I am reading “Inside the 3rd Reich”, by Speer. I am convinced that people like Speer were not evil or immoral people. They were amoral- no foundational belief in right and wrong.
I do not believe they were amoral... some were.... certainly, but many were raised with perfectly normal moral foundations... but when the systems that encourage, promote an reinforce that moral foundation, or twist it... you wind up with normal good people doing horrendous things.
This is the lesson of the Nazis.... Most of those doing the dirty work were not monsters, they weren’t amoral... they were normal every day people... and they did the heinous things they did anyway.
This is the fallacy of modern man, they believe that man is innately good... and NOTHING could be further from the truth.... Man is only good when the good inside them is nurtured and reinforced.... left to their own devices, man is evil and wicked.
