@bastianallgeier The idea that strength power money and influence over other people were desirable goals is certainly despicable but it isn't definitive of Nazis. If that was your grandfather's only crime then he might as well have been a banker. But that's all we learn of his deeds. It's what your detachment was about. And where your anti-fascist feelings stem from — muddling them with a common personal conflict. You grew up and he wanted you to stay a kid. And that's why Nazis are bad?
@bastianallgeier I'm sure writing a personal piece like this was difficult. I don't doubt your feelings or the fact that your grandfather was a Nazi. And I'm sure a lot of people can relate to this personal conflict and the feelings it evokes. But that doesn't make it emblematic of the problem with Nazis. I would have liked to hear the arguments you exchanged with him. What inhumane opinions did he hold? How did you counter them? Instead I got monster allegories and bubble explanations.
