The key portion of this phrase is "a little."
I reject the notion that evil is a scalar, with Nazi Germany as a permanent and unbeatable record-holder, and that the only measure of a society's evil is the rate at which it fills up mass graves.
Godwin's Law, I piss on thee. The popular preoccupation with the most picturesque Nazi atrocity has prevented any lessons from being learned from their lesser crimes. Crimes which continue to be committed, by people who do not speak German. Crimes which are unforgivable though they may fall short of murder.
- hvs 17y agoCrimes like employing you? Crimes like creating the greatest prosperity in the history of the world? Just because you don't like your job doesn't make it a "dictatorship". Living in the U.S. and complaining about "dictatorship" is ridiculous if you actually look at what it is like to live in a real dictatorship. And it minimizes what the people that actually live under it have to deal with.
