The Holocaust was made possible by the everyday Germans outside of the Nazi party and not part of the military or police. They were the ones who snitched on their neighbors hiding Jews. They were the ones who took part in the public executions not at dissimilar to lynchings of black people in the United States. They profited from the war that was plundering its way through Europe.

It's no different here. Liberals, like the Germans who aided the nazis in the Holocaust, are aiding reactionaries to genocide Gaza and deport undesirables out of the US. The only difference is they aren't getting compensation for their complicity the way the Germans did. They're doing this for free.

Yes. And I don't get why. There must be something they get out of doing this. Some psychological or emotional benefit, at least. But I don't know what it could be. Maybe it just let's them keep believing in the lie that everything will be fine, they'll be safe from fascism if they abet fascism.

I've just been assuming it's 8 years, 20 years, 60 years of sunk costs
