There’s an episode of Behind the Bastards that does exactly that… basically it was slightly upper middle class that was afraid of their life changing…
Same goddamn thing will happen here unfortunately
Yup.
Too many people have Dancing With The Stars and Doritos and aren’t willing to sacrifice that to stop a fascist takeover. Little do they know that by the time they lose those things, it’ll be too late. And under the best case scenario that the fascist regime is overthrown after a few years and a ton of bloodshed, they’ll then spend the rest of their lives living in a society being rebuilt and economically broken, assuming they’re still alive.
Idiot humans that can’t learn from history that’s within living memory. Blow right past all the opportunities to avoid an awful future without shedding any blood. This November was probably the last opportunity for that.
There were resistance movements, some of which got quite famous. Most well-known to me would be Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a Lutheran theologian who was quite vocal about his opposition to the Nazi regime and eventually participated in plans to assassinate Hitler. It failed, as we know, and he was sentenced to death for his role. He very much grappled with the question of whether murdering a tyrant was a sin, but eventually came to the conclusion that it had to be done either way.
He also petitioned the allies to differentiate between Germans and Nazis once the war was over, pertinent to your post.
If the status quo is NAZI and you do not challenge it … then you will be remembered as a NAZI. That is all there is to this. And that is fair.
Or a MAGA in this case
Well that’s easy: everyone outside of the concentration camps more less supported them or did enough to not end up in one of the camps. Of course there were a bunch of rebellious groups of people who actively stood up against the government. Of some of them we know, others might have been forgotten. But I think with that we’re already covering at least 75% of the population. You might find the list of companies involved in the holocaust interesting. Not exactly people but you can extrapolate from there: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_involved_in_the_Holocaust
About the same proportion as is actively pretending not to notice now.
