Abe to pay tribute to 'Japan's Schindler' in Lithuania: A Japanese diplomat who saved 6,000 European Jews from the Holocaust by issuing visas to allow them to escape war-torn Lithuania will be hailed by Japan's prime minister, decades after defying Tokyo to help the refugees.

"Stannis is a killer, the Lannisters are killers, your father was a killer, your brother is a killer, your sons would be killers some day: the world is built by killers, so you'd better get used to looking at them"

I note with interest the overlap between countries that are said to need to live in perpetual institutionalized guilt and penance because of something their ancestors did and the list of countries the UN would like to see 'demographically replaced' (Japan, Germany, US, UK, France). I note with equal interest notable absences from the list such as China, Rwanda, Cambodia, Syria, Iraq, and Sudan.

Almost as if the countries to be shamed are chosen not by the severity of the offense their ancestors committed but by the political value of demoralizing the population.
