Hardly extortion. The article clearly states that German chieftains of industry placed their bets on the Nazis as they promised hard action against unions. They were still reeling from the Workers Republic’s intent expressed in 1918 to expropriate banks, mines, and large industry. Context matters.

For decades I have wondered how German citizens in the early 1930s could allow Hitler and his henchmen to take over and completely turn their country into an evil, terrifying empire. In the last 7 months, having lived through this daily, incremental slide to dictatorship, I now understand.

It’s not sudden—it’s step by step, outrage by outrage, until evil feels normal. And the only antidote is courage—millions choosing every day not to let tyranny become the new normal. My best example is Ukraine: a nation fighting a tyrannical evil man and refusing to bow
