Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Kim: many "good" folks turned a blind eye

Blinded by the Dark.

in regards to anything "other" or "different",and turn up the "hyper-nationalism" to 11.where the national conversation becomes one of "greatness of the state" and the people willingly subjugate their will to the leaders of said state.

which then uses that power to silence all dissent,all criticism to create an echo chamber of a single message of implied solidarity,a bold vision for the nation state.giving political cover and a moral justification for acts and deeds that are most certainly evil.

You know I love you, Enoch, but I believe hundreds of millions died in the 20th Century because people sacrificed precepts of character "for the greater good" when they turn a blind eye to the rights of a few. They fell victim to the same old, same old entrancing rhetoric that you hear today in Washington about gun laws, socialized medicine and the empty words of "true equality." What I say above is close to universal truth. We are all different, unique beings. Yes! But when we all have the exact same perspective we lose creativity of Free Speech and are subject to our rights being eroded for the alleged greater good of all. —Vince Vance, Supporter if the American Constitution

you just re-iterated much of my point.
we are not in disagreement.
