Who here has criticized the German people for Nazism? Either retroactively or whenever?

[Eliot Rosewater]

Who here has said the average citizen back then should have done more?

1. A google search shows a lot has been written on that, but in truth, I don't know

that the German people could have stopped him (and that is frightening to consider)... But, surely a failure to "stop" Hitler was abetted by a lot of actions and policies from the West. So, I'd be hard pressed to point the blame in only one direction.


What do you think?

2. My point is when are we gonna do more than talk about this or when will MORE people

at least talk about it?

Right now we separate children from parents which is illegal.

Right now we are committing crimes against our own people and the environment yet ...

I mean at least when will HALF of the country talk about it? Let alone DO something?

3. The circumstances were quite different.

What happened in Germany was in a large part due to what was done to Germany by others at the end of WWI. What's happening here is primarily self-inflicted.

4. Even worse then. We have no excuse you mean.

Here is the frightening part, not only does half of the country or about 40% not believe or care he is a traitor, the other 50% while care are paying very little attention to it.

5. Exactly. The post WWI circumstances directly led to the environment that

made Hitler viable.
