I don't think my girlfriend's dad is a nazi, I think he's gullible and confused.
If your girlfriend's dad is sitting at a table with 10 Nazis, then you have a table of 11 Nazis.
Trust me, I get it. I've been grappling with the fact that my parents are fucking fascists.
I’ve been struggling with the cognitive dissonance that all of my family are veterans and most are somehow conservative thanks to religion. Wearing the uniform and voting for these traitorous shitbags is still baffling to me.
Not every German Nazi wanted to murder Jews or participated in atrocities. Plenty of Nazis were just "good Germans" who voted for them and lived day to day.
Don't make excuses for Nazis.
People treat him like he's gullible and confused, and he knows that excuse will work, and let him support Nazis with a clear conscience.
I think you’re still in the denial stage
I think you're still in the "my emotions control my reasoning" stage.
It’s been at least 20 years of watching this devolution for me and the oh they don’t mean that, oh it was a joke, oh he’s just misled, oh they’re not really racist, you’re just being emotional, he’s obviously trolling… is what’s got us here. Enough
Just move to the Ghetoo. Don't be scared, don't let your emotions control you.
Just get on the train. Don't be scared, don't let your emotions control you.
Just go into the communal shower room. Don't be scared, don't let your emotions control you.
Just take a deep breathe of the deadly chemicals. Don't be scared, don't cry like a little bitch.
