He specifically says “those who torment us for our own good”. The Nazis believed what they were doing was good for their people, but I don’t think they had any illusions that “destroying everyone…in the way” was good for the people being destroyed.
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoRead the rest of the essay, not just the one paragraph. He means "our" in the sense of "us as a group", which may not translate into good for each individual in the group. (He also talks about using the term "liquidating" instead of "killing" as being a bad sign. "Liquidating" people may be good for the group, but it obviously isn't good for the individual.)
