In this episode we discuss the complicity of populations in the conspicuous evils of their states. As examples we consider Nazi Germany, from which we acquire our title, borrowed as it is from Hannah Arendt's long essay of the same name, and go on to think about the USA, particularly the southern states whilst they were governed by the Jim Crow laws. There are multitudes of other examples we could draw on throughout history (Apartheid South Africa is another we touch upon) and indeed the present day, but the hope is that by looking at a couple of these a little closer we might extract some conclusions that might usefully help us to understand this trend in a much broader sense. As to whether we succeed in that is not up to us to say, but hopefully you gain some insight from the conversation regardless.
