Itās kind of a stupid comment by me but I just didnāt fully get how a group of people can be so evil and itās like I didnāt no people myself who remembered world war 2.
I always presumed nothing like this would happen again but Iām not so sure now.
Everyone in Ireland knew what was happening in the laundries here for example but got on with their lives. Those that did put their head above the parrot pit were often ostracized from society and at the end of the day most will choose self preservation - thatās what every creature on the planet is programmed to do.
There were anti nazi movements in Germany ā¦ And other such countries. Righteous people will always stand upā¦ But most will look after their own lot.
How ironic or perhaps appropriate that theyāre one of the major international brands expanding in Israeli illegal settlements in occupied Palestinian territories.
Itās a process and it moves incrementally. Obviously thereās loads to it. But simplified it starts out with the othering of a group, with blaming them for something or other, hate speech is normalised (real good example of this in Israel at the moment) and becomes widespread and then becomes the accepted view across society, the group is dehumanised, itās not seen as wrong to deprived them or rights because theyāre not equal, once theyāre deprived of some basic rights its acceptable to take a away more, they canāt vote, they canāt own land, we can take their possessions off them they should never had them anyway, they shouldnāt even be here letās deport them, round them up and imprison them. As you approach that stage violence quickly becomes acceptable.
Basically as each stage becomes normalised itās easier to move to the next stage. Even the Nazis didnāt start out with killing Jews or āthe final solutionā, they progressed along to it. They didnāt start out with gas chambers either. But as each stage along the way becomes normal the next step towards deeper depravity is easier.
There was a very recent example of fucking weirdos getting all caught up in hysteria and othering a group of people. They went as far as wanting them to wear a symbol so that the fucking weirdos could have a visible sign of the others and they wanted them cut out from society, denied healthcare and any government supports and left to die on the streets. Easy to see how these type of sickos and simpletons could be caught up in Nazi like propaganda. Luckily there was enough good people to face these sick cunts down in that recent example, god knows where we wouldāve ended up if everyone went along with these facist pigs.
