Liberals, like Germans under Nazism, “don’t know anything about it”

Today’s liberals are like citizens of a totalitarian dictatorship that is doing terrible things which “they don’t know about.”

Many years ago, about the time of the end of the Soviet Union, I saw a TV news item about an “insane asylum” for dissidents. Some people who lived near the place said on camera “I don’t know anything.” Yes, Soviet citizens were like the Germans under Hitler in this respect.

We now see liberals ignoring or minimizing the flash mobs and racial murders, either claiming to know nothing about them, or saying that they’re an insignificant phenomenon which racist conservatives are selectively emphasizing, are downplaying them with euphemisms like “a random assault.”
