White Guilt: A creation by ourselves

@White guilt - I'm not an expert in this matter, I don't feel it at all. That may be because my country has never been involved in colonization and slavery, so over here when kids are learing about it, we learn that it's something that some other countries did and naturally we feel no connection, responsibility, guilt, etc. Still, I think that the West suffers from some kind of trauma like this and that it's stupid and causes great harm. This was particularly evident with Merkel when she wanted to paint Germans as this modern, humanitarian and tolerant nation that's helping others - in the hope that people stop thinking of them only as Nazis. She overplayed her hand so badly, though.

You should show Jumpin those two maps again.

And I agree with your assessment on white guilt. When it comes to Germany, in particular, the Nazi guilt has been doing more harm than good. However, analyzing how the German government has handled the migrant situation, the authoritarian crackdown on what the media reports is rather reminiscent of the type of censorship Nazi Germany imposed back then. In complete irony, Germany is fulfilling the Horseshoe Theory.

I'm not going to show any old maps. British government has just released a map of countries that are recommended for the British citizens to go for holidays to. Here it is:

The government discourages people from going to Belgium, Netherlands, France, Spain and Norway. Blimey! Aren't all these countries the multi-culti heavens? How can that be? After all, they are so much better than those stinky homogenous Christian countries!

And as a side note - we are actually very worried in Poland as to how this year is going to turn out. The NATO summit is in Warsaw and the World Youth Days are in Poland as well with the Pope coming. We are affraid that some Muslims may try to come here and strike. Hopefully our secret service is on top of it all, cause this year the threat is real. But hey, we're the safest place in Europe to do it and the Euro 2016 should be the main focus of terrorists this year... Man, this tournament is going to be terrifying.
