Germans were normal people who turned a blind eye to concentration camps as they continued on with their lives.

Just like how the majority of Americans turn a blind eye to the modern Gestapo rounding up anyone who is brown, and sending them off without due process.

    I mean, Americans have turned blind eyes to roiling problems for decades.

    What feels different is the curtain is pulled back now, at least for the rest of the world and many folks here, because everything turned into Idiocracy.

    Americans may not be doing anything about it, but I also have a lot of family that’s sorta realizing “Oh… Reconstruction failed really hard, didn’t it?” Or “Oh… we’re a surveillance state.” And are looking back on lives and seeing some nasty shit (like bigoted aunts/uncles and worse) for what it was.
