Why The Adulation Of Hitler?
We can ask, why the current interest in Hitler? Why the positive references on social media, even praise, for the disgusting mass-murderer? I am not sure that we really want an honest answer to this question. It may be too bitter to contemplate.
We have a powerful temptation to identify with the strong, and to despise the weak, the elderly, and the disabled. Perhaps it originates from an animal-like survival instinct. But it is fostered and exploited by would-be totalitarians.
The only antidote is reverence for ALL human life, which we derive from religion. I believe that eventually we will all be judged on how well we resist this temptation.
