Good Interview. On the subject of “grooming” to make masses of obedient faithful who might be capable of finding it normal to execute ones neighbours. I just read “Geschichte eines Deutschen” by Sebastian Haffner about the period he experienced as a child and later young law-student in Germany post WW1. I could only stand to read it in small doses. He has a very disturbing and enlightening description of the training camps the NSDAP set up in late 1933 to give a sort of military training to men taking their law exams, which
they were forced to do in order to pass. It is powerful on how they turned a bunch of individuals into a unquestioning collective (mob?) which could be led in almost any direction.
