Nah these people are far too cynical and empathy-impaired to feel a complex emotion like guilt, what they do feel is a kind of cultural cringe as a result of the Holocaust, other European bougies make fun and look down on them because the German political project was defeated and humiliated
So they construct a whole social narrative of “WE know what real genocide and antisemitism looks like, look how enlightened and above our past we are, unlike YOU” end of the day these motherfuckers are just as antisemitic as they are Islamophobic
Is a lot of this guilt for the Holocaust or something? I don’t understand
Germans also love racism
AND genocide

Euro states wouldn’t pass an opportunity to support a genocide
Is this the closest thing to actual white guilt? Not the way reactionaries use it ofc.
Idk, I think it also has to do with the fact that many many Europeans don’t see muslims as human too.
Yes.
