Is that such a good example? The German government of the time actually liked and served the interests of most German people. That is the opposite of current evil Western regimes who hate their populations.

I think you proved the point, intentions are irrelevant because none of us knows the future, and the benevolent Cesar of today may not be the same tomorrow.

Then again, the only thing I know for sure is that work makes one free.

In the meantime, USSR had the "internal passport" and there wasn't even a pretext that it was about health.

Well sort of.

Hitler personally had a hated of sick, disabled and mad people so while this might have helped you while you were well-ish if you got serious ill you ran the risk of being euthanised.

Of course many in the party weren't overly keen on this approach as many of them had disabilities themselves.

Even if we assume the euthanasia program isn't a pack of lies (and BTW, modern Western countries have extensive real euthanasia programs) it would have been in the interests of most German people. Liberal marriage laws, a tradition of looking after defectives and WW1 had meant that Germany had a lot of defective people who were a burden on the rest of the population, so the government indulged in good benevolent problem solving. That is radically different from Satanic Western regimes who want to exterminate their founding stock populations. Surely we could get over the "This like nazis therefore bad" silly meme.

They literally had a disabiltiy program, impregnated in Feder's manifesto. They only started to euthanise "mentally insane" people due to caring for them taking away people for the war effort. Not condonign any of it.

The American left has been taking notes from various totalitarian regimes for a long time.

Except they didn't try to mandate vaccines like supremacist Jews are currently doing.

you could say it's similar, regular germans had to carry this pass not jews, it had to do with if you had some disability. Hitler himself had some sort of health issues he was taking medications for, not sure what exactly, people disagree on that, but he himself would have been found unfit and not a true aryan if it was known then.

"people didn't know who was doing things behind the scenes until decades later" really isn't the flex some people seem to think it is

[–]StillLessons 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

The primal fear of illness/death is the greatest tool of tyrants. Without the spiritual strength to recognize that illness and death are inescapable (a healthy medical system knows it is limited to mitigating suffering and tinkering around the edge of disease; it cannot eliminate it), people are vulnerable to the tyrants siren song of "safety!" The only solution is for people to learn that trying to "stop" all illness is a fool's errand, but this is as hard a lesson to learn as it ever was. Thousands of years of "evolution" have not made a dent in the human delusion that we can control illness and death.

Imgur is trash. They censor just as much as reddit.
