practices of restitution and reconciliation all too often are tied to a 'prosperous future', sidelining justice and prioritising German economic benefit. Thus, coloniality remains a part of Germany's FFP, contributing to what @maxczollek.bsky.social coined a "theater of reconciliation". /5

Emphasizing a 'shared history' with formerly colonised states, the discourse violently erases legacies and ongoing expressions of German histories of violence. Historical responsibility with a feminist veneer becomes a vehicle to create the impression of a responsible German state. Yet, /4

We find that feminist principles of care and listening - core elements to FFP - serve to stabilise a historically responsible German Self that is a champion in reckoning with its past; a notion that @mamjahid.bsky.social calls "remembrance superiority". /3

To date, Germany's FFP remains the only one mentioning its colonial history and the need to overcome postcolonial hierarchies in its foreign policy. How, then, did German FFP mobilise historical responsibility narratives - a central element to post-1945 German foreign policy? /2
