64. Not in the least

Thu Oct 23, 2025, 12:08 PM

Although it is interesting to see some who previously advocated no tolerance for Nazis, e.g. see a Nazi, punch a Nazi or a person having dinner with eleven Nazis is a room with twelve Nazis, suddenly have found a previously undiscovered depth of tolerance.

Perhaps this situation is educational. It has previously been questioned how the US (and USSR) justified bring Nazis, mostly scientists, in after the war despite their unsavory history. This illustrates how quickly something abhorrent can be overlooked when there is a perceived benefit.
