“The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal.” ― Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil
How could a nation as advanced as Germany at the turn of the last century, embrace or even tolerate the tyranny of National Socialism? Why did German citizens, many of them sophisticated, so easily conform to and participate in the rabid antisemitic worldview of Adolf Hitler?
History tends to focus on the sinister leaders of WWII: Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, and Adolf Eichmann. These malevolent men were only part of the equation. The state- sponsored ghettos, concentration camps, and systematic murders of more than six million Jews would not have been possible without the tolerance and participation of the German people.Can something similar happen again today in America?
This is the issue of the banality of evil. How ordinary people can become instruments of wickedness against fellow citizens.
~Snip~
Here is some background. Prior to WWII, the prospect of a once peaceful, productive people inflicting inhumanity on mankind again through obedience to a tyrannical government seemed implausible.
The shattered post-World War I German economy was ripe ground for a socialist government to offer attractive solutions to a struggling people. With hyperinflation, vast unemployment, and desperation among working class people, the Nazi Party funded public projects and work schemes might have seemed like a good idea. Throw in public animosity against a struggling democracy, and you had the beginnings of the Third Reich.
Once Germans came under the Nazi spell, demonizing the Jewish people by creating a climate of hostility towards them followed.
~Snip~
We are seeing in real time our own government lull Americans to sleep with mass welfare, bailouts, spiraling government spending, and healthcare mandates – all instituted by “experts”.
Progressives tested the theory of controlling American lives during the COVID-19 pandemic while also weaponizing the federal government against a certain segment of our population. It proved so successful that corporate board members and everyday citizens are now submitting to, tolerating, and even participating in this wicked scheme.
~Snip~
While the silence of progressive politicians embracing the tyranny imposed on our liberty during the pandemic was stunning, radical Members of Congress promoting antisemitism is disgusting. Their puppets are leftovers from Antifa and the Black Lives Matter movements masquerading as pro-Palestinians. They are following with their eyes wide shut; promulgating protests in support of Hamas while attempting to justify the horrific actions of October 7th.
Unfortunately, the potential for this horrible point in human history repeating itself no longer seems farfetched. Shockingly, while America was largely responsible for the demise of National Socialism after WWII, our government may now be a catalyst for the re-emergence of the banality of evil, where ordinary citizens yield to its tyranny. Can it happen here?

Commentary:
Who is really running this administration? Certainly, Biden us not.....
We are being told to follow what our leader tells us, Just as Hitler and yes, Joe Stalin did in the 20th Century.
The question one must ask is, are we repeating the errors of the past, just as George Orwell prophetically wrote?
I was surprised that no one has been aghast at the two vile Hitler like speeches Joe Biden made, One in dark blood red in Philadelphoa and another most recent in Valley Forge about White Supremacy and the MAGA's while shaking his fists.

[Mac1958]

When the voices you choose to trust have you convinced that other Americans are evil, that other Americans are truly your enemy, then you're probably choosing to trust the wrong voices.

 

[there4eyeM]

It would be better if "evil" were reserved for theological discussion. That humans engage in counter-productive collective efforts is, truly, banal.
The current threat to our Republic is the system often called "the duopoly" that assures the dominance of a certain group over the rest of the nation.

 

[Lumpy 1]

Well, Democrats certainly fell in line with the lies when covid hit, that was worrisome and now refusing to accept that Biden is completely unqualified and really, the woke agenda makes perfect sense .. then let’s finish up with wide open borders and terrorists flowing in .. well you gotta start to wonder at minimum.

Perhaps belatedly you have noticed Project Chaos in action .
Those not making the deduction of its source deserve to get what is planned for them .
Deep State simply uses the CIA and the Left ( primarily but not exclusively) to further a deliberate policy which is aimed at Gullible people being controlled .
Are you are telling us that it is working ? Something which we have been pointing out for years .
And quite possibly it will reach its planned end when the October 7 False Flag reaches its next stages -- so far that is moving exactly as forecast , albeit apparently totally disbelieved here .

Why are we here?
Because we're here, roll the bones........


Interviewer: The Soviets use the phase, “ideological subversion”. What do they mean by that?


Bezmenov: Ideological subversion is the process which is legitimate overt and open. You can see it with your own eyes. All you have to do, all the American mass media has to do is to unplug their bananas from their ears, open up their eyes and they can see. There’s no mystery. There’s nothing to do with espionage. I know espionage intelligence gathering looks more romantic, it sells more deodorants through their advertising, probably. That’s why your Hollywood producers are so crazy about James Bond type of thrillers. But in reality, the main emphasis of the KGB is not in the area of intelligence at all! According to my opinion, and the opinion of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion or active measures, (2 Russian words, активные something, I couldn’t catch it) in the language of the KGB, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is, to change the perception of reality of every American to such as extent that in spite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community and their country.

It’s a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages, the first one being demoralization. It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years which is required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of your enemy. In other words, Marxism / Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generations of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism, American patriotism.

The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already, for the last 25 years, actually it’s over fulfilled because demoralization now reaches such areas where previously not even Comrade Andropov and all his experts would even dream of such a tremendous success. Most of it is being done by Americans to Americans thanks to a lack of moral standards. As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter any more. A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures, even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him a concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it until he’s going to receive a kick in his fat bottom. When a military boot crushes his balls, then he will understand, but not before that. That’s the tragedy of the situation of demoralization.

The next stage is destabilization. This time, the subverter does not care about your ideas and the patterns of your consumption, whether you eat junk food and get fat and flabby, it doesn’t matter anymore. This time, and it takes only from 2 to 5 years to destabilize a nation, what matters is essentials, the economy, foreign relations, defense systems. And you can see quite clearly that in some areas in such sensitive areas as defense and economy, the influence of Marxist / Leninist ideas in the United States is absolutely fantastic. I could never believe it 14 years ago when I landed in this part of the world that the process will go that fast.

The next stage of course is crisis. It may take only up to 6 weeks to bring a country up to the verge of crisis. You can see them in Central America now.

And after crisis, with a violent change of power, structure and economy, you have a period of so called normalization. It may last indefinitely. Normalization is a cynical expression born from Soviet propaganda. When the Soviet tanks moved into Czechoslovakia in ’68, Comrade Brezhnev said, “Now the situation in brotherly Czechoslovakia is normalized!” This is what will happen in the United States if you allow all these smucks to bring the country to crisis, to promise people all kind of goodies and a paradise on earth, to destabilize your economy, to eliminate the principle of free market competition, and to put a Big Brother government in Washington D.C. With benevolent dictators like Walter Mondale who will promise lots of things, never mind whether the promises are fulfilled or not.

I like Hannah , always have but BofE really missed the boat, the ocean, everything
Bettina Stangneth in her book Eichmann before Jerusalem exposed the 'banality' of the first book
A reviwer { . Her main purposes in writing the book seem to be to rebut the controversial Arendt hypothesis that Eichmann was a simple cog in the Nazi mass murder machine and to show that he was a committed National Socialist and anti-Semite who believed that the extermination of the Jews was a worthy objective in a time of war. She shows convincingly that Eichmann was truly evil and that he was certainly not banal as he was characterized by Arendt. As noted by his Israeli interrogators he was an intelligent man and fully understood what he was doing.

And I find about 90% of the atheist statements about religion on here to be babyish nonsense.
Eichmann said --- and they would all deny the very possibility esp the guy with the Biden in sunglasses (who is as dumb as dumb gets)
======> Eichmann stated in court that he had always tried to abide by Immanuel Kant's categorical imperative.

But atheists on discussion sites for some reason are lazy folk.Watch , you will not be able to miss it.

[JoeB131]

How could a nation as advanced as Germany at the turn of the last century, embrace or even tolerate the tyranny of National Socialism? Why did German citizens, many of them sophisticated, so easily conform to and participate in the rabid antisemitic worldview of Adolf Hitler?

Same way Americans supported Trump.

Except Germans went through Hell for two decades before they finally turned to Hitler in 1933.

Americans had it pretty good in 2016, but there WAS A NEGRO IN THE WHITE HOUSE!

Here is some background. Prior to WWII, the prospect of a once peaceful, productive people inflicting inhumanity on mankind again through obedience to a tyrannical government seemed implausible.
The shattered post-World War I German economy was ripe ground for a socialist government to offer attractive solutions to a struggling people. With hyperinflation, vast unemployment, and desperation among working class people, the Nazi Party funded public projects and work schemes might have seemed like a good idea. Throw in public animosity against a struggling democracy, and you had the beginnings of the Third Reich.
Once Germans came under the Nazi spell, demonizing the Jewish people by creating a climate of hostility towards them followed.

Except the Germans weren't peace-loving before WWII. Did you miss WWI?

The problem with Hitler is that he was Germany's worst instincts. Hitler didn't invent German anti-Semitism, that was ingrained in German culture for centuries. The Germans fully believed they were entitled to an empire that involved other people's land, which is not only why the Germans went along with it, but the Austrians were happy to sign up! (As were many other non-German nations.)

The problem with National Socialism was not the "Socialism", which there was very little of, but the extreme "Nationalism".

Who is really running this administration? Certainly, Biden us not.....
We are being told to follow what our leader tells us, Just as Hitler and yes, Joe Stalin did in the 20th Century.
The question one must ask is, are we repeating the errors of the past, just as George Orwell prophetically wrote?
I was surprised that no one has been aghast at the two vile Hitler like speeches Joe Biden made, One in dark blood red in Philadelphoa and another most recent in Valley Forge about White Supremacy and the MAGA's while shaking his fists.

Yes. Thats why we stopped the MAGA's from pushing the most unAmerican agenda

White Christian Nationalism

The biggest scam currently going.

For those to young to remember, or have fallen victim to the cult of MAGA.
Started in 1978 by Jerry Falwell, among others, to defeat Jimmy Carter.

Fortunately, we have the internet today, so it has become easier to defeat them, and they are losing the youth of America with their message of hate, bigotry, and wilfull ignorance.

The Banality of Evil in America?​

Rep. Keith Self: The Banality of Evil in America? | The Gateway Pundit | by Rep. Keith Self

“The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal.”― Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil How could a nation as advanced as...

“The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal.” ― Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil
How could a nation as advanced as Germany at the turn of the last century, embrace or even tolerate the tyranny of National Socialism? Why did German citizens, many of them sophisticated, so easily conform to and participate in the rabid antisemitic worldview of Adolf Hitler?
History tends to focus on the sinister leaders of WWII: Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, and Adolf Eichmann. These malevolent men were only part of the equation. The state- sponsored ghettos, concentration camps, and systematic murders of more than six million Jews would not have been possible without the tolerance and participation of the German people.Can something similar happen again today in America?
This is the issue of the banality of evil. How ordinary people can become instruments of wickedness against fellow citizens.
~Snip~
Here is some background. Prior to WWII, the prospect of a once peaceful, productive people inflicting inhumanity on mankind again through obedience to a tyrannical government seemed implausible.
The shattered post-World War I German economy was ripe ground for a socialist government to offer attractive solutions to a struggling people. With hyperinflation, vast unemployment, and desperation among working class people, the Nazi Party funded public projects and work schemes might have seemed like a good idea. Throw in public animosity against a struggling democracy, and you had the beginnings of the Third Reich.
Once Germans came under the Nazi spell, demonizing the Jewish people by creating a climate of hostility towards them followed.
~Snip~
We are seeing in real time our own government lull Americans to sleep with mass welfare, bailouts, spiraling government spending, and healthcare mandates – all instituted by “experts”.
Progressives tested the theory of controlling American lives during the COVID-19 pandemic while also weaponizing the federal government against a certain segment of our population. It proved so successful that corporate board members and everyday citizens are now submitting to, tolerating, and even participating in this wicked scheme.
~Snip~
While the silence of progressive politicians embracing the tyranny imposed on our liberty during the pandemic was stunning, radical Members of Congress promoting antisemitism is disgusting. Their puppets are leftovers from Antifa and the Black Lives Matter movements masquerading as pro-Palestinians. They are following with their eyes wide shut; promulgating protests in support of Hamas while attempting to justify the horrific actions of October 7th.
Unfortunately, the potential for this horrible point in human history repeating itself no longer seems farfetched. Shockingly, while America was largely responsible for the demise of National Socialism after WWII, our government may now be a catalyst for the re-emergence of the banality of evil, where ordinary citizens yield to its tyranny.

"The problem with National Socialism was not the "Socialism", which there was very little of, but the extreme "Nationalism". - JoeB

In other words, Socialism good. Nationalism bad. Yup. Sounds like JoeB in a nutshell...

Socialism is just the early stage of communism.

America could very easily fall into the same kind of tyranny as German experienced in the 1930s-40s.
Easy.
We are already there in some circles. Higher education as an example.
The DEI boards have turned our best universities into little Nazi camps where free speech does not exist. Where you say the wrong thing, and your career is cancelled. Immediately.

The left allowed the fringe nuts take over their party. The only reason they haven't already turned America is they don't have enough of them in Washington. Only a handful in Congress.
The executive branch is another thing. Biden is a puppet on strings by the zealots who are so clearly running things. But they are held in check by Republicans and moderate Democrats.
All it takes is someone like Newsom getting elected President, and enough leftist to hold the majority in Congress and we are there.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

When the voices you choose to trust have you convinced that other Americans are evil, that other Americans are truly your enemy, then you're probably choosing to trust the wrong voices.

Your TDS was unavailable for comment.

 

[Mac1958]

Your TDS was unavailable for comment.

Yet I don't think either you or he are evil, I don't hate either one of you, I'm not "at war" with either of you, and neither of you is my "enemy".

So you just remain clueless and paranoid.
