It always seems as though the crazier the view, the more attached they are to it, sadly.

But have we not seen the same result on many MA threads right here?.... The legitimate masters, the qualified teachers are almost starving while the fake Ninja Academy or phony Tai Chi cults are packing them in.
Solzhenitsyn once said hastiness and superficiality were the psychic diseases of the twentieth century... it seems no cure has been found.
Nazism has always thrived by selling very appealing lies and playing to peoples' basest urges......why have to debate and reason things out, when it is so simple to just blame the Jews.....the only reason you are down and out is because of a conspiracy.....go ahead and scream for blood, let the demons rule..... and so on.
But that is also the reason for you to go on.... Many of these who are taken in today by the extremists, as in the parable of the prodigal son, will eventually come to their senses and need a place to come home to.

Well, you've seen my signature line....
Actually, National Socialism has long packaged their brand of lunacy quite seductively, and matched that with vicious treatment of questioners and dissenters.
When I served in Germany in the 1980's there were still those who longed for Hitler back.....
Perhaps it is better is keep the memories alive, keep what remains of the camps open, as reminders to what the rest of the world turned away from. To keep making movies like " The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas" to keep printing books of art work done by the children in the camps, to honor those who gave their lives trying to help.
