Once they gained power yes, the Nazis were the powerful
destroying the weak. But how did they get it and how did the
Jews, who of course had some power, lose it?
When the power struggle commenced the Jews had some power.
One of the reasons
they were a target is the fact that they had some power.
The Jewish businesses were blamed, the Jewish leaders were
blamed, they were targeted and subjected to the blame game.
The objective was to win a power struggle first and then get
rid of the defeated enemies. How did the Nazis go about the
blame game? Didn't they use the media? Didn't they use
propaganda? Didn't they use history to associate the Jews
with horrors from the past that were supposed to be
connected, to be causes of problems in the present? Didn't
they use the latest arts and sciences, the latest
technologies?
The blame game is a power struggle between those that have
power. The weak are down hill, where everything flows after
the blame players toss their shit around. The weak are not
in the game. They don't have power.
No one cares about the powerless, the poor, the weak, the
population that can't
buy what the power struggle is selling. But Shit roles down
hill. Eventually all that shit blows. But the powerful know
how to exploit this blowing. There is always a spark and
there are always simple stories to sell.
So, for example, the media sells with color TV in Black and
White.
Black man beaten by white police. White man hit in head with
brick by black man. Call it the Rodney King Riots and you
can convince the public that the uprising that followed the
King verdict was not about civil rights.
But it was about civil rights. It was about what TRP had
written about in his
essay. It was about all that shit, all that blame that
rolled down.
