Hitler only inspired a FEW fanatics. The German ARMY despised the Nazi's and the SS troopers. The few in the SS/Nazi ranks were zealots, and almost all were executed after the war. You make it seem like ALL of Germany knew what was going on at first. They had zero clue, and when they finally figured it out, they had surrendered their arms, and had no means of fighting back.

No, the german army took part as well.

Yes, but technically no.

Yes, they did.

The German army OFFICERS did, and the plebs followed orders or were shot.

Trow where did you go to school, and why did they utterly fail at teaching WWII to you...

Now you're resorting to insults.

No I am not, I said your school failed you, not that you are a failure.

You seem reasonable, and I am sorry that whoever taught you world war II misguided you completely.

They had police forces in Poland that were literally told that they could go home any time they wanted, and they too participated in the genocides.

*sigh*

Also, there were places you could basically buy Jewish slave labor to farm your fields.

The German people were on board with what was happening. And the ones who weren't either didn't speak up soon enough or not at all.

Yes.... and you are bringing up some moot points that are WELL KNOWN. I brought up things that not many know or care to teach.

Let me explain something and let me be EXTREMELY CLEAR, the MAJORITY OF GERMANY had zero clue what was going on until WELL after they had surrendered their guns and could no LONGER FIGHT BACK. Most lived in CONSTANT fear after the realization set in, and either followed orders or were sent to the same camps. IDK if you know this or not, but it wasn't JUST the jews that were murdered en masse. IT WAS ANYONE WHO SPOKE UP OR DIDN'T FALL IN LINE.

Yes, I am well aware.

Over 11 MILLION people were murdered by the Nazi regime, the 6.5m figure was only the Jewish portion of the murders.

Well, for the second half of your point.

I know about the 11m.

That is also well known.

Is it that they didn't know or that they purposefully blinded themselves as todays liberals do?

So, tell me this. If you had no way to fight back, had a family to look after, and you knew that if you spoke up you, and your ENTIRE family (even extended) would be sent to a camp and exterminated. Your wife and daughters would be sent to concentration camps, and used by the soldiers for whatever they desire, and you would just be shot with no trial. Could YOU knowingly send yourself to your death, and subject your wife and children to such a life?

You could flee.

many were blind because they didn't ask, and only followed the crowd.

Is that your argument for what's happening today?

that is my argument for WHY it is happening again.

60% of all humans are sheep and will follow whatever they are told if they view the person telling them as a person of authority.

I think we're getting close to the heart of the matter.

So where I come from is that, the modern day ignorance is no excuse, just as it wasn't back then.

I think people knew very well where it was headed, and they said "As long as it's not my family on the chopping block, it's fine."

I forget the name of the study, but over 50% of people will kill someone if they are told to do it by someone they view as an authority figure. Only 40% will stop once they see that they are hurting someone, and still only 10% out right refused.

sadly you are completely wrong. Ask 100 people, random from the street, if they know who their current 2 state senators are, then ask them if they have seen even 1 Biden speech. After those first 2 questions, ask them if they voted Trump or Biden. You may be shocked to find that only about 10/100 will be able to Answer the first question correctly.

I would honestly say about 60% of all people are low information voters. They vote for whoever has the biggest name. Out of those 60% I bet 50% are so low information they didn't even know what either candidates platform was.

That says less than you think, in my opinion. You don't have to know who your senators are to see the hate these people have.

so figure 30% of all voters have no idea who or what they are voting for.
