I’m dumbstruck as to what to do. The US is building literal concentration camps, and none of my co-workers care at all.

In fairness, I work in healthcare with an almost exclusively cishet white population who are financially well off.

Many of them espouse to be Christians, and no one cares at all that the American government is following the exact playbook from Nazi Germany.

What do you do? How do you make people care before it’s too late?

    My (great)-grandparents were part of the Dutch resistance during WW2. Along with a full 1.5% of the population.

    Most people will not do anything, even if they are literally rounding up people for a genocide.

    On the more positive side, a lot of people will support the resistance in small ways.

    The number of people who actually, whole heartedly collaborated with the Nazi’s was quite small.

    Even some of the German soldiers stationed in their village would turn a blind eye. Some of them realized they were on the wrong side and they just did the bare minimum of what they needed to do to not get in trouble and not get killed.
