>>Collectively the world will not put up with the Hitler<< germany sure did. while that isn't the world it is quite a sizeable group of people that supported, en masse, some very evil policies. i'd put a caveat behind what you say as i do partially agree. that caveat is when times are good. in germany, times were not good. people wanted a scapegoat and they wanted to hate it. basic human nature. if the world ever begins to seriously hurt then i think most will be amazed at how extremely evil things are so easily justified by the real or perceived pain of the perpetrator. a person once justified the genocide like this: "would you shoot an intruder in your own home? well, the jews were inside the german home." in good timnes this "logic" is scoffed at. however, when times are bad this type of "thinking" is more easily accepted. people in power know this. and they will use it for their own personal benefit if given the chance.
