There was a time I witnessed something strange. It kept happening, too.
For a period, I spent much of each year in Europe. I traveled by train, in that era before low-cost airlines. Long-distance train travel unites strangers in a way puddle-jumpers do not.
From 2000ish to 2010ish, I noticed something the German people were convinced to do.
Each individual I spoke to under a certain age, maybe sixty years old, apologized to me for World War Two as long as the conversation went on long enough. Long enough would usually mean fifteen minutes of engaged back-and-forth dialogue.
Germans from the north, south, east, and west did this. They did this if they were 18 or 38, whether student or professional, rich or poor, city or country.
That Was Weird
Someone not alive during World War Two, would apologize to me about something that neither of us had anything to do with.
That was weird.
It is weird anytime a random sampling of people engage in identical behavior. I witnessed dozens do this each year during this period. It's weirder, still, when no one doing this realizes the uniformity of that behavior, presuming themselves original.
All that is weird, but then it is something more as well:
It takes a certain cultural pathetic-ness to engage in such behavior.
Yes, It Wasn't Just Weird, But It Was Also Pathetic
It is a level of pathetic-ness I dislike seeing displayed by Germans, because taken as a whole, German culture that is not pathetic. It is an impressive culture in various stages throughout history.
While German history does not have a big, state-run colonial presence, German culture is replete with colonial examples. By colonial, I do not mean creating military outposts, or creating a mercantilist system of extra-territorial government control. It is a culture able to build decentralized colonies. It is a culture that is so capable and decentralized, that it just naturally sends young adults out in the world, and predicably awesome little outposts of knowhow and industriousness emerge with no central planning.
That is an often unrecognized historical detail that people of German heritage can be proud of.
After World War Two, there was an effort to return Germans to Germany. They had become fundamental to local economies all over Europe and had been there for hundreds of years. The ultimatum in some places was this: "We need you to either go back to Germany or to declare allegiance to the local government, language, and culture."
I know of no German ancestry that might bias me toward this perspective. In fact, I should be contrarily predisposed. What I know is that I have eyes, am widely traveled, and can see many beautiful aspects of German culture in comparison to other cultures of the region - especially the parts of German culture not exposed to communism - and how impressive that culture is to stumble upon time and again: in Europe, the Americas, and beyond.
More awful, is - a great loss for the world - when a German acts in a way that makes the whole group look pathetic. Pathetic is what I would call this sorry behavior from these overly-apologetic German passport-holders I encountered during those years.
But Why Did They Behave This Way?
Knowing how the US educational system works, I can only imagine what type of sensitivity training horror-show existed daily in German classrooms for those fifty or sixty years.
The Marshall Plan (April 1948-December 1951), and its brethren programs, existed largely to shift opinion. Though presented by some as a magnanimous act from one Christian nation to another (America to Germany), done in the spirit of forgiveness and brotherhood - it instead became a pre-Messianic display of perpetual atonement in which the vassal state of Germany was kept weak in spirit, perpetually reminded of their previous wrongdoing, even wrongdoing in which children were not involved, but for which they bore guilt.
Such guilt is not biblical.
Unbiblical Philosophies Are Given Too Much Air In Contemporary Christian Culture
Not even in the Old Testament - especially not through a Christological reading - can this such be considered biblical. However, there has been significant rabbinic discussion on the nature of atonement and the concept of guilt more along the lines of this Marshall Plan style perpetual guilt passed down even through blood.
This is one example that demonstrates after the 70 AD destruction of the Temple, how Judaism is not the same religion. Present-day Judaism is a far-cry from the Old Testament, to the point that it is more accurate to refer to it as Talmudism.
Talmudism is a problematic system for a Christian nation to be influenced by. Our individual behaviors should point to Christ, not to the Talmud. The sum total of behavior of people in a Christian nation should do likewise.
It Finally Stopped - At Least In Some Ways, But In Other Ways It Continued
In time, I am happy to report, Germans stopped engaging in this silliness I experienced on the train. Their national guilt was finally allowed to fade away in this regard. Though, in other regards, not so.
Take, for example, reparations for concentration camps continuing to be paid to Ashkenazi Talmudist residents of those 1940s camps by presentday Germans who had nothing to do with concentration camps. To the best of my knowledge, other survivors of concentration camps do not receive reparations - only Ashkenazi survivors. Even Ashkenazis never in camps receive reparations. Germany in 2019, for example, agreed to extend payments to the spouses of camp survivors, even after the survivor passes away. Also, as a result of the same negotiations, "Righteous Gentiles" from the 1940s who aided the Ashkenazi are eligible to receive money from presentday Germans.
This is not Christian, nor Old Testament, but Talmudic. This perpetual guilt is derived from clear Old Testament language. Heavily massaging the Old Testament to the point of perverting meaning is a common characteristic of Talmudism that shocks many Christians who encounter Talmudism in depth.
It Begs The Question
It begs the question: "When will whitey stop putting up with such nonsense?" The world is made a worse place when people who should know better do not demand higher standards for themselves and those around them.
Many are harmed by those who refuse to address the weight of that question and who instead leave it unanswered.
It seems 2025 was the year of awakening to such nonsense: at least in America. Insightful conversations on philosophy have become de rigueur and while some Ashkenazi claim that Muslims are the main cultural problem in the US, the prevalence of Israeli and Ashkenazi influence in that exact matter has been noticed. Every finger pointing at Muslims points three fingers back at the anti-goyist Ashkenazi.
But between noticing and acting can exist a wide gulf.
The Noticing Has Begun
Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes and others saying things about Israeli influence in American affairs that discomfort established power. It has been interesting to see the three essentially call one or two of the others a fed.
Generally, discussion about whether a person is a fed tends to be un-fruitful. One should behave true to one's character, whether listening to a fed or not. That is the best way to avoid being entrapped by a fed into doing something you do not believe in. Of course, this approach does not prevent entrapment, but there is comfort in languishing in the judicial system, knowing that you did what you believed was right.
Try to always act in line with your character.
I do not pretend that white guilt died, because more people have caught onto the ruse. White guilt may always exist. But enough people have come to terms with Christian philosophy, applying that to America's existence as a Christian country, that it has begun to counter the runaway, toxic anti-goyism called white guilt.
White Guilt Is Not A Christian Concept, But It Is A Talmudic Concept
White guilt is not a Christian concept, nor is it a biblical concept. It is a Talmudic concept, and the difference between what is Christian and what is Talmudic can be a wide gulf.
It is a gulf, unfortunately plastered over by the regrettable term Judeo-Christian. Among the people credibly called Jewish, the most biblical behavior is demonstrated by Karaites, a small percentage of Bible-believing Jews. They best represent what many Christians would understand by the theological term Jewish.
In contrast, Talmudists and the atheist or secular descendants of Talmudists tend to believe in many things that are not what Christians perceive as Old Testament Jewish behavior. They tend to believe in many things that do not deserve appending to the Messiah through a deceitful portmanteau such as Judeo-Christian.
Such unChristian behavior is permitted or even supported by Christians through the loosely applied portmanteau, which is treated as a hall pass of sorts, justifying behaviors wherever applied.
The way it is used is so unChristian and unbiblical that it leaves some wondering if those who use it believe in it having magical powers.
Better Synonyms For Thoughtlessly Used Terms Such As Judeo-Christian
While Americans have been trained to use the term Judeo-Christian thoughtlessly, more accurate terms to communicate the same concept is "Talmudic-Christian," or the more biblical "Pharisaic-Christian."
It is behavior of someone who knows of Christ, but who ultimately rejects Christ, and needs you to keep not noticing polar opposite behavior just a little longer.
That term would apply appropriately to the behavior of Judas Iscariot. Judas would be the correctly named Judeo in the phrase Judeo-Christian. Or it would apply to the behavior of Saul before his conversion experience on Damascus Road. Guarding the coats of the elder Pharisees as they stoned the too-honest Stephen is model Pharisaic-Christian behavior.
Christianity is a sect that grew out of the Old Testament. It needs no adjective in front of it. Everyone gets to come along and be Christian. Everyone is invited - especially Jews. Adding an adjective to the front of Christian is trickster move. It is wrong for Christians to do that with the Messiah. We are specifically called to point people to Jesus, not to water-down the Gospel message so that the aberrant behavior of a Talmudic-Christian or Pharisaic-Christian can go unnoticed for a little while longer.
What is it about such behavior that is so frightening for Christians to just call it as it is?
That TruthoPhobia is not okay.
And I'm not saying that I dislike all Talmudists, in fact there are plenty who I enjoy. For the benefit of everyone, America must shift to clear language on what behavior is Christian and what behavior is Talmudist.
And some people need to be the adults in the room and lead that process. The truth can be uncomfortable, but you don't need to fear it.
The Grift Mill
There are many grifts used to scam money from the collective in America. Collective guilt is one grift.
Propaganda worked into Boomers from a young age, appears ineffective on those below a certain age. That is a hopeful sign. But that is no reason to wait for others to act - which is exactly the kind of apathy that statistics tend to instill in people.
It is, again, Talmudic thinking, rather than Christian thinking - rooted in the collective, and barely considerate of the individual.
In Christian philosophy, you are made in the likeness and image of God - a term intended to mean what it says and not a term in need of excessive rabbinical twisting in order to understand. In Christian philosophy, you will one day stand on your own before the Judgment Seat.
It is not a philosophy that needs a hyphen.
What everyone else is doing matters not.
The collective matters not.
The guilt-inducers matters not.
The whiners, naysayers, and ankle-biters matter not.
The preachers of blood-guilt matter not.
Your accuser matters not.
What you did when you were called to act matters.
The light of civilization, burns in America, and is daily at risk of being destroyed.
What will you do in your life, concretely, to prevent the destruction of America?
What will you do in your life, concretely, to prevent the witness that the people of this land have from being extinguished?
