is that opposite of violent philosophy where you are beaten while doing your philosophy ;)
I don't know their were people who passively resisted him, not openly of course but privately. But I think openly passive resistance didn't occur on the level. But I think MAYBE if it was done soon enough around 1936ish it could have worked to stop him. Hell even upto 1939 it could have, he was still very unsure in some ways and after doing immense research on the man the government and the geopolitical situation. It probably could have but once he got fueled by his insanity and his beliefs and irrational fears (not that he wasn't previous but after the 1939 campaign) he was unstoppable, the Gestapo had driven such fear into the hearts of people that if they all said they would passively resist he would have had them all murdered. Even before 1939 he didn't give a damn about life, he had his own SA leaders murdered because he feared they ere getting too powerful. He handled the army with skill and wit unmatched and even the army officers who passively resisted were removed and replaced. Forced to resign, etc etc. Bill Wheatley Senior Database Developer Macromedia Certified Advanced Coldfusion Developer EDIETS.COM 954.360.9022 X159 ICQ 417645 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simon Horwith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 12:49 PM Subject: RE: Super Duper Controversial post....heheh > I majored in non-violent philosophy in college.
