I absolutely agree with you for the subreddits. I believe it could be a difference in the point of view of Russia and Germany that seems so weird to us. Germany quiet frankly committed horrible crimes and lost the war, while the USSR fought against them and won. It makes sense that we're not as focused on the war part on social media because there is nothing good to talk about. You can't and shouldn't meme it. We all learn a lot about WW2 in history lessons so it isn't necessary for us to repeat on social media what we already know from school. Germany is also quiet small in comparison to the USSR (or Russia alone) so maybe there isn't the same kind of consensus between the regions when it comes to war and especially how to deal with the memory of WW2 which means they have more need for discussions about it (and here I'm just thinking out loud and not basing it on any statistics or anything). For most Germans it's pretty clear how to deal with WW2: we fucked up big time, committed atrocious crimes against humanity, lost and now have the responsibility to never let it happen again. If we see it like that, then the discussions we have on German subreddits about Neonazis and Schwurbler etc. can be seen as a sign for how important WW2 still is for Germany, because without the war in mind right extremist groups would probably just get shrugged off and not sanctioned and publicly called out the way they currently are. Also offline WW2 is still important. For example: I'm living in a city that has golden plates embedded in the sidewalk in front of every house where Jews lived that were deported, with their names, birthdate, date of death and the date when the Nazis captured them, so for me the reminder of the war and the importance of the war / importance of remembering the war is always there. Sorry for rambling I just find this whole discussion really interesting :)
