Powerful observations by Dennis.
The willingness of the American Public to submit to the tyranny of the past few months is breathtaking.
I intellectually have long understood "The Good German" conundrum--but now I have lived it.
Fat pompeo and chris miller are not far behind.
My belief is that one of the reasons why America is falling under socialism is because God is allowing it to happen in order to show that no society or people or tongue or race is immune from the danger of it.
When every knee bows before the Christ, it will be in recognition that every one of us could have been a socialist and was at risk of oppressing his fellow man.
Thank you for posting.
Now I must begin my search for where I will retire (if ever) as an ex Pat overseas. Right now I think Croatia or Poland.
Great observation by DP. Makes a lot of sense looking around. The only universal issue around the good German or Russian or Frenchman, is their society was clearly completely out of whack......as is the US today.
Like the Jews in exile, some remnant survived.
We've been living in this since the 1960s. Just look at the laws put on the books since then, all designed to make sure successive generations had more irrational takes and fewer contributors.
I would choose Philippines. That country doesn’t have the money to impose any serious level of population control.
Germans culturally were not used to an Democratic institutions (From the Kaiser (royalty) to the the Weimar Republic which went straight into disastrous socialism — just before Hitler rose to power after communists were battling in the streets).
Germans followed what the ‘big men’ in their country and their traditions told them to do. Hitler had to start his most atrocious crimes only after the war started and still had to largely hide it all from the population or chance being overthrown (there was a reason the big extermination camps were in Poland away from Germany).
Hungary doesn’t sound too bad either, however I hear learning the language is a *****.
I have often wondered if part of the good German image was a ruse.
Laying low until an opportunity presents itself to do something.
No doubt some of them were working for the underground but could not risk being caught. What good would it do for everyone who opposed Hitler to be shot or sent to concentration camps.
Someone had to be around when it was all over to pick up the pieces.
Lookit all the Good Germans...
Dennis has earned the status of national treasure - a title he shares with the likes of Thomas Sowell, VDH, Shelby Steele, Rush Limbaugh, Peter Robinson and select group of others
It goes without saying that George Soros knows this very well. And he is going to his death making sure this happens in the America he hates.
Prager is correct, as he often times is.
Imagine if there had been protests back then by conservatives specifically because of the creation of the Department of Education, and repeatedly every year and perhaps even twice a year, that could’ve aided Reagan when he attempted to begin to get rid of the DoE, to put pressure on the senators and congress back then.
But instead, everybody went, voted, and then went silent for 729 days. Reagan was left out in the cold, without any help from us at all!!! And here we are, decades later, with a near majority of young citizens believing the lie that America is racist despite easily retrievable facts. Paying the price for all that apathy.
Now the 1619 Project would probably still exist all the same, but there wouldn’t be a vehicle for it into the schools.
How progressivism begets more progressivism..................
This is the answer.
I used to have to go to Hungary on business. They say that if you are not born Hungarian, you can never understand the language. I never tried.
Not sure about the apathy part, but the “I never thought it could happen here” part is the common thought before it did happen there.
Now it’s our turn. Will we be any different?
Nope, it happens here, too, unless Jesus returns first or we really could trust the plan after all.
