I always heard this “nothing to hide, nothing to fear” attitude/saying attributed to goebbels and went to go find the source.

I fell down the research well and found it’s actually from an author I’ve read but evidently not enough of his work: Upton Sinclair.

The source is The Profits of Religion and “Sinclair attacks institutionalized religion as a ‘source of income to parasites, and the natural ally of every form of oppression and exploitation.’”

Seems sadly relevant to today.

Serious question, what would you do if you were in America? Call your buddies and organize a march? Start offing people by yourself? Stand on a street corner with a sign? Donate money to a contradicting politician?

This game plan is enacted by design, it’s what makes fascist regime takeovers work, what makes it difficult to organize and resist. You have a husband, kids, a mortgage, a job, car payments, need to put food on the table.
