I know we all love to criticize older generations, but in the 20th century if someone praised Hitler you could almost guarantee that a WW2 veteran would punch them in the head, and I think there was a great societal benefit to that.
@lowqualityfacts but actually, now that I think about it again: Similarly, there are fewer and fewer Holocaust-Survivors left to speak up, educate and warn us Germans about fascism. The consequences certainly are noticable in german politics.
