I give to the toys for tots org, and have been on three motorcycle rides for the cause. I'm not going to not go because there will be motorcycle clubs there i happen to disagree with their lifestyle. Just because a facit of someone's life is disagreeable didn't mean they don't love their family, their children, and their community.
It's true, the Nazis did love their families and their community...you know, as long as there were no Jews or blacks or queers or gypsies around.
But what's more important, is that there were tons of Germans that weren't in the Nazi party. They were the neighbors, and they were all like, "Well, Karl my neighbor says some fucked up shit, but he isn't bothering me. The Goldsteins sure don't like him, but he's not bothering me. So whatever."
"Say, honey, when did you last speak to Noah Goldstein? I haven't seen him in a while."
That isn't "an example." That's a fact of history. The Nazis thrived because they had tons of you as their neighbor. Ask a fucking German that had to live with their own behavior after the war. Maybe you'll learn a god damn thing. Read a god damn fucking book for once, for godfucking sake.
I'm tired of having to point out all of this obvious shit about how fascism works, how it thrives, and how people exactly like you are necessary for it to win. It happens every
fucking time. There are museums all around the world, actual entire libraries, and stacks and stacks of corpses as a testament to all of these known facts of this oft-repeated history, that exists in many parts of the world to this day, and can always always always resurface just about anywhere.
It's fucking obnoxious that lazy fucks in this country of all places absolutely refuse to understand these simple god damn points that you were supposed to learn back in high school. It's fucking infuriating.
Seriously: go to the Holocaust museum in DC. Focus on the 2nd floor. Follow the progression of the Third Reich from a little startup group of angry assholes--it is literally the same as the 2016 Trump campaign. The fucking imagery and messaging were stolen right from the Nazis. It's plain as fucking day. Steve Bannon and Steven Miller, all who wrote that shit, absolutely know it. If you don't, then you're being obtuse, and dangerous.
