Man, if our media were magically transported to 1943 we'd be treated to wall to wall coverage about how the Nazi collaborators Freddie and Truus Oversteegen had grieving families and "were human beings too."
I ain't here for it, and if you come to my replies with that kinda nonsense, expect hostility. We don't have to talk, we can both assume the other person is a monster and go on with our lives.

@AnarchoNinaWrites yeah it's important to understand that literal genocidal Nazis who were pulling the trigger on children in ghettos and torturing and whatnot were generally perfectly normal human beings in society among theirs. They weren't moustache-twirling villains lashing out all the time like in comic books. They would be kind to dogs or children or tip well at the bar or take care of their ailing fucking grandmother or whatever.
That a fascist has capacity for empathy and generosity and selectively suppresses it does not make them better human beings. It makes it worse.
I know you're right because there's literal fucking Nazis close to where I live who have attacked me, attacked multiple homeless people, beaten up journalists, harassed Pride kids etc. etc., who constantly pose online with custom Nazi knives and new guns and murderer friends etc. And right now there's a fluff piece on the local newspaper about how the infamous Nazis from the neighbourhood actually get along just fine with their neighbours, they are polite and courteous to the immigrants running bakery shops or kiosks where they shop, they are upstanding members of the community etc., why they don't even hang swastikas or anything just a German flag. Same news piece says the only ones disturbing the peace during the Nazi rally were the antifa at the counterdemo.

I can literally close my eyes and read the headlines/talking points now:
"Superpredators: Baby-faced assassin girls used seduction to lure government officials to their deaths."
"No Angels: Killer Sisters had prior arrests for defacing public property."
"I know Nazi Occupation is bad, but these murders are an alarming sign of the coarsening of our society."
"These criminals in the so-called Dutch Resistance don't represent me."
"An eye for an eye? Inside the world of violent kid assassins"

You made me smile. Having grown up with the myth of the Dutch Resistance. And the realization that most people joined the resistance after the war...
These talking points are spot on.
