People should study this guy’s observations of his own country in the 1930s and 1940s. How an otherwise educated, cultured, and civilized country could devolve to the point of committing the brutal atrocities they did. And it wasn’t Hitler, Goering or any of the elites committing those crimes against humanity. It was the baker, the tailor the store owner down the street.

He called it collective stupidity, but had nothing to do with education or IQ. It was the choice to give up one’s fundamental ability to think for one’s self.

You can read about the guy who watched his country collapse in front of his eyes or not, stupid fuck. It’s your choice. Just like you cultists surrendering your ability to think for yourselves.

His very point was about people like you. Looking the other way while an otherwise civilized society degraded. Step by step. Little by little.

Bonhoeffer was executed by the Nazis in 1943, idiot. He didn’t seek my advice. He merely identifies people like you.

Your title as the Stupidest Motherfucker on the Forum is well deserved.

Dietrich Bonhoffer was a Lutheran pastor whose religious convictions compelled him to believe humans have innate value which no politician can forsake and abuse.

Rather than complain about Domer, you could reflect on the fact a great Protestant theologian was one of the few public voices standing against an authoritarian leader.

Is Hitler the one and only kind of authoritarianism to be concerned about? That seems like a very limited and naive view of authoritarians.

I didn't suggest that but which authoritarian did Bonhoeffer speak out against? And it's quite clear that you leftists most often equate trump with hitler, so save us this contemplative bullshit.

Trump is merely an "authoritarian" simply because he does things you don't like. Well waaaa fucking waaaa. Instead of whining about trumps supposed "authoritarianism" you dimwitted squirrels should be trying to figure out why you lost but you people either can't or won't engage in any type of self examination whatsoever. Here's a serous question for you, how much shit are people supposed to take from you assholes before they say enough is enough? You people have backed off your failed rhetoric for 10 years now.

Bonhoffer is a metaphor for having the courage to stand up to authoritarians, bullies, dictators.

When Trump announced he wanted to be a dictator, when he bypasses established constitutional principles, when he arrests political opponents on trumped up charges, you and the Republican leadership stayed as docile and quiet as church mice. That's exactly the lack of courage many Germans showed in the face of creeping authoritarianism.

Trump is unprecedented. Even the courts are saying that, they are continuously ruling against his unconstitutional acts.

Your are free to remain as quiet and docile as a church mouse in the face of an unprecedented shift towards authoritarian presidential power.

Nothing screams collective stupidity louder than a shrill Democratic Party desperately flailing and looking for relevance by convincing the halfwits in their constituency that we are marching towards a Hitlerian Dictatorship. :palm:

The real question, cunt, is how much damage to the Constitution and this country does it take before you decide to divorce yourself from the Trump cult? For you, asswipe, I see there’s no return.

Bonhoeffer observed the fascists and was a victim of them, but his observations about collective stupidity apply across the board to any authoritarian regime.

It is now no longer about politics, halfwit. Or about winning or losing. It’s about core values. Personal and societal. Just like the populace in fascist Germany, you Trump cultists have surrendered whatever values you might have ever had to the cult leader. With that, your ability to think for yourselves, as well.
