It doesn't matter whether or not you agree. You only illustrate that you have no respect for other cultures by posting things like this. Be critical of Merkel all you want, state openly your opinion that she is authoritarian, that is your prerogative. But to directly compare her to the leader who oversaw the mass murder of millions, is just disrespectful to Germans.

You can be critical with out being purposefully ignorant.

Sort:  

Ok. I get your point. But how does that picture state that I disrespect other cultures? I seen trump compared to hitler. I don't hate American culture.
I seen Erdogan compared to hitler. I don't hate turkish culture.

And ofcourse I understand that merkel is not gonna invade poland, and is not to be compared as a mass murderer. I thought that part was obvious. I was clearly mistaken.

Because neither Trump nor Erdogan are German. Hitler was a German. Is a part of their history, and one that shouldn't be taken lightly.

And of course I understand that merkel is not gonna invade poland, and is not to be compared as a mass murderer. I thought that part was obvious. I was clearly mistaken.

If you don't understand why its not appropriate at this point I am not sure what to tell you. It doesn't matter what your intentions were. It has nothing to do with you (other than the fact that you are acting ignorantly).

Yes. I put some thought in it. You are right. Even tough I know germans, I am ignorant about the sensitivity with hitler towards germans. I knew it was sensitive but not to this extend.

It will not be the last time I will write or post something ignorant either. Thats why I have you to point it out.

I should have used a normal picture and changed my article in such a way to point out that it was 90% based on information wich is subjective aswell.

I don't want to come off arrogant or like a know it all.
So I'll take responsibility for this.
And I by this I sincerely apologize for my ignorance.
