During the last few days I noticed a few people demanding that every Ukrainian refugee in Germany who is of able bodied age should be forced back to Ukraine to either fight on the front or work in ammunition factories or hospitals. As far as I can tell no major publication or politician has echoed this sentiment yet. I hope that will stay this way. But the sheer audacity with which these people demanded strangers to be sent to their death is astounding. "Fighting to the last Ukrainian" really is something they want and it sickens me.

I see, yeah, there are probably a lot of reasons, though "preventing the next Hitler" is something I hadn't really thought about much. That's what our libs say about Putin too, but for some reason it didn't occur to me that Germans would take a strong stance because of that.

Though it is kind of scary to see the nation that literally empowered Hitler not actually teach anything about his rise to power. I expect it from my own country, but Germany? I guess it does make sense. I've often thought that the "next Hitler" will goosestep into the room and declare the enemies of western capital "nazis" as a way to get people on board with Fascism, but it really does seem like that's Germany's actual plan, instead of it just being incidental.

If socialism ever does rise in the west and we don't just descend into barbarism, I have no real idea how we could properly educate and deprogram the masses, so much bullshit is pushed into their heads, and it is so "easy" to believe, while actual attempts at understanding history require a ton of energy and nuance.
