History ebbs and flows but terrible wars have been pretty common. The Thirty Years War was bad. Spanish conquest of the New World, Mongol invasions. Lots of death. Not pretty stuff, but it’s what humans are capable of.
But after the Holocaust, people got wussy and decided that being strong was a mistake. I think about this a lot. Hitler handicapped the western world in powerful ways. Our leaders are afraid to hate or fight against the people who are trying to kill us. We’re afraid that if we stand strong, it will lead to “another Auschwitz”.
And this is how we get led to the gas chambers in our turn. The irony is deep.
“Our leaders are afraid to hate or fight against the people who are trying to kill us.”
I agree with you 100% on that statement. Bot
“Hitler handicapped the western world in powerful ways.”
I agree with you 0%.
Whatever functionality Hitler may have served as a effective bureaucrat is insignificant when compared to his total depravity as a moral human being. ...

Seriously?
“people got wussy and decided that being strong was a mistake”
That happened way after Hitler.
The weakness was a leftist response to our strength that was projected around the world AFTER WWII. Starting with Vietnam and all during the Cold War. Hitler didn’t handicap US, in the end he made us stronger because he opened our eyes to evil that exists in the World.
It was our success both around the world and economically at home that raised a generation of spoiled liberals that made US weak. The “free time and money” created by the hard work of their parents sent them out into the world looking for something to complain about. They found their cause and focused their efforts on undermining the very system that produced their freedoms and wealth.
And it was their guilt that allowed them to embrace the Multiculturalism that was just now finding its way into our educational system. The guilt of being wealthy white and free while so many others suffered.
Relativism, in all its forms, is the enemy.
Nazis killed Jews in the mistaken belief they were a threat—now the Muslim Middle Easterners are a real threat. There may come a time when they re-open Auscwitz only for Muslims—or there will come a time when the White Europeans will be pushed into the gas chambers by ISIS. One side must win, and one side lose.
