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.
By your definition Schindler was a nazi, but by working for them he was able to save many lives… so I’m happy with anyone who continues to work with the goal of slowing down their progress.
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.

Do you think he was the only one?
Schindler was not working for the government. Not directly, anyway.
Edit: my bad, he did work in the intelligence office before WW2 though.
He was literally a Nazi intelligence officer, wtf are you on about.

You’re right, I missed that part. Even though he was mainly an entrepeneur during the war, he did shortly work for government before it.
Wasn’t he manufacturing arms for them? Of course, in a way to help go against the grain the most while doing it.
Also interesting to note:
He was member of the NSDAP and a spy for the Wehrmacht. So he literally was a Nazi. Only when he directly witnessed their mass murder he changed his opinion.
Glad he ended up working on the right side, either way. It goes to show that there are people on the inside that eventually choose to do right for the right reason, and not just to try and save themselves at the last minute.
And shows that there are (probably a lot of) opportunistic people that just follow the majority or what benefits them, but doesn’t mean there is no red line for them.
So someone who helps nazis, but isn’t working for government is fine in your eyes?
It seems like a strange nitpick otherwise.
Funny kind of reasoning you got going there. Your leading question implies some black or white world view. Let me give you a nuanced answer: it really depends on what a person does as a whole to determine if that person is fine when helping nazis. Regardless if working for government or not.
Nobody working to slow the administration from the inside is splitting hairs about who is a Nazi. Take my word for it. Treat them all like Nazis.
Easy to say to people need to feed their family, put a roof over their head, support their community!
Would you be willing to lose your house, and see your children starve for your high morals?
I am said people. Like I said, those doing the work from the inside will not blame you for mistaking them for Nazis. False positives will not harm the movement.
