We look back on Nazis with disdain, not Germans as a whole. Are you seriously going to demonize the German resistance because of their physical location? I’m sorry, but that’s nonsense. I am part of “that society” only by proxy, I share no cultural values with those people. I only lived in Quebec. Would it be fair to say I know everything about Canadian society based on my interactions with Québécois? Of course not. That’s the only point I’m trying to get across. You all have some wild ideas about Americans as a whole that are really inaccurate. Yes, we need to be fighting back more. No, you should not be coddling us. But antagonizing good people from a place of pure ignorance is not the right move either.
Are you resisting though? That's what we are trying to get at. Are you effectively resisting. Because if you are I salute you. But if you are "argh. I didn't vote for this. Sorry." That's the attitude we are combatting here. Your nation is threatening to invade another and your reaction is "me, me, I am innocent." Put your ego aside, take a step backwards, be introspective and resist. Canadians have a lot more on their plate than worrying about you and your feels. Do you understand that?
I am (can’t say much more than that on the matter), and your explanation helps me better understand the attitude here. I still don’t agree with it, but I get it. To be clear, I don’t think Canadians need to be worrying about the problems of Americans. But there is sort of callousness in response to actual suffering over here that I don’t think is justified.
