minus-squareRemember_the_tooth@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up40·2 months agoThat’s a really good point. It makes more sense to me to ask, “What would it take for me to do that? What would it look like?” rather than just tell myself, “I would never…”
minus-squarecalliope@retrolemmy.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up36·2 months agoVigilance and education (and vigilance in education) seem important, that’s all I got. If anyone has the chance, I really do recommend reading the book. It looks academic but it’s really easy to read despite being written in 1953. The author was Jewish, but kept that totally hidden while doing the interviews to avoid the obvious. Which makes the above even more crazy. “I thought I’d hit paydirt” because someone was finally going to talk about killing his people. Nope.
