Who would have thought, that not one German, not one single German, disagreed with Hitler, and disagreed with his policies enough to assinate him.

Some of them did of course but the majority did not. Why? Because he gave them food and jobs and wealth and someone else to blame all their troubles on.

The German people knew or guessed for the most part what was going on. You could practically throw a stone from Dachau and hit the camp. But wealth was pouring in from the conquered lands and Germany was feared if not respected. Better not to look or question. It would all turn out all right wouldn’t it?

Willful blindness.

With a twist...

The American people knew or guessed for the most part what was going on. You could practically throw a stone from NJ and hit the UN building . But tax dollars were pouring into other countries and America was feared if not respected. Better not to look or question. It would all turn out all right wouldn’t it?

Willful blindness.
