Heidegger-Pynchon connectio

[RICHARD ROMEO]

Mr. Severs-

Haven't done much reading of Heidegger (my feeling on philosophy in 
general is patently absurd) but when Heidegger says "the worst of this is 
that I start beleiving that I'm going to live forever rather than facing 
up to my own death...", "no one can distance themselves from they", "they 
tell me to forget individuality", etc.-all this from a man who became a 
fascist and supporter of Hitler.  I guess my question is, if H created 
"they", why did he become them or like them or support them? Was his 
version of they not as sinister as maybe pynchon's borrowings (did he 
change his mind?)? I'm fuzzy on most philosophy so if I'm being naive, 
please enlighten.
