Me: Talking about wanting to put Jews in an internment camp is Nazi behavior.
People in my mentions: Okay, but what if the Jews are actually bad this time?
Me: Cool rationalization, still Nazi.
I know popular media depicts Nazis as like vampires, driven by predatory instinct and goth fashion, but they did think they were the good guys. They thought they were noble warriors of justice fighting evil, doing whatever it took to protect their children. Thinking you're a good guy fighting bad guys does not preclude you from acting like a Nazi.
It’s annoying that some people don’t understand that evil people don’t do evil things because they want to be evil. They do them because they don’t think they are evil. The Nazis did what they did because they believed what they were doing was necessary and justified.
People have argued that this tendency comes from people being scared of the possibility that they might be just like the Nazis, too convinced of the righteousness of their cause to see what they have done. Maybe that’s true, or maybe people are just ignorant, either by choice or circumstance.
Who knows, not me that’s for sure.
Genuinely.
And Ive said this before but its so crucial to know.
Hamas and ilk does not sit there rubbing hands thinking theyre being evil and cruel. They genuinely believe they are solving a problem and fulfilling a gd given mandate. That is how they educate the gazan population. That is how nazis were educated. the church. millions of people. They truly and fully believe that ridding the world of (zionists, capitalist, communists, billionaires, throw in whatever dog whistle for Jew you have) is a mitzvah. And THAT is why it is difficult to radicalize these people , who have grown up with this rhetoric.
