Re: Lebensborn

Then why singling them out? If all are the same, all are the same.

Excuse me, but I wasn't the one making the argument that racial purists were pro-pedophile. I didn't single them out--you did.

I am not against you, nor do I doubt of your sincerity. I just think history is much more nuanced than anyone (of any group) believes, and that sincerity and good intentions are not the only thing that matters in building a society or a government.

I've never denied that history is complex and groups like the Nazis probably had some value to them. But when you get down to it, what they stood for was evil and what they did was an atrocity rarely equaled in the history of the world, certainly of the modern age. Only the Stalin regime was responsible for more killing than the Nazis in the 20th century. I can't believe that anyone, leastwise a person belonging to the most persecuted group of the 21st century, cannot understand why I am appalled by this idea that Nazis might've been our friends.

Even if they had been pro-pedophilia in any sense of that word, I could never ally myself with them, and I would as soon shove a white hot poker up my ass as ally myself with hard-core racists. It's called empathy, q. I know what it's like to be persecuted directly because of my identity and nothing more. Hence, I am disturbed by this current strain of 'maybe the Nazis weren't so bad' nonsense coming from people like you. They murdered millions of people, including thousands and thousands of little girls, the people I most adore. That is unforgivable--or should be--to anyone here. Many more children nearly starved to death or were otherwise treated horribly by the Nazis. Sorry, but I have trouble sympathizing with your point-of-view. It absolutely offensive to my sensibilities.
