Nait’s point stands, actually. More than 10M German speakers (NOT German citizens) were subject to mass expulsion. An estimated 500k died from 1945-1950. Some argued they deserved it, like Hiroshima/Nagasaki, but one can’t argue that many didn’t die.https://www.chronicle.com/article/The-European-Atrocity-You/132123 …
I think the "innocent people" point stands, seems almost vacuous to me, any societal endeavor at this scale will wrap undeserving individuals in its net. However the "super evil" point is more interesting.
Right. I’m addressing that part — many innocent people caught in the crossfire here. As with reassessment of Churchill, or the Japanese internment, or the nuking of Japan, one can believe the Allies’ cause was *on net* good while also being aware of what was done.
Well they also dealt with their history in one forceful swoop rather than having this slow burn, erratic, two steps forward 1.9 steps back, lurch toward equity that still feels unfulfilled bc this country keeps inventing novel systems of control every generation.
