@mrvn000 I made this point to someone who thought black people should be paid reparations in America. I see arguments for both sides, but my Ukranian white ancestors faced similar hardships to slavery and had nothing to do with America of a different time.

@SteveninTune , I didn't make my point. In "Man's Search for Meaning," Frankl writes of the Nazi prison camp where he met Jews as vicious to their fellow Jews as the cruellest prison guard and a camp doctor who secretly spent his own money on medicines that he smuggled in to ease the suffering of the prisoners. I have met people from many different cultures and found myself responding to their humanity and them to mine. It seems ludicrous to me to think of soldiers on one side being "bad" and the other "good." You don't have to agree with me. Also, it's "mumbo jumbo."

@SteveninTune @SteveninTune? Mumbo jumbo is meaningless and pretends to make sense. On the other hand, in Swahili, mambo-jambo inspires great awe.

@catalinbarbuceanu9047 Same here. But when I heard what the author did to get the stories from the prisoners he interviewed and keep their stories alive, it made me want to dig it out and try again. It is though to read.

@KevinDoyle-r1w That sounds character-building.

@SteveninTune , History isn't the morality play some people make of it. Any random group of a hundred people will include many kinds.

@adamwatson6916 Is our government as totalitarian? Is it an illusion that we could?

@Jean-rg4sp I have a hard time believing I wouldn't refuse. It's hard to imagine having things like that on my conscience or wanting to do them in the first place. It makes me wonder if any people I know would do these things. The desk killers were ordinary people.

@Jean-rg4sp I recommend the book "The Desk Killers."

@Jean-rg4sp I agree.

@Peglegkickboxer @Peglegkickboxer That's sort of like the climate of Britain; on drugs or just not very rugged.

@LlamaLlamaMamaJamaac Why not?

@adventureaviator9702 There is always the future.

@adventureaviator9702 But doesn't it at least keep fluctuating between better and worse? Also, this reminds me of what we achieved in the work programs of the New Deal, but I wonder how stark the difference in the standard of living of most people in each time and place is. Recovering from the depression, it might not have been. What made them decide to be so brutal?

@SteveninTune Exactly. Except it's "mumbo jumbo." I need facts to work with.

@jimjambananaslam3596 Not if they do it by teaching history and philosophy. We don't want them to be zombies. Soylent green is people.

@LakeNatronHotSprings Everyone who thinks of it should teach that to anyone who will listen. Some won't, but many will.

I haven't seen anything like it, @r1m.dog78. This is missing from many students' standard educations in the West—or maybe in other places, too.

We all have that in us. What would have happened or not to me for me to do some of these things, though, @Jean-rg4sp?

@dr.mohammadshafi1195 They are right there in the crowd of humans if we listen to them and think for ourselves.

@Jean-rg4sp Wrong. You may wish that all people cared about developing a moral compass. They don't.
