You sure are coming off as very judgmental.
No one knows what this guy did during WWII but you're all so quick to assume because he was SS he most certainly did something bad. That's lazy thinking and if you had any shame, you'd be embarrassed by your words
Like Oskar Schindler, he too was a Nazi but he saved lots of Jews and Jews love him for it. I've not heard 1 Jew call Oskar a Nazi but this entire thread is acting like just being SS means you're the worst person in the world, without any merit.
We sure live in a fucked up place where merit doesn't matter and the opinion of people who admittedly know nothing and are just assuming from nothing.
I also didn't say Hitler Youth and the SS were comparable. You clearly don't know how to read if someone is making a comparison or not so you come off as uneducated and ignorant.
For someone who told me I don't know much, it's clear as day that you don't know much.
Because I am being judgemental. That wasn't supposed to be subtext. I'm literally telling you're being ignorant, but now you're signalling that you're not being ignorant, you're being an apologist for the most Nazified troops.
This reads like you're either completely and utterly ignorant of who the SS were, or you're a Nazi apologist. It's telling you think there's more shame to be had about assuming an SS member acted like an SS member than you are that you're trying to suggest it's possible that there were good SS members.
You already tried to argue about people having to go along with the flow of an authoritarian country, and now you're reversed course to try to justify "Not all Nazis" while using one of the biggest examples of a secret anti-Nazi. Nazis don't save Jewish people en masse and sabotage Nazi arms, and it's fucking insane that you're suggesting that. If any argument here deserves shame, it's this one.
Explain how this doesn't apply to you.
Then why did you make the direct comparison in your rhetoric? You literally said it reminded you. Do you actually have that little clue about what you were saying?
This statement would mean a hell of a lot more if your contention with my statements wasn't just doubling down on your already ignorant statements, accidentally revealing you didn't even know how you were speaking, and making some absolutely inane new comments that show even less of an understanding than before.
You saying I know less is probably a good thing because your idea of how all this played out is pure fiction and fantasy.
