In case you’re curious about how my life is going, today I almost did a murder at church. Specifically, I almost did a murder because if there’s one thing that I absolutely will not tolerate at any time for any reason under any circumstances, it’s NAZI APOLOGIST BULLSHIT.
Listen, I have done copious reading and know a great deal about World War II, and I can talk at length about how, for all intents and purposes, the first country the Nazi regime invaded was their own. That being said, um. Making the statement “Well, no one really knows how they’ll react when there’s a gun at their head, so we really can’t hold the Nazis at fault because the higher ups forced them into it” is…not accurate. Yes, a number of people were complicit because of the implicit threat to their lives and their families, etc, etc. A lot of people were also true believers, but more to the point: a number of people had that same gun held to their head and responded by standing up for the rights of the people around them.
Mitigating circumstances do not an innocent person make.
