Truth has many angles or sometimes and yes even confirming it can feel risky even if it's obvious (someone might steer it into something else like courts do when quoting someone that they said x = ok and twist it)

Things can be said in many ways, so this comes into it when language also comes into with it's many things that can be said in many ways (words mean many things also). These things + variations = a big soup of thought!.... which might be representing a culture or manufacturing back then and obviously it's not the only thing good also... I think it's nice to ask and get the feelings on it, sometimes there are good points or historical things to consider.

@freeschool I agree. The perception of reality = thruth seems to be different depending on the person and their personal experiences/ knowledge. Esp lately.
But it is a difference if you say, f.i. "Germans are mindless working drones/robots only hellbent to doing their jobs efficiently" and " YOU are a mindless..." The generalized message is more accepted since everyone sees themselves as the exception of the rule, anyway 😉. But not always, from an outsider it can provoke patriotism...

@freeschool BTW: I don't think German has such a great word like "perception". This is also an example of your point (one word encompasses a whole world of meanings, depending on cultural, historical or religious backgrounds): "nazi" is in America a word for s/o who is very strict and passionate about one topic (fashion nazi), not even in a bad way I think. In Germany, accusing s/o of being one is a killer phrase, just like "granny killer" during the last 2 years.
