This is the greatest moment of the 20th century, half of Europe was finally liberated from totalitarianism, and it is hardly remembered nowadays because the left-wing intellectuals and artists that control historical memory are still butthurt over their loss of influence it entailed.
For how long will our historical memory be monopolized by a morally bankrupt political movement?
prove your assertions please
Your post is simultaneously utterly grand and vague in its accusations. I wonder what journey led you to this belief.
>it is hardly remembered nowadays
What are you talking about? If I were to ask random people to name the most significant historical event of the last 50 years I bet at least half would choose this.
Reunification of Germany is one of the most tragic events in modern history.
I would think more people at this point would point towards the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the spiral of wars, political movements, and repercussions that came to follow. I think the world we live in today is now more defined by Pre and Post 9/11 rather than former existence of Soviet states.
Yeah, no, they'd pick 9/11.
Could you please explain to me how artists control historical memory?
Can you provide evidence on people who are 'butthurt' over such event?
All of what you just listed is the indirect result of the collapse of the Soviet Union.
>muh tyranny
Germany is a tyranny right now. East Germany would have never accepted mass immigration and Western degeneracy.
>muh de gen er uh cee
spotted the 2008 obama voting libertard who turned /pol/ because "society is going too far now!!!"
It's not the greatest actually. Besides that, when I went to Berlin, half of the tourism was about the wall. The foundations are still there. Our guide made sure to point out some of the differences between the west and east.
No, it's remembered.
>artists that control historical memory
Some remnants of the wall is a fucking art mural, and one piece has become a symbol of Berlin.
Dude that's just a symbol of NOT TRUE SOCIALISM™
Next time we'll get it right. You see socialism is a historical inevitability, if only those evil capitalists would let us and then would trade with and invest in us and would not go away when we steal their sweet sweet stuff...
Autism.
That is true, but everything in history is the product of what precedes it. Just as the beginning of the Cold War came from the post war climate of WW2 and WW2 being started from the post war climate of WW1 etc. The main point of my statement is that a good majority of people would see the 9/11 attacks as the catalyst for the majority of world wide events that would come in its wake up to even now. Although I would argue that the 9/11 attacks had a more direct impact on modern day history than the fall of the Communism.
Not everyone is a burger.
I would have to say that that the war on terror is more relevant today than the fall of communism. I think that's mostly applicable for most people in the developed world from the Americas to Asia.
I've pissed on the Berlin Wall.
I think it's not as remembered as it should be because the late 80s Soviet totalitarianism was much softer han it had been decades previously. There were secret prisons and so on, but not massive scale evil like gulags. Also, the chance to establish a new era in geopolitics was hurt by US policy makers' insistence on continuing massive levels of defense spending and pursuing a project to dominated the Middle East under the guise of a "war on terror". Leftist butthurt may be part of it, but I don't think it's the main factor.
You may not like modern Germany's policies, but using the same word to describe it as one would use to describe Nazi Germany and the Stalin-era USSR is absurd. In modern Germany you can openly campaign to convince your fellow countrymen to vote for different policies. In Nazism or Stalinism you would get shot in the back of the head for it.
so beautiful
its so beautiful to spend trillions on literal ex-commies
fuck this , im east german myself but FUCK!"
