I hate it when people take all of the human agency out of history. Nothing is inevitable, people make choices, those choices have consequences, FUCKING DEAL WITH IT.

(Anonymous) 2011-09-25 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)By the time when the shit hit the fan Germany was a totalitarian state in which a small political joke would get you arrested. Unless you have lived in North Korea until recently you have no idea what that looks like. Did the Germans look the other way in a big way? Sure. Did plenty of them commit plenty of intentional evil? Sure.
But it's not a uniquely German phenomenon, nor is it something that equally applied to Germans. The White Rose people are not comparable in any shape or form to Mengele.
And your attempt to pin evil as something uniquely German is quite awful. In Hungary 100,000s of Jewish people got send to German concentration during a time where merely 200 German soldiers were stationed there.
Meanwhile in China the Japanese killed millions of civilians. Or to quote a Japanese WWII veteran: "Every Japanese soldier in China raped. Anyone who says different is a liar."
The point the OP might go for is one that you can witness on every battlefield, every time you purchase something that was made by child labor, during every genocide and the silence during every genocide. Evil is not the other. Evil is something that in the end is universally human, something that can be committed with intent, by group pressure, by looking the other way, by purposefully ignoring uncomfortable realities.
Everyone can be evil and you, as someone who is currently reading this on a device that was manufactured in a country where they have executed thousands of political dissidents, are not sitting in the ivory tower of righteousness. You can call other people out on their evil but please beware of the splinter in your own eye. Because the number one thing that allows people to ignore their own darkness is the belief that they are in the light.

(Anonymous) 2011-09-25 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)Can we all just stop pretending that the others are "the bad guys" and that we are the "good guys"? That "us vs them" mentality is what keeps fucking us all over every time humanity could have made real progress.

All conclusions that psychologists came to fifty years ago are still valid?

Re: +1
(Anonymous) 2011-09-26 02:58 am (UTC)(link)Americans stood by and watched as innocent Japanese families were placed in internment camps.
And stood by and watched as people were tortured at Guantanamo Bay.
And then we have the Killing fields in Cambodia.
It goes on and on. Don't act like shit like this only happened in Germany.

ALL GERMANS KNEW ABOUT AND DIRECTLY PARTICIPATED IN THE HOLOCAUST is about the same level of insipidly false historical revisionism as THE HOLOCAUST NEVER HAPPENED.

(Anonymous) 2011-09-26 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)Except the Germans' options wasn't "to do something about fascism in their country", it was "doing sth against your government that will kill you and your family if you step out of line, btw your neighbours are already gone so you better don't even ask where THEY went".
Also, look up what happened to those who DID "do something against fascism".
