Interesting. So he didn't like that German regime targeted people like himself, but liked another regime that targeted other people?
You cannot choose whether you are born to a rich family, the same way you cannot choose what kind of world you enter into.
Both systems used death to achieve their similar goals.
I find it quite surprising that such supposedly smart person didn't have enough empathy to see a different way.
Maybe scientists shouldn't get themselves involved in politics or pick sides.
- boomboomsubban 6y agoThe part immediately preceding your quote has Einstein showing disgust for the Bolshevik's bigotry, your criticism is ridiculous.
- varispeed 6y agoThis is an example of some meta bigotry and projection...
- danielheath 6y agoAh yes, the famous bigotry against... people who are happy to throw criticism without making any effort to obtain understanding or context. Truly a marginalized group.
- varispeed 6y agoI suggest you have a read what projection means in psychology and why would he criticise Bolsheviks while supporting Soviet Union. Classic behaviour.
- boomboomsubban 6y ago>why would he criticise Bolsheviks while supporting Soviet Union. I would suggest doubting what Nazi propaganda has to say about Einstein supporting the Soviet Union.
