Have you ever wondered how normal Germans could become the evil Nazis and Jew-killers? They were just normal people!? How could they do this to their fellow humans??
1. Dehumanisation. The Nazi ideology called for the removal of Jews from society. The Jews were the parasites of Germany, and they must be separated. At the early stage, only few call for extermination because that would be barbaric! Later, however, we find out that we cannot remove the Jews peacefully. But they are still here and these bloodsuckers must be removed immediately. There's only one way: Extermination.
But right now, nobody normal is willing to do it. Although our dear leader calls for it, we cannot do it. We are still empathetic humans.
2. Drugs. Alcohol, methamphetamine. Maybe cocaine, speed, or something similar (I don't know drugs 🤣). Pump yourself full, until you feel nothing or little. Now you're up to the task. Your human side is gone.
3. Peer pressure. The highest authority called for the extermination. We must complete the task, everybody together. Anyone who chickens out is a coward who lets others carry the burden.
Now you've transformed an ordinary German guy into a Jew-killing Nazi! My source: "Ordinary Men", Christopher Browning
Btw, this works with anyone against anyone.
ISIS, Soviet Union, Macias' Equatorial Guinea, Rwanda 1994, Red Khmer Cambodia, now Russia against Ukraine, basically all people around the world have done this since the beginning of time. This isn't new and will continue until the end of time.
