Lol
That is all I will say.
Mostly it seems to depend on the persistence of someone targeting a fellow poster and which way the wind blows.

Does that mean mentally a block head? If so, I often agree.

One could do a thesis on the GroupThink exhibited by this group over the life of the site. Go back ten years and see the exact same sh*t as yesterday. Wording and all~

Maybe seem worse, because haven't been doing this more than a year and half and only on USMB since late 2019? But, you've only been here 2 years longer, right?

Model Germans with Aryan descent​

Block attendant at work
The block supervisors were the lowest-ranking officials of the NSDAP, each responsible for around 50 households. These model Germans, with Aryan descent dating back to around 1800, not only made propaganda for the party, had collections for the winter relief organization or distributed ration cards, but they also monitored the people who lived in their area: Did they adhere to the air raid regulations? Did they darken their windows when attacked? Did they have a swastika flag and fly it when required? Who was a “friend of Jews” or was even critical of the regime? The block wardens were the first point of contact for denunciations and issued certificates of character. They also kept records of the property and apartments of Jewish Germans and thus carried out crucial preparatory work for Aryanization.

Of course the entire business was farce cooked up by psychos like Hitler and Porsche. No reason is ever provided for believing that these Scandinavian looking, blond, blue-eyed folk of "pure blood" actually arrived in Germany from India or Iran post 1800. Unfortunately though, it worked. The masses proved to be asses.

der größte Lump im ganzen Land

in short:
denouncers are morally scum …..
