I'm a crow and nothing human is avian to me
I've seen you around the forums OP and I like the cut of your jib. (I may also say something in the GBS abortion thread you appeared in but then it is an awful topic.) You take a look at things from a different angle and while the thread title has a clear literal answer I think you are trying to get at much more interesting questions, namely what is the exact nature of the laws you need to keep societies from deviating like that and, if the Germans were guilty of something other than losing the war, what does that say about how our own society was built?

Personally I think that due to the you-wouldn't-believe-it-if-it-didn't-happen nature of the crimes in question you can call this an exceptional case but what's really fascinating to me is that the war against the Nazis is still ongoing. No that isn't a cheap shot at Trump supporters, I mean that if humans gently caress up the ability of this planet to sustain large societies and backslide into feudalism in the next centuries then it would be a fair argument to say that Germany needed to win the 20th C. in order for our species to progress. So support the struggle against fascism: try to encourage the ability of people to live next to each other without constant eruptions of anger by not needlessly being a jerk and also support serious attempts to fix our education system that won't result in administrative bloat and a generation of infantilized young adults.
