    on Monday, Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, claimed that the court “threatens every aspect of our political and legal system”

    The logical conclusion is that Marco Rubio believes every aspect of the US political and legal system has essential personnel that are involved in genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes or the crime of aggression, which are the crimes the ICC pursues. He is well positioned to know such things. It would be well to heed his advice.

        Nationalism and racism are powerful influences that obviously swayed many, but I believe, like now, there were also some who understood how evil the regime was. But living in a totalitarian police state is dangerous and many are inhibited from doing what they should, which is really the point of a totalitarian police state: to ensure people do what they’re told rather than what they should.

        If you spoke out against the Nazis, you would have ended up in a concentration camp and people knew that. So few actually did something. However you have some interesting statistics, like for example that there was a massive drop of children being named “Adolf” in Germany in 1942.
