I dunno... I keep coming back to a thing I read recently about how most people back in Nazi Germany didn't want to exterminate all the Jews.
they just didn't care.
Also Hitler only won with 35 percent of the popular vote.
The worst truth is that most of those who did care, even deeply, felt that they could not do anything or say anything because then they and their whole family would become targets. It's rarely as simple as individual selfishness.
