Trivialization of Evil as a Way to its Acceptance
It was a Main Nazi Propaganda Technique - but is Used Again Nowadays
Human beings are not evil by nature. In fact, they have an instinctive perception of evil and monstrosity, and a natural resistance to it. Thus, when we as humans are seeing evil (from murder to bullying) in front of our eyes, we by instinct understand that something wrong is happening, and we are appalled, shocked, disgusted, outraged by it. Our first impulse is to stop it or to flee from it at least. This is again a universal impulse, it's in human nature.
Now, if some nefarious players (like Nazi) want people to embrace evil and to accept it as a normal part of their lives, how would they approach it? How would they overcome human natural resistance to evil? By changing our instinctive perceptions of evil, or, to be more precise, by dulling it. Thus, we feel evil as something especially outrageous and appalling when it's not a regular part of our lives. What if Nazi would make evil regular part of our lives, or daily routine, however? Then, we would get USED TO EVIL HAPPENING IN FRONT OF OUR EYES. It would not shock and appall us that much any longer. We would still perhaps realize that it's wrong and it shouldn't be happening, but it wouldn't bother us as much as at first time though to really resist it. We'd get used to it, after all. Our perception of evil would be dulled. Instead of something outrageous and monstrous, we would see evil as a normal part of our daily routines. This is the most sinister Nazi technique which they applied during Holocaust and I believe apply now with 'vaccine passports' as well. The Nazi purpose is to trivialize evil so we would not perceive it as evil any longer.
This technique unfortunately works because it's also based on human nature. Humans can instinctively recognize and resist evil true, but they can also get used to it, as they can get used to pretty much everything. This is the toxic power of habit. Indeed, a child observing domestic violence in his family on daily basis would not perceive domestic violence as evil but as a normal part of life. People who grew up in society where animal cruelty is a daily routine, would not perceive animal cruelty as evil as well. People living in society which kills gay people would not see the evil of homophobia (hello Muslims). People raised in some mafia districts where street gang crime and shootings are daily routine would be neither appalled by nor scared of shootings and crime but perceive it as a normal part of life. This is again the toxic power of habit. And Nazi politicians had learned how to harness this power to their dirty ends.
This is what Nazi had done in Germany back during Holocaust. They had TRIVIALIZED Holocaust in order for people to accept it. Throwing Jews into gas ovens became a part of daily routine for many Nazi soldiers, just like slaughtering of cattle is a daily routine for farm workers. So, Nazi officers perceived burning of Jews just as their job, their regular routine. They didn't see it for terrible evil monstrosity it really was because it was trivialized for them, made into a daily task. They GOT USED TO IT. This is what the most terrible about it. The trivialization of evil so people stop seeing it as evil anymore.
I argue that the same trivialization of evil is happening now with regard to vaccine passports. That's why many neo Nazi governments now turn 'checking of vaccine passports' into a daily routine for millions of bars, restaurants, night clubs, museum and cinema workers - so they would get used to it, and would see it just as their daily task, and not as brutal and unfair discrimination it really is. Thus, I think many people still do realize that vaccine passports are in fact discrimination, and that to demand a private medical information from people in order to enter almost any public place is actually morally wrong. But the more they 'checked the vaccine passports' from people, the less strong this feeling of wrongness is becoming. Instead, it becomes a daily routine. The evil trivializes, just like during Holocaust.
Some people would object that burning Jews in gas ovens is incompatible with turning unvaxxed from bars and restaurants. Well, first of all, I wasn't talking of the SAME SCALE of evil, I was saying about the SAME TECHNIQUE of trivialization of evil used both in case of Holocaust and vaccine passports. Second, trivialization of evil of vaccine passports in bars and restaurants can actually lead to its trivialization at much larger scale as well, like refusing essential medical care to unvaxxed or evicting them from homes. This is what trivialization of evil does - once we accept discrimination as normal part of our lives, as our daily routine, even at SMALLEST LEVELS, we are ready to accept more and more of this discrimination, on grander and grander scale. And refusing the life-saving medical care to the unvaccinated is already entirely compatible with throwing Jews into gas ovens - its physical extermination of a certain population group in both cases. And this is already happening in US. So, the new Holocaust of the unvaxxed is already happening in our world, and I think this has a lot to do with trivialization of evil of vaccine passports.
It all started with refusing unvaxxed an entrance to bars, restaurants
and music gigs. After all, it was not that bad for these unvaxxed, fascism compliers consoled their guilty conscience with, if they're denied an entrance to the bar/restaurant/music gig, because they still can cook/drink/listen to music at home. Not a big deal. So they used to discrimination of people and their unfair segregation and isolation. The pseudomoral aspect - that unvaxxed had brought it upon themselves by their allegedly wrong medical choice - had also contributed to the acceptance of this discrimination. After all, it's always easier to discriminate against alleged 'bad guys'. Only, are unvaxxed really bad guys? To take or not to take a vaccine is a basic human right of anyone of us, and no one should be judged for it. Not that vax passports stopped the spread of the virus as well. Also I'd like to remind you that Nazi had also presented Jews as 'bad guys', 'stealing honest Germans' money'. After all, it's easier to throw 'bad guys' into gas ovens, eh?
Nazi proved their toxic propaganda by the fact that many Jews worked in banks actually, same as Pharma Nazi prove their equally toxic accusations by the fact that unvaxxed fall sick more often (though to fall sick more often doesn't mean to spread disease more often, there are a lot of vaccinated asymptomatic spreaders). So, again, the same technique.
So, first people had accepted the discrimination of unvaxxed on milder scale - e.g., banning them from bars/restaurants/night clubs/music gigs. It seemed to be not that a 'big deal' after all. Later, however, the evil progressed. Unvaxxed were banned also from cinemas, museums and libraries, which was already somewhat bigger deal, but since evil was already trivialized and discrimination - accepted, people swallowed this shit as well. Later, governments began to ban unvaxxed from 'non essential' shops (including clothing ones!), gyms and somewhere even from public transport. That was already much worse discrimination but people were swallowing it as well. Again, evil was trivialized. If it was OK not to let unvaxxed into a bar, why not into a bus? And they 'had brought it upon themselves', after all, why pity them?
Then, the evil progressed even further, in certain countries. Germany introduced lockdown for unvaxxed. Austria introduced COMPULSORY VACCINATION, doing away with our control over our bodies and basically criminalizing unvaccinated (yeah, they can go in prison in Austria from 1st February if they couldn't afford to pay sky high fines). That's already perfectly compatible with Holocaust. Australia evicts unvaxxed from their homes. Some US hospitals went further even than Austria and Australia by refusing the essential life-saving medical care to the unvaxxed. THIS IS A LITERAL HOLOCAUST OF THE UNVAXXED ALREADY. Note that unvaxxed were refused medical care not due to COVID (which even if it would have also been utterly wrong Pharma Nazi could have tried to justify by twisted logic that if unvaxxed weren't scared of COVID and refused COVID vaccine, it's kinda fair they would not be treated against COVID as well), but heart implants for example. There is no any justification for it. It's GENOCIDE, cold-blooded murder. And American people are accepting it as a daily routine. That's just horrible. History repeats itself, and fascism is again here.
My main point is that trivialization of evil does this shit. The day people in the West accepted Nazi vaccine passports as part of their daily routine, they accepted unfair and immoral discrimination of their fellows as 'normal part of their lives' as well. So, in the future they would accept imprisonment and even physical extermination of their unvaccinated fellows as well, as Austrian, German, Australian and some American hospitals' examples show to us. And that would mean restoration of Nazi days in the world, quite literally. That should never happen. We should never lose our humanity so completely again as it was back then. Hence, don't allow fascist government to trivialize the evil of vaccine passports. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT VACCINE PASSPORTS ARE UNFAIR, IMMORAL AND FASCIST DISCRIMINATION OF YOUR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS. NOTHING JUSTIFIES IT. PERIOD.
