    Complying meant that you wouldn’t be put into prison or outright into a concentration camp as well.

      Hm but that’s an interesting point. In Nazi Germany people’s excuse was that they didn’t know and if they knew they were against it but because of the Nazi dictatorship they didn’t say anything.

      In 2025 Germany the cost of opposing Staatsräson is infinitely lower, it’s possible to speak out and it’s possible to protest even though German police is notorious for beating and locking up anti-Genocide protestors. Yet, the German media and politicians in 2025 are still ironclad in their support. If really the majority of Germans are against this and they are against colonialism, apartheid and genocide, then where are they?

      They all know and they don’t have to fear for their lives, yet they are mostly apathetic. Following Occam’s razor the simplest explanation is that they honestly just don’t care.

        Luckily not all. Die Linke is against delivering weapons to israel and demand the extradition of Netanyahu. But they are sadly still only a minority in parliament.

      This is the whole point of resistance. Standing up to wrong is resistance, even if it needs sacrifice

        tell me, would you sacrifice you yourself and your family for a stranger/'s family you were indoctrinated that they were the reason for all bad things?

        Would you do it in current times?
