    Hehe, sure that should do it. As an immediate first step we definitely should ground quite some people and take their phones away so they can’t be on Telegram all day.

    To be fair, I think a lot of the early denazification was important as symbolism. But it was never going to properly solve the underlying issue. And in the 50s they wanted to be done with it and move on, so they didn’t really do anything useful and that took until a new generation. So I think the proper process that got us somewhere happened during the entire later 20th century. And apart from school education, a lot was done within society, not necessarily just top-down by politics or the government.

    Unfortunately populism works quite well. And a lot of people really like to be sheep and be miserable and be told whom to hate.
