Comment on YSK: Denazification in West Germany was lenient and ultimately abandoned, with many Nazis remaining in positions of power.

“I’m fighting the system from the inside” is 100% pure cope, too.

Eh, 100% pure cope is a bit hyperbolic.

There are at least tens of thousands of accounts of Jews who lived, in part, because of the intercession of people who existed within the Nazi infrastructure. We just don’t most of the names because people couldn’t actually use their names when operating within resistance networks, but there are some famous accounts, like Schindler and The Pianist.

It is not always possible for people to work outside of a fascist system, and to pretend that it is is absurdly idealistic.
