   “Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than “politics.” They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. You know who weren’t nice people? Resisters.”

     @aral Why would any decent person want to save Jews, communists and pedophiles (but I repeat myself) from being dragged away to labor camps?

     @aral I agree, Nazis are good people, anti-Nazis are scumbags, glad we could clear that up.

     @johnf It really does take a middle-aged white man to presume to explain to a Jewish person the reality of the lived experience they’ve sharing.

     @aral
     So people who were afraid for their own life or that of their family were nazis according to Naomi Shulman? A bit 'jumping to conclusions' isn't it? It only makes them scared or maybe even cowardly. Any other conclusion only shows your own bias.

     @ChristiJunior @aral let communists and jews and capitalist work for a while, they might even end up reformed.
     The most vile ideas usually come from an idle mind.

     @aral I personally lived through the follow-up German totalitarian regime until I was 12. In my experience AMBITIOUS people were a much bigger problem for resisters than unpolitical nice people. Then again I was only 12 years old, so what do I know. Well I'm closer than Naomi Shulman and you anyway, who are using a questionable secondhand story to frame American politics. But Trump isn't Hitler, Republicans aren't Nazis and you're not in the Nazi-resistance.

     @aral It may be notable that Naomi Shulman's source for that are the stories her mother told her who was born in Munich in 1934 according to Shulman. So by the end of the German Nazi regime her mother was 11 years old - and if other kids of that age are any indication - probably not the best judge of people's character in a totalitarian regime.
