except being a "denier" isn't the only way to "cast off moral responsibility," it's one particular method that specifically involves revisionist history.
Truth be told, I don't care about "moral high ground" on a national level. This country has plenty of sins. I think it's a gross exaggeration that it's somehow worse than Nazi Germany, but yea.

actually I said "I'm done crying for...." and the reason given was that they were "wasting the continent."
Yes that comment was trivializing and was intended as such. It wasn't intended 100% seriously though.

actually I did at one point make the distinction that obviously the raping, pillaging, and other forms of overt violence and intentional displacement wasn't justified.
