but what were they supposed to do?

People, myself included, will often talk about the Germans in Germany pre-Hitler and say “they didn’t do anything” or “they let it happen” which, just last night, made me ask… “What were they supposed to do?”

I think I’m realizing how Hitler rose to power more than ever - given the events in the US these days - but I’m also realizing there isn’t really much the average citizen can do. Is there?

It’s dire but, of course, there are the little things we can do - that Germans also did - and those may be all that matter.

Thousands of Germans were not on board with Hitler, including most pilots in the Air Force. But, what did you want them to do?

What do we want Russians today to do?

At the end of the day, there aren’t that many options that are realistic when fighting insane power hungry leaders who own the system. Maybe I’m wrong. I’d love to be.
