It’s a right-wing thing, they need that kind of ritual to distance themselves from the slide into fascism, being responsible for creating the preconditions, etc, and still in many aspects defending exactly such stances… just not to the point of utter, direct, active, barbarism. In that sense the Vergangenheitsbewältigung still isn’t done, they still have introspection to do, still lessons to learn. It’s kinda weird because when I look at the conservative base, the voters, the SME bosses, there’s a fuckton of antifa sentiment there out of a sense of general dislike of barbarism, definitely in comparison to the same clientele in other countries, but then eeeew those antifas look left that’s icky I can’t tell diversity and barbarism apart both look chaotic. You need to go all the way to actual pastors to find people on the conservative spectrum who actually get it.
