      … you do realize Nazis were humans, right?

      This is literally one of the most important lessons from Nazism. That anyone, any normal human, loving father, mother, son, can become a monster if the circumstances are right.

      God, no wonder fascism is on the rise again if the lessons of it were forgotten.

      They should. And then kill 'em anyway.

      That is the lesson we all needed to learn and ignored. They were humans, they thought they were good and doing right.

      We are all equally vulnerable of falling into human biases and ignorance and doing horrific things if we allow people in power to manipulate our emotions. We need more stories about relatable, understandable humans doing absolutely fucked up shit because they went along with the narratives and then facing consequences for it.
