I believe it is a good idea, not only will it foster a closer feeling of unity and understanding between citizens, it will also be something all citizens have in common, and something you can talk about with anyone.
I am a bit sad that I never got to do it, I did muster, but failed the hearing test, at the time I was relieved, but now, I miss it sort of.
They’re sending weapons to Saudi Arabia and Israel. They put sanctions on Afghanistan that are causing a famine. They’re funding Frontex, which kills migrants in the Mediterranean and those who make it get put into concentration camps. And that’s just some of it. The German government are war criminals and serial human rights abusers. Anyone who takes up arms to defend these people is complicit.
While I don’t know how accurate this statement is, I do wonder how you would go about doing it now, so far after the war.
Where would you even start?
What criteria would you use to determine the nazi index of every person, what index value would be the threashhold, who would decide on who is nazi and who is nice.
It would be very easy just take people who use to be in the party and kick them out like they should have at the get-go. Not that it matters because they have very little animus to do so.
An interesting statement about a word that was only created to describe what the Allies tried to achieve in Austria and Germany.
Ok, the Allies handed it over to the Germans in '46 and obviously it was met with a lot of resentment. I mean think about it. The Nazi party had 8,5 million members in '46 with 79 million Germans in '39.
For a lot of these poeple they only had the membership to get their job. No surprise that as government of a starving population and the next conflict just unfolding infront of your door you set other priorities.
I’m still glad that the protests in '68 forced the goverment, courts and universities to another cleanup.

Being forced to risk your life for something you don’t believe in won’t create a feeling of unity.
So you don’t believe in fighting against invasion by a foregin power?
Thats not what our military is doing. Like ever.
In what reality would Germany ever get invaded and not deserve it?
Why do you think they deserve it now?
They’re sending weapons to Saudi Arabia and Israel. They put sanctions on Afghanistan that are causing a famine.

And don’t forget Germany never underwent denazification
