To answer the question, I care.
I don’t believe in a strong self determinism and I’m more of the opinion that if most of “us” were in the wrong sociopolitical circumstances we could very well be racist murderers.
Stopping them from doing what they got duped into doing is an end that justify many means, but there’s a significant difference between the leaders and the followers.
I think that societal conditioning can definitely turn people into awful people, agreed. I remember being a kid in junior high school and having friends pressuring me to participate in bullying other kids with them, and this to me seems like a similar thing. It is extraordinarily hard to resist one’s conditioning when surrounded by an entire culture trying to mold you into a monster on purpose.
I also don’t really subscribe to ‘A nazi is a nazi’ mentality, generally, because there are thousands of Nazis who were subversive in the ways they could be. Examples include Oscar Schindler and Wilm Hosenfeld. Both Nazis, both known to have helped people where they could or otherwise subvert the Nazi war effort.
Most, though, were just regular joes whose names (though not their stories) are lost to history. In the situation at the time it was often necessary, if you were collaborating with resistance forces, to use a false name or no name at all.
When you translate the word Nazi from German to English, it becomes Maga. You’re Welcome!
Can you post it somewhere that isn’t catbox? They block random people from their domain.
Absolutely right, but Jews don’t factor into the Lefts anti-nazism. Jews are just a nuisance now that they want to defend themselves. Jews are now targeted by “The Left” everywhere.
I’m a Jew. I have not been targeted by the left everywhere.
Jew and Israeli are not synonyms. They never have been and they never will be as long as I am alive and not forced to go there by the evangelicals who think I should be so Jesus can return. Because that is the only way I would ever set foot in that genocidal apartheid state.
How about you don’t speak for me?

So gross. I hope they all get turned down for great opportunities because of these images. (Unless they’ve since discarded hateful ideology and reformed themselves.)
