NEED ASP PLEASE !!!



The author is describing the slow March towards nazism in Germany during he 1930s, which ultimately led to the holocaust. Based on the excerpt what do you feel is the best defense against the rise of fascism?



~Except ~


what happened here was the gradual habituation of the people little by little to being governed by surprise to receiving decisions deliberated in secret to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand or so dangerous they even if the people could not understand it it could not be released because of national security and their sense of identification with Hitler their was trust in him made it easier to widen his Gap and reassure those who would otherwise have worried about it the separation of government from people this widening of the Gap to play so gradually and so insensibly each step disguised perhaps not even intentionally as a temporary emergency measure of associated with true patriotic allegiance or with real social purpose and all the crises and reforms real reforms to so occupied the people that they did not see the slow-motion underneath of the whole process of government growing remoter and remoter.
those I said are the words of my friend the baker one had no time to think there was so much going on to live in this process is absolutely not to be able to notice it please try to believe me unless one has a much greater degree of political awareness accuracy than most of us had ever had occasion to develop each step was so small so inconsequential sowell explained or on occasion regretted that unless one were detached from the whole process from the beginning less one understood what the whole thing was in particular what all this little measures that no patriotic German could resent but someday lead to one no more saw it developing from day-to-day that a farmer in his field sees the corn growing one day it is over his head from they thought they were free by Milton mayor

Never underestimate the power of the stupid man speaking the crowds.

No matter how many people or individuals are smart, they follow the law of the crowd in the crowd. The law of the crowd nullifies everything, meaning, sense, purpose, leads to the abyss. What is patriotism if it excludes the power of judgment if it overwhelms our mind with something that we are not?

Whether it is fascism, democracy or communism, the fascinated leaders who are pushing us towards each other, because of some higher goal, are a complex lunatic. It has been scientifically proven that all the leaders of this type, in essence, had some bizarre reasons that go into the collective and personally unconscious, as such manipulated by interest groups, and gained great power to manipulate the masses.  Every time we hear such a speech where we begin to feel hypnotized, it is not good, it needs to shake it from itself and from the head.

The best way to defend from growing fascism is to preserve individuality, self-awareness, human values, and at no cost accept any of these ideas of false patriotism and various other explanations that we are not able to understand something. Whenever we hear such a thing, we should put beyond this our universal meaning of life that we received at our birth. That sense will tell us what is true and what lies.
