And if we don’t do it, we are no better than nazis.

Whole lots of them were indicted and charged for the simple crimes not of their own but others. Applying the same standards to ourselves will result in similar indictments and justice.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they have blackmail on nearly all of the prominent politicians, prosecutors, and judges in the system. And what's worse, I bet you if any serious candidate runs on intelligence agency reform, they might suddenly have some really juicy dirt about them leaked online. Especially candidates from the younger generation. You could probably crucify someone in the public square with all the weird stuff in our browser histories.

Of course they have blackmail on all of them. Look at how poorly run the Epstein operation was. We saw how all of the senators sat silent, aware of what was going on, and did nothing.

But the real conspiracies you should care about are the ones that are obvious and boring. It's fun to think of crazy blackmail rings, which likely exist, but the others are more important. Like the government and politicians don't care at all about your health, they only care about maintaining power. The healthcare corporations don't care at all about your health, they only care about profit. Like the tax laws are purposefully so confusing so you have to pay money to TurboTax or someone else.

Or "create" some dirt

>we are no better than nazis

One thing you need to recognize is there is no difference between you and the Nazis. If you were put back in Germany during that time you would have become a Nazi. You are not special. You are human. Go read the book "ordinary men." And read it from the perspective of the perpetrator, not the victim. You must be aware of your capability to horrific acts and work to make sure it doesn't happen.

I mean look at last year and tell me Americans wouldn't follow a charismatic leader to genocide

Shark jumped! Scale matters, nuance matters. The scope of the two comparisons make them unequal.
