"Don't keep forever on the public road, going only where others have gone. Leave the beaten track occasionally and drive into the woods. You will be certain to find something you have never seen before. . .
Subvert the dominant paradigm!
Nazism gave us some dreadful, fundamental things to think about. . . and kept us too busy with continuous changes and "crises" and so fascinated. . . by the machinations of the "national enemies," without and within, that we had no time to think about these dreaful things that were growing, little by little, all around is. . . Each step was so small, so inconsequetial, so well explained or, on occasion, "regretted," that. . . unless one understood what the whole thing was in principle, what all these "little measures". . . must someday lead to, one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing. . . Each act. . . is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next. You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join you in resisting somehow. You don't want to act, or even talk, alone; you dont want to "go out of your way to make trouble." . . .And it is not just fear. . . that restrains you; it is also genuine uncertainty. . . And you are an alarmist. You are saying that this must lead to this, and you can't prove it. . . But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join you, never comes. That's the difficulty. . . The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. . . You have accepted things you would not have accepted five years ago, a year ago, things your father. . . could never have imagined."
-Milton Mayer, from the book: They Thought They Were Free: the Germans, 1933-45
