I hadn't previously realized how many Polish blogs directly or indirectly call for the destruction of Germany as a whole and the annihilation of German people in particular. All the while living on previously German land.
I haven't grown up like that, we live relatively close to Poland and there's lots of Polish people here and lots of German people there and much rather normal exchange back and forth. Many German-Polish couples I got to be friendly with also. So I haven't been met with any of that hate there, rather with a lot of common ground since we all lived through the Soviet times and had a lot of shared hard times.
I understand that the war still has wounds on both sides that haven't healed, I knew that through our real life interactions obviously. People are talking about it sometimes and are still trying to deal with it. But as far as I've experienced it, people in real life always knew that today's German or today's Polish guy or gal on the street is not your enemy and is not the one out to kill you or displace you. And also not the one responsible for anything that has happened before. It is apparently only on the internet that people find some moral high ground in the demand for genocide. Which is nothing explicitly new but I will block you and report you. No matter what topic it is about, if you have really strong feelings of pain and decide to believe the lie that everything will be super great again if your "enemy" gets beaten, killed or tortured, then I would rather you stay on your little crazy island and live the life you choose there.
I'm trying to heal, even from generational trauma.
