Dietrich Bonhoeffer argued that stupid people are more dangerous than evil ones. This is because while we can protest against or fight evil people, against stupid ones we are defenseless — reasons fall on deaf ears. Bonhoeffer’s famous text, which we slightly edited for this video, serves any free society as a warning of what can happen when certain people gain too much power. https://sproutsschools.com/bonhoeffer... Riding The Wave In The Wave directed by Alex Grasshoff the main subject is Nazism and how it came about, however I think that is an over simplification of the real danger we face. If you have not watched the wave I highly recommend doing so, but do not concentrate of the Nazi's or think that it is showing you that the methods used, such as discipline and jumping up and snapping out fast answers are key components in creating a compliant group who will blindly and unquestionably follow you the hell without even buying a return ticket. This is not meant to down play the very real danger we are all in with the rise of what can only be considered the 4th Riche in central Europe, as pointed out in the wave it only takes a small percentage of extremist, the question is why did everybody else blindly allow them to rise up and continue to support them? The truth is that with the aftermath of world war one Germany was in chaos, with violent revolutions spreading throughout Germany. There were multiple factions springing up behind multiple banners, though President Ebert used the German army and the Freikorps to crush the revolutions. The people were not united, many groups seeking to have their own agendas addressed formed loose alliances, Hitler and those backing him managed to use this situation to their advantage. The people were frustrated and looked to a strong group who they naïvely believed would help them obtain their goals. There is an Engraving of the confession in poetic form presented at the New England Holocaust Memorial in Boston, Massachusetts which has an abridged version of the following. First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me. It is important to consider that there was a chronological order to the above poem, a systematic removal of all and anyone who stood in their way. Though they were not in fact ticking off a list, the Nazis would remove any real or imagined threat that arose as soon as it was possible to do so, what the list shows is a planned targeting of groups as it became convenient and socially acceptable though the tuning of their narrative, it is also important to understand that the above list is far from complete. But this is all in the past many my say, times before in many cases their Grandfathers were born, 'it could never happen again!' some may even cautiously add a 'Could it?' We have progressed since the 1920's, we are more informed these days, we are civilised! aren't we? Well the answer is not a simple yes or no, but the question is an important one. I will continue looking into this question in future posts here, for now I will leave you with something to consider. A divided people, looming economic disaster, an apparent righteous cause used to galvanise the masses behind a symbolic flag, Questioning voices are being silenced, and an armed extremist group is being portrayed as the the good guys. Where is this leading us? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTaMd... https://caitlinjohnstone.substack.com...
