Our “inner barbarian” is far closer than we think. Pre WW II Germany was the world’s most educated and advanced nation. Yet, Hitler took it into barbarism in a few years.
Therefore, beware of those who want to emulate Hitler, wanna be tyrants like Obamoids, Liberals, Prog, ad nauseam.
It never turned to barbarism for most.
In 1944 you could still relax in your bauhaus, sip a cognac from a large snifter while you smoked a fine cuban cigar while listening to Wagner as you read Goethe’s Faust, while not quite hearing the murmuring in the background about some “Final Solution”.
Most knew there was a brutal war on. They even knew the enemy was getting closer. But most did not know what 1 more year would reveal.
