We’re seeing in the US that majority of the people are being apathetic or ignorant to what is going on as it doesn’t directly affect them, and others are pointing out that we’re on the same route as Germany. Once Hitler seized power and then later when the county split, what was life like for those people that didn’t say or do anything? Assuming they weren’t in a targeted class, did they just go on and live their lives normally? I know there was a drop in the quality of living for them, but did they not know any better? Was it a state of constant fear, or was there “no war in Ba Sing Se”

I’m just curious what majority of the population here would potentially experience.

    The government was elected by the people.

    You are German or you are at least able to speak it well. You know what is going on. You know how it is consistent. You know how much the country has shifted back to the right/far-right. You know how supposedly progressive parties are complicit in this.

      I am not German, but I speak the language. Yes, I am aware of the political situation. But I don’t think that dividing and alienating each other in generalisations is not something that is helpful for a democratic discurs.
