“Members of the party were average people who didn’t take part in the genocide”
They knew what the fuck they were signing up for. They’re not stupid. I hate the narrative that those who follow conservative/fascist mindsets are sheep, because that isn’t true. If you follow nazism, you are a nazi. That is it. If you follow an ideology which does an action at the expense of oppressed groups, that isn’t “being average”. That’s just taking advantage of privilege. I can’t believe people would dumb down nazis and conservatives as sheep.
I’m no Nazi apologist…
BUT-
You can’t call someone a Nazi unless they come from the Nazi region of Germany. Anyone else is just a sparkling fascist.
I actually had a friend tell me this once, in 2017 after Charlottesville. When I called those guys Nazis, he said, “You’re minimizing what the Jewish people went through during the Holocaust. If they’re not a member of the NSDAP, they’re not Nazis.”
We need the link to go shit on this guy
The most perturbing question for the liberal is the question of violence. The liberal’s initial reaction to violence is to try to convince the oppressed that violence is an incorrect tactic, that violence will not work, that violence never accomplishes anything. The Europeans took America through violence and through violence they established the most powerful country in the world. Through violence they maintain the most powerful country in the world. It is absolutely absurd for one to say that violence never accomplishes anything.
Most societies in the West are not opposed to violence. The oppressor is only opposed to violence when the oppressed talks about using violence against the oppressor. Then the question of violence is raised as the incorrect means to attain one’s ends.

These sort of people act like the organized violence inflicted by the oppressor was just siblings having a shouting match and having to learn to share space. No sense of the gravity of what they’re talking about.
