anti-Christian
I didn't know Nazism was anti-christian, interesting
ven though political regimes can be overthrown, and ideologies can becriticized and disowned, behind a regime
I think that is why the United States hasn't had a holocaust. Not that the country isn't capable, just that "regime" change happens every four years with a new president and possibly a new party
I do not think that Nazism, in its original form
The stipulation "in its original form" is very important here. Nazism has now morphed into nationalism across Europe and the United States and is disguising itself as white nationalism or nationalism in general.
f reconciliation means compassion and respect for all those who fought their own war ingood faith, to forgive does not mean to forget.
I think people tend to forget this concept. This reminds me of the idea that those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. We do have to forgive but we should never forget.
Verdrängung
Meaning repression
Glory to those who have fallen for freedom."
I find this interesting because from our perch now, we know these people were not fighting for freedom but were fighting fo fascism. However, they were convinced enough that they were willing to die for perceived freedom.
Should we die for the glory ofMussolini and the immortal destiny of Italy?" My answer was positive. I was a smart boy

I find it interesting that the question has been raised that if we live a life of convenience does it dull our appreciation for life in general
We do not admit it at all; we cannot see why the regulations made by ourselves should not, on the contrary, be a protection and a benefit for every one of us.
Why don't we admit it? Is there something within humankind that prevents us from seeing that what works for one doesn't necessarily work for all?
ecause we have no clear account of the meaning of oppression.
Is there a definitive way to define oppression?
one finds oneself as a member of a group,
How is this happening passively?
