Most won't move. Even if their child dies. Mass psychosis is what we saw in Germany in 1920s/30s. Remember those history films and documentaries when some Germans interviewed 30 yrs later about Nazi atrocities only begrudgingly acknowledged (some with "I didnt know" to not as bad as you paint it" kind of comments) what was going on?

History repeats itself.
Question is did it take the majority to change things?-- no it didn't-- it took infighting and greed for power within Nazi ranks (starting to see this), mental health deterioration (Hilter) and bad financial/economic state (we are going there clearly). Thats what gets some going-- then the enablers hide and then they are hunted down-- imprisioned or killed.
History repeats itself. Everything is a cycle. We all need to read and pay attention to our human history.😊
I never fully understood mass psychosis and group think until this 18 months. One question I have now is why are so many prone to this, and yet a great many others are not?
Some feel its a spiritual connection. Not necessarily religious but those who feel there is a connection amongst us and who feel their lives have purpose . There are so many definitions. Some feel that it is those who can stay in their light their integrity. That can be a good resistance to the mass propaganda which facilitates the psychosis. Signs of resistance? Critical thinking questioning and minimizing the import of authority. You can see confidence and self reliance. In my work i see many who have suffered all forms of trauma that can minimize the ability to resist. Dr. Gabor Mate is a wonderful resource on this topic.
You bring up a fascinating issue that few Americans ever even think about. Have you ever asked yourself why we "learn" or at least "are exposed to" so much emphasis on all the evil the Nazis did? No one denies they did various awful things, 1930s-1945. Yet did you know the Soviet Union, even well before WW II, had a self-inflicted death count far exceeding even the worst estimates of the Nazi murders (excluding combat deaths). Yet the Communists then, and later, generally had kinder treatment by Western intellectuals, in marked contrast to the vilification heaped upon Nazi and post-war Germany. This is merely one fascinating example of what -- and isn't -- taught in world history, and if investigated leads to many troubling questions about the veracity of many historical events and why some are emphasized and others memory-holed.
Hey Satan (two words I've never written before). You ever wonder why the Soviets and Nazis (and, heck, let's throw in the Catholic Church while we're at it), slaughtered so many millions of people? In the case of the Catholic Church, I think it's pretty obvious that the motive was to destroy knowledge of the pagan religions being practiced throughout Western Europe (the snakes St. Patty "removed" from Ireland were Druid priests as there were no snakes on the island at that time). But what about the Soviets and the Nazis? I, personally, am not convinced that it was all about eliminating any and everyone who might pose a threat to the regime. Have any thoughts on that?
