How My View of the Holocaust Was Altered During COVID
But, in some ways, I was more confused. Who could have done such a thing? These were normal people. Were their parents and grandparents so much worse?
At the same time, I was doing better in Hollywood (before I came out as conservative and killed it all). Almost by accident, I wrote two feature films with Holocaust themes (was it really an accident?), one of them, “Enemies, A Love Story,” based on the Isaac Singer novel—a critical success, nominated for Academy Awards. Ironically, it was set among Holocaust survivors in New York in 1949, almost the same time I, as a little boy, saw the numbers on Mrs. Mindus’s arm.
Naturally, I had done considerable reading for those screenplays and met with a number of survivors, yet still, I had trouble understanding how modern nations filled with a civilized, often highly educated, populace could turn so extraordinarily barbarous.
I understood in books and movies, but not in a real way, not in life. I assumed you had to have been there at the time to do that.
Now, I have.
I’m speaking, of course, of what we have experienced in our lives during the pandemic, if that’s what it was. More accurately, I would call it, in the words of this media company, the time of the CCP virus.
What we have witnessed throughout the world is millions, really billions, of people taking orders without thinking or, in the majority of cases, even seriously investigating what they have been told.
In a personal survey of those who have most willingly and unquestionably accepted the vaccines (if that’s what they are), worn masks, and lived obediently under lockdowns as if that were the only way to survive, I have met absolutely none who have read the works of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Alex Berenson, or Dr. Scott Atlas or heard the lectures or seen the readily available videos by the likes of Drs. Robert Malone, Peter McCullough, Harvey Risch, or Vladimir Zelenko, not to mention many others, including the august group that signed the Great Barrington Statement. Many don’t even know what it is or even that it exists. They certainly haven’t read the statement, although it’s only a few pages.
That’s right, none. Zero. Even though, in the case of the books, the works of the first three authors are bestsellers. And, yes, they may have seen them bashed on CNN or some other “reliable scientific source.” But that’s about it. Read for themselves? Why do that when they are told it’s nonsense? Sound familiar, “meine Damen und Herren?”
...
A generation of conformists has been created as never in our history. This is more like Nazi Germany, or, for that matter, communist China, than we would like to admit.
I’m not implying these mass conformists would accept concentration camps, not at this point anyway, but they did allow their children to be vaccinated with a compound whose eventual results are barely, if at all, understood, and to send those same children to school with masks on (if they go at all), unable even to see each other’s faces, to read each other’s expressions, to see each other smile.
This has been a form of national child abuse beyond conception, our own progeny headed to the most uncertain of futures with their normal developmental processes distorted beyond recognition.
So, to answer my own question, I no longer have “trouble understanding how modern nations filled with a civilized, often highly educated, populace could turn so extraordinarily barbarous.”
