I did not know that?
I think you miss her intuition which was right. If it were not for what Germans were sold, by one nut, they would not have done that to her.
Humans don't get born with labels, they are born babies, it isn't until adults sell them something that humans get divided.
We are good a heart, but our species far too much is focused on what we are sold and not enough about our evolution. You are not born with the thought of killing someone for being different. It is only until the adults or society sell them that that humans get divided.
It is OK to hate ideas, and fascism. It is not ok to forget that those who didn't have the benefit of being born with pluralism to treat them as sub human.
No matter how much a human may hate another human, we are still human.

Yes we are. The difference is between micro and macro. Our behavior locally shows we have compassion. We always have. Evolution unfortunately does not care which wins. But humans are not different in that we flock to what works for us LOCALLY and cooperation and empathy is our species majority. Where we fuck up is the dark side.
It really isn't different than climate change denial. You have some who like warm weather and others who like cold weather but neither see that their likes are local.
Collectively we are good as a species locally. Globally we cant see our dark side. Our good side is the majority. Unfortunately our blinders override that more often than not.
Good is in all of us, our tribalism is an unfortunate product of reality because we are not individually as humans big enough to see how we affect others.
Good is a majority. But the point of view of "the other" is a majority as well because our views are local.
Unfortunately good and bad work in evolution. The good part of our species is that we do overcome those things. The conflict is not between labels, the conflict is our species lack of macro vs micro. We are not different.
