If you ever wondered how Germans became Nazi's [View all]

“The banality of evil.”
That famous concept coined by Hannah Arendt sprung from her studying the Nazis after The Holocaust. It stands for the proposition that everyday people can commit horrific acts. In her own words, the Nazi officer she studied was “neither perverted nor sadistic” but rather “terrifyingly normal.”
How do people or are otherwise “normal” become seduced to commit these crimes against humanity? She found this was due to a mix of factors such as conformity, people being lost and seeking purpose, nationalist fervor, propaganda, and fear.
Some have disagreed with Arendt’s view, but I believe she’s correct. And that is why what we are seeing with MAGA—especially after the murder of Renee Good by an ICE officer--is so deeply alarming.
