Intelligent comparison of the situations - Nazi Germany & now. It is a slow insidious creep forward, not an instant bomb dropped. I have been saying this to people since the beginning, & I have been castigated & lost friends/clients/acquaintances because of it.

This was a very good piece Meredith. I always like how you explain things so that even the dimmest could see the correlations. I’ve also always been a big believer in personal responsibility. My grandmother and mother were in WWII in Stuttgart, Germany. I remember the stories and when I lived in Germany (I did a chef’s apprenticeship) I could feel the remnants of the war especially in the younger generations ie: they wore it like guilt almost and were always trying to prove how they abhorred it, etc….and now look at where Germany is! I would have thought they would be screaming the loudest. I’m so devastated (as we all are) at the state of humanity right now but even more worried about the children and their future…my God what we done?
