Every nation has a minority quite willing to do government-sponsored, sadistic, SS-like work. The Russians had their Bolsheviks, for example. It is the duty of all good people to prevent a fascist minority from taking power.
What many on the left cannot understand is that their intolerance breeds fascism.
In the past, the Germans have been both arrogant and quite willing to an accept authoritarian leader (the Kaiser, the Fuhrer). That's a bad combination. The Japanese were the same way.
Let's hope things have changed.
Exactly. Instead of looking for some ethnic, nationality, or racial commonality to the evil doings of people in history, look at their political bent, always leftist, totalitarian.
Even here.
No shortage at Waco. No shortage when the only alien clinton hated - Elián González - was deported at gunpoint. No shortage at the Bundy ranch. No shortage at the IRS. No shortage at the EPA...
“Let’s hope things have changed.”
They haven’t. The names change but they’re still attached to humans and humans are infinitely fallible. All these atrocities will happen again... and again... and again, ad infinitum.
