I understood that, what I'm trying to state with my rhetorical question was that all his statement served to say was "Germany created the Nazis, you should feel guilt for that". And even if you think that people deserve some sort of retribution or culpability for the supposed actions of the ancestors (which I personally don't), Germany paid for it already considering the post war fallout and the Russian occupation of Eastern Germany.

I think he simply couldn't back up his own argument with any logic, so resorted to a tired cheap shot about Nazis in frustration.
Actually, I have plenty of logic to back up my argument in a sister thread with ElComradio, and I just apologized to the German kid. FWIW, only ElComradio was engaging with me in an actual discussion there, and his replies are reasonable, but I am thoroughly downvoted anyway, so how's that for evidence of a hivemind?
It's a pity your apology makes it seem like you simply referred to the Nazis without knowing he was German, when you actually specifically blamed him and every other (white) German ("you guys") for what the Nazis did, because he said he was in Germany.

Out of five posts in that discussion, you have one post that is white. I wouldn't call that "thoroughly downvoted".
