And guess what … most of the people who ‘did what they could’ just kept driving their cars. ‘What choice did we have?’ None.

          Using it to describe the vernacular is different than employing the tactic.

          Mussolini, Hitler, and Stalin are all dead.

          Seems it’s a safe thing to describe it.

            Why is it a safe way to describe it? Just because you deem yourself on the “right side” doesn’t make the mentality any less dangerous.
