    I mean that’s kinda the point the guy you originally replied to was making. From the limited info I’ve seen about this guy I know nothing about him, which isn’t enough for me to dismiss him as a shitty person with just “Nazi bad”. Certainly a good starting point tho lol

      Schindler was extraordinary. Extraordinary means out of the ordinary. Meaning a notion of an ordinary exists. The ordinary is nazi bad. A good position to adopt as a default.

      It’s exactly the point I was making but people here are so quick to make a judgement on little or no information.

      Oskar Schindler was a Nazi. Pope Benedict was a Nazi. Neither are considered bad people but let’s just assume everyone else is?
