Well it might have helped, no?
Oh no. I'm sorry you're right. Ensuring that Hitler was given multiple platforms to promote his hateful rhetoric and ensuring that his detractors were intimidated and threatened from speaking out against him was absolutely the right thing to do.
Thank goodness all those venues ensured his right to speak freely! Imagine what might have happened if someone had perhaps said no to him? Imagine if his hateful rhetoric had been shouted down? Imagine if people had spoken up freely and said ‘Well hold on a minute Adolf...I think perhaps you may be a bit obsessive on this issue about the Jews, eh? your tone is a bit... well... myopic, one-dimensional, vilifying of a minority group, and uh, frankly wrong.’
Imagine if people around him had maybe spoken up at an early stage..
“Here Ben....Adolf’s getting a bit weird about the Jews...And the Roma, and the homosexuals. He seems to blame them for everything at the moment.
He’s starting up with the hostile nicknames – calling them rats. Wants to get his microphone out and go and have a rant about them. It’s not looking brilliant and with the mood the nation is in at the moment, well... they’re looking for an easy scapegoat and might just buy into his worrying rhetoric..."
..." I think we should maybe have a chat with him and perhaps share our concerns with some others as, if he’s given free rein to shout about this, it could lead to further animosity towards these groups."
Thank goodness none of that happened.
Imagine how much worse it worse have been for the Jewish population, Germany, Europe and the world, had that happened!
O wait.
