I remember when I first learned about what happened during WWII and I wondered how it happened and why people just let it happen. Now that we are living through it, it makes so much sense because it’s literally happening again. It still doesn’t make sense from a logical stand point but the psychology of it is definitely a pattern of human behavior no matter the time period or circumstances. The book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism, helped me understand what we are seeing and experiencing. It’s so painful to watch. Trusting people in authority is apparently a very dangerous path to take in life.
Excuse me S D, those 90% had nowhere to go. The 10% that didn't get on the trains were either very lucky or could pay for a place to hide. Much of this so-called heroic help had to be paid for dearly. And the majority who boarded trains were "kleine Leute", no money, no networks, no protectors. For God's own sake, don't blame them and He, who watched them waiting on the platforms, with their little children, their valises and their pannikins, let Him rest their souls.
Is it really all that different? How many have gotten the shot because if they did not, they’d be unemployed? How many nurses have said no? The number is large, but what percentage do they represent.
Masks are still worn over here in Japan. This in true for the classroom too. Are all teachers, besides myself, ignorant of the fact that we can not teach through a mask? That our students, students around the world are failing horribly because of masks and online only learning? Why am I the only one who refuses to wear a mask? Why am I the only one who has lost 80% of their income? If
My wife was not pulling in big bucks, we would be homeless. I still very well might end up that way.
Most are not wealthy enough nor have enough family support to fight this. It is not being rounded up and boarding trains to death camps, but for many, I’d say most, it is comply or be cut off from employment and society in general. For me, a lot of the mystery of what happened in Japan and Germany leading up to WW2 and during has been solved.
