Some would argue cleansing the East of Slavs and Yooz was evil
Eh, I see this as a parallel to the whole race issue in the US. People want to say the system is racist because 52/13 or whatever the numbers are. It's racist because it affects blacks more.
Well, yeah, it does, but it's that blacks commit more crimes that's really the issue. That they are black is at best, incidental, and at worst, causative. But, they're criminals, so they go to jail, regardless their race.
The parallel I see is that Hitler was trying to wipe out the Communists(the criminals.) It happens, incidentally or otherwise, that a ridiculous many of Communists, were jews and slavs(the blacks.) Most who died, died from natural causes, though no doubt caused by the conditions in which they were kept. For the innocent who may have been swept up with the guilty, this is truly tragic, but it wasn't mass killings and gas chambers. It was disease, and near the end, starvation.
Wiping out Communism, to me at least, isn't evil. Quite the opposite. Communism is a corrosive, corrupting evil that MUST be stopped. It destroys everything it touches.
So at worst, I'd say Hitler tired of differentiating between the good ones and the bad ones and decided they all had to go for the good of his people and country. Leave one bit of rot, and the whole thing will spoil.
I've evolved to the same point, personally. I recognize that there are both good and bad blacks, as in any race. I don't wish death upon them. I just want them the fuck out, and the fastest way there is to just round them all up and get them out.
I got in trouble in High School back in the late 70s for saying I probably would have joined the Nat.Soc Party had I been a German in the 20s -30s. I didn't agree with everything thing they wanted , but it was the best option at the time.
Yeah , didn't go over too well
I imagine not, lol. But it's fun to turn that question around and ask which side they'd have taken during the Bolshevik revolution...if they pick the Bolsheviks, they're supporting actual mass murderers. If not, they're aligned with the NatSocs. Haha.
Pretty much everyone did. Few resisted because the people had shared common pains and been victimized by a singular people; sharing decades and even including a civil war.
As a rule of thumb, I'd consider anyone who claims otherwise a liar unless they can explain how they are special or the exception.
