That’s what a lot of Germans did back then: ignoring what’s going on.

In the defence of some of us, like myself for instance, I live in a country where we can do literally jack shit to affect American political bullcrap, because it's nowhere near America. I'm pretty sure Europeans are excused from having to stay up to date every moment, unless we can force the rest of the world to be continuously in the loop about... idk, whatever crap Geert Wilders is up to right now...

Well, then we at least know to fuck off at the right time. Well, I'll be the first minority in camps anyway.

prevention is better than cure, because if you have to cure it you already have the disease. the future isn't set in stone (theoretically).
