Years 2020 and 2021 are rich for topic about propaganda. I never understood why there was something like holocaust in history. After covid, I understand how fear, media and oppression shape behavior.
What bothers me more is question, if we can ever learn from history.
I think human nature has a floor and ceiling. Capacity for good and bad that everyone shares. And I think people underestimate (or overestimate?) the floor of human nature. They think its higher than it is. And that everyone shares it.
Thats not to say human nature is bad. Its a spectrum.
