For a lifetime I have borne witness to the endless rantings of certain categories of people about "NAZIs".  The saws are old and hopelessly clapped-out, yet such people never cease to hold up NAZIs as the ultimate evil, so far further down the pit of Hell that no other form of tyranny can compare.

Well, I have a surprise for such people.

The NAZIs were no worse than any of the other grand tyrants of history, They were certainly better than the Soviets and the Chinese, though the differences are ultimately irrelevant when one considers the tens of millions of people each had murdered in the span of a paltry few decades. 

At the end of the day, all tyrants are sufficiently equal in their rot and filth to warrant humanity scouring them from the earth. Sadly, those who cleanse in such ways invariably become the very tyrants whom they displaced, usually with copious amounts of hot lead and, later, the stretching of the right necks. 

The bottom line is this: mean humanity is beastly in its corruption. Our tolerance of the grand evils and stupidities that yield fruits of marginal and temporary convenience to us, have kept the human race flailing and foundering in the deep end of the septic tank basically since the walls of Sumer were erected,,  It is in the deep end where we shall stay because in all truth, we have no interest in becoming any better than that which we have always been: beasts of the lowest order imaginable. 

Were it otherwise, the world would be a very different place.

Saddest of all, we could change this in no time at all, were we to come to sense in the numbers required.  Alas, the Tyrant knows so well that the statistics stand overwhelmingly against this ever happening, and were it to occur, the chances of the good lasting more than a brief period are vanishingly small.  It has yet to have happened in our entire written history, so my sadly offered recommendation is that you not hold your breath.

May we find a better way, and as always, please accept my best wishes.
