What's pissing on Wermacht graves got to do with modern, politically motivated Confederate statues and teaching about the Confederacy responsibly in a similar manner to the way we teach about the Nazis?

I'm sorry to say that I think you got a little over-excited about your gotcha and blew your wad early.

You should probably check the meme in the OP for context if you're having trouble figuring out how pissing on a Wehrmacht grave is connected

If you've got an issue with what OP shared, why would you bring it to me?

I don't have a problem with what OP shared.

You pointed out how we don't glorify Nazis. I was simply wondering if you would make a meme about peeing on German graves the way that OP made a meme about peeing on Confederate graves.

Im just trying to understand your position.

I'm not big on making memes, so no.

Do I think there's equivalent moral culpability between the average vermacht and confederate soldier? Unsure - it's a nuanced question I'm not well positioned to answer.

Would I piss on either? Probably not. Rupert Murdoch is my priority on that front.
