Inbred subconscious indoctrination? When you have a dictatorship on the back of a global market crash these things are bound to happen. There was violent suppression of the people, lack of freedom of speech, distinct lack of political opposition, deep hatred of communism or anything like it, control of christian worship, which led to cult leadership of AH, a secret police (Gestapo), nationalistic fervour which was whipped up to frenzy level, meaning that anyne who didn`t fit in within German race/cultural/religious ideology was to be be controlled or destroyed.

Inbred sunconcious indoctrination, ***? You may well be right. By inbred subconscious indoctrination I mean the suggestion of anything implanted at a very early age by an elder ( usually a parent and usually regarding religion ) of an illogical belief as fact. Akin to that of the tooth fairy and santa. There are many instances; such as intolerance or bias towards or of anothers religion, colour, race or gender. These things are taught, or as we say around here..inbred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably not the trigger point where it all kicks off though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to bring this back to the top but this came up a few minutes ago, and I think she has it right (It`s only 9 minutes long and the best is in the last third but do listen to it all) Hannah Arendt on why people collaborate with evil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
