Now seems like as good of a time as ever to say this. I have in the past always said that in 1930s/1940s Germany the average German may have or may not have supported the nazis. I have also said that the average German may have or may not have known about concentration camps.
Without the internet, those citizens never had a voice. And it was all too easy for the nazis to round up opposition, and take them to camps.
I have always had people argue me that couldn't happen. That all Germans at that time knew, and supported it. Then they call me a holocaust denier. Which never made any sense to me. I never said it didn't happen.
Point is, without the internet, todays modern american would not have a voice. It would seem like we ALL support maga. We don't. However, there are large portions of americans who think of cops as the good guys. There are people who argue that police don't abuse their power. Simply because their media never tells them about it. Not because they support police brutality, but rather because they believe Rodney King was a single incident.
These same people think you're crazy if you tell them what ICE has been doing, or that we've already turned into a nazi state.
So I'll say it again. The nazis took full power. They never had full support. Maga doesn't have full support. Get your voice out there. Fight maga regardless of what nation you live in, just as your grandparents fought nazis regardless of what nation they lived in.
And now it's time for some personal messages.
Pierre says hello.
They didn't. There were plenty of anti-fascists at the time of nazi Germany. And history remembers them fondly
History, however, does not fondly remember everyone else.
