Sure, sometimes the monsters are completely competent and responsible in their killing and
atrocities. Like
Pol Pot in
Cambodia, where he went out of his way to stop the
general populace from being in a position to do anything to him. Everyone with a mark of education killed, and by the time the North Vietnamese made up for whatever sins they may have committed by freeing the entire population of
cambodia from the intense,
living hell that was the regime of the
Khmir Rouge, there were exactly 4
people with any legal education left alive, and few people of education and intellegence left.
But other times, you can find more blame in the
general populace than in the
monster. For instance,
Hitler.
Hitler killed millions of jews in his
concentration camps, and i'm not saying hes not to blame for this. But the people who gave
Hitler the power to do such things must be held equally accountable.
Germans were in a
Depression and they blamed the
jews for the
treaty of Versailles which plunged them into an
economic darkness. They wanted the
jews dead and they put the man in power who could do it. Everyone in Germany knew that the
Jews were being enslaved and killed. And
no one in germany cared. The soldiers went about their executions with merriment as if they were at
summer camp, no one did anything. Sure,
Hitler was the guy who got the job done, but he was a
psychopath, The
General Populace of
Germany wanted the job done.
Hitler will be forgiven because of his
insanity before the
general populace of that
Germany will ever be forgiven for its
coldness towards its fellow
humanity.
If you let the
Tyranny of the Majority control your actions then you are responsible for what that Majority causes. Don't let the
Tyranny of the Majority convince you that you're wrong just because they are a
Majority and you're not.
