“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore." - AR Moxon

@goesselgold @brucelawson We have English words for that too that carry many of the same connotations: collaborator, quisling, etc.
I can’t believe I am surrounded by quislings.
