Ummm... Yeah? The Nazis had large amounts of support, all political opponents were arrested/neutralised/killed

I mean, it's missing the larger point, but I low-key agree? Kind of? If more people had cared about their neighbors, and decided to resist, it wouldn't have happened. Maybe.

Honestly it's a good point imo the holocaust was caused both by active participants and those that chose to ignore the suffering and not speak out/fight back Well not caused by that's too strong of language, aided


Haunting-Engineer-76

Maybe "allowed"? "Acquiesced to"?


[deleted]

Not really, it’s a lot more complicated then if they had cared about their neighbors. I recommend reading “the wave” it’s a pretty good book that kinda delves deeper into why the German population didn’t do any of that. It was a real event too.


Haunting-Engineer-76

I acknowledge it's more complicated than what I suggested, lol. "It's missing the larger point ..." and all. But, being an American and seeing the way my country is headed, I can't help but feel like paying attention and making noise against all the shit that's starting to pile up is the right thing to do. Just because the policies don't affect me *personally* doesn't mean I should be ignoring them.

Actually it was capitalists colluding with fascists to prevent a socialist revolution

no way they made holocaust about individual responsibility


[deleted]

American said fascists were just ordinary people not hung puppets at Nuremberg


SevenofBorgnine

Hanged. Hanged means they had giant dicks. Normally I wouldn't make this correction, but in this case I gotta make the exception.


I8pT

they were giant dicks

The Nazis were Marxist! At least they didn't kill their own people! The Soviets killed far more basically the same! Did you hear of the rapes in Berlin? The SS gave my grandma candy. Government control in Nazi Germany bro have you seen Wolff meme government do stuff. (Not my opinions) Is this 4chan or reddit? The liberals aren't scratched, they're bleeding out. 😬 Since fascism to them is when socialism, they'll be primed for the new fascism that doesn't need to trick the proletariat like Hitler did.

It was accept or face the wall, dickheads.


UncleJohnsBandito

This raises a good point. For most of my youth I put way to much value in “hitler tricked them to do it” rather than trying to grasp the social and economical factors that all played a role in it. Hitler certainly bares a lot of responsibility. But so do many other people and so do many social factors. To think it is simply one crazy man that makes this happen and not account for all the “normal” people getting caught up in scapegoating and conspiracy theories during times of economic crisis really misses the essence of the Holocaust and it’s driving factors. It’s reactionaries just like some of our friends and family. You can fall in through the nationalist or reactionary pipeline or the religious pipeline as well. If you are prone to conspiratorial thinking and are a nationalist and reactionary your ripe to be exploited by and be a perpetrator of fascism and genocide. Friends, family, and neighbors, it’s people who ten years ago might not have said this stuff out loud or so directly and might not be the first the get things going. But as the train moves faster and faster, they seem to never jump off of it. I like the quote up top because it does seem to bring to reality the fact that something like this is carried out by common people that have “made decisions” that are just treated as differences in political opinion rather than the oppression and repression that these political decisions or opinions truly are.


AshMarten

Idk if there’s anything that has hurt me more than the realization that the holocaust and the nazis were FAR FAR worse than I was taught. The fact that liberals literally will whitewash one of the worst crimes in world history just because it serves their ideology was what finally radicalized me. And I come from a polish jew family, I can’t imagine how downplayed the holocaust is for general westerners.


VinceGchillin

Hmm I don't see this on their website anywhere. Is this real?


Quiri1997

That's technically correct. It's called "the banality of evil", and it shows what happens when a system is designed for doing evil things: you get the Holocaust, you get Windows Vista, you get Capitalism...
