#BlackEarth 1/3 "Perhaps we imagine that we would be rescuers in some future catastrophe. Yet if states were destroyed, local institutions corrupted, and economic incentives directed towards murder, most of us would behave extremely badly.
#BlackEarth 2/3 "There is not much reason to think that we are ethically superior to the Europeans of the 1930s and 1940s, or less vulnerable to the kind of ideas that Hitler so successfully promulgated and realized.
#BlackEarth 3/3 If we are serious about emulating rescuers, we should build in advance the structures that make it more likely that we would." ~From "Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning"
