Nina spitting truths as always. She’s on fire recently, so follow her if you’re not doing so already.
To be clear; everyone working in my government, particularly after today, is a Nazi, or someone who works for Nazis. Do you know what we call people who worked for the Nazis, in the Nazi government? Yes, that is correct, Nazis.
So Machado is certainly not gonna feel lonely on the list of people on my TV who are definitely Nazis.
Oh, was that too harsh? Are you feeling bad for the good career civil servants, working for the literal fucking Nazis, who I have just impuned? Cool, let’s refer back to that part where I said I was surrounded by people who openly recognize that this is fascism, and ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY refuse to accept what that actually means.
We call people, who worked for the Nazi Party, in the Nazi government, Nazis. Nobody says “the Nazi government and the career civil servants who hated them but stayed.”
“They’ll just find someone else.”
Then let them. “I took the job at the concentration camp because I was sure Hitler would find someone else” was not a good defense in court last time, and it won’t be this time either.
Uh… just so we’re clear, Schindler in the movie and novel is a work of fiction, written in the 1980s by an Australian novelist.
The ‘historical’ Schindler was most definitely an enthusiastic Nazi… Being a member of the separatist precursor to the Nazi party from afar (while he lived in Czechoslovakia), and then a member of the Nazi party when he moved to Germany after helping the Nazis invade and occupy Czechoslovakia. He worked as an intelligence agent for the Nazi party before and during the war, and there is no doubt that the work he did caused many thousands of deaths. He was then a war profiteer, using cheap Warsaw ghetto laborers in his freshly-purchased factories, which were confiscated from Jews… He had absolutely no goals beyond self-service and Nazi ideals before finally growing a conscience circa 1942 once he realized the extreme brutality that was going on, and worked to protect (and add to) his cheap laborers.
In short, he’s a complicated person… most definitely a Nazi leading into and during most of the war, and probably a pretty terrible example.
