone but you. And just because you're ignorant in this matter, you don't have to try to bring everyone down to that level. Another basic example: Imperial Russia =/= USSR =/= Russian Federation Different regimes, different borders, different policies. That's how History works. It might not be convenient to you, and for your propaganda purposes, but it doesn't bend reality. We know Russia likes to distance itself from their own atrocities, like Holodomor. The difference is that Germany took all the load from Nazi Germany and it's out in the public for everyone to see. Russia has been rewriting History so many times trying to cherry-pick the good parts and hide the bad parts, that Russian society at this point doesn't know if they miss the USSR or if they hate it for the misery it brought on them. They don't know if Stalin was good or bad, even though the regime is trying to rehabilitate him.

- libertine 2y ago> Germany during 1933-1945 never claimed to be something else than Germany, the name change happened in 1980s. No, they claimed to be the Third Reich and had a lot more land, remember that? We're talking about History here by the way, not what they claimed to be. Do you know what else Nazis claimed to be? A superior race. Yeah. But at least you had the self-awareness to realize you were wrong all along. > Why there is no Nazi Italy? Because it is called Fascist Italy, or the Kingdom of Italy ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascist_Italy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascist_Italy ), but I think you can find out why it's not called "Nazi Italy" if you make a little effort. By the way, don't worry, I have the feeling Putin's Russia will be remembered in History as Putin's Russia, what it looks like to be the man responsible for the end of the Federation and the collapse of Russia, just to remain in power.
- slaw 2y agoThey claimed to be the Third Reich and they were Germany all the time. Putin's Russia is a good name.
- libertine 2y ago> They claimed to be the Third Reich and they were Germany all the time. And that's it's called Nazi Germany, we went full circle here. > Putin's Russia is a good name. Saddam's Iraq, Mao's China, all the names that brought misery and death onto themselves and others, with a complete disregard for human life, just to serve their own power.
