Reply to comment by WesternIron in The Effect of Philosophical Libertarianism on Popular Media as Portrayed by Comic Book Villains by baileyjn8

The logic here is flawed. Nazis are NOT relatable because killing jews doesn't make the world "better".

Explain how Nazism and master race ideology makes the world a better place.

I'm glad we agree that the logic of the nazi's was flawed.

I was making an analogy and representing what Nazi's thought, I was not advocating for it. Reading comprehension is important you know?

Please read: Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil by Hannah Arendt. Then you will understand what I am trying to do. Maybe.

It was Nazi ideology that exterminating what they saw as dangerous and disgusting people would be improving the world. It was very well propagandized into popular thought, and antisemitic views were held by many worldwide at the time. The Nuremberg Trials are very eye opening because you see that most everyone tried was normal, sane, and reasonable, but many had committed atrocities beyond our imagination. The ideology is obviously flawed from our modern standpoint, but it serves as a warning that regular and otherwise moral people can be susceptible to dangerous views.
