novatorine 🏴🏳️⚧️@AnarchoNinaWrites see what they don't get is that decent doesn't equal nice. Actually, in extreme situations, the most decent people will be the least nice, because the situation calls for it. Sometimes the only reaction a decent person can have to something is outrage, and that's part of what makes them decent! And the people who confuse decency for niceness — i.e., those who confuse moral fiber for manners — are, well, the people who either were Nazis, or preferred them, because Nazis can be quite mannered.

@anarchopunk_girl I’m a ringer for my late German-Hungarian grandmother [who I’ve never met] and I would need more than two hands to count the number of people who’ve gone out of their way to tell me she was the nicest woman they’d ever met over the years. None of them would have even considered wondering what she did during the war, never, not in a million years. *Especially* not her two doting sons, who were both *highly* suspicious of their father, *especially* because he was such an asshole.
Finally learned enough German to be the first one in the family to go through their documents a few years ago; turns out the asshole was the honest one and the “nicest woman in the world” had a Persil Certificate, so…
