A student said I had invoked "Godwin's Law", implying that by talking about Hitler I had invalidated my argument (the main thrust of which was to discuss current trends in Canada regarding physician-assisted suicide).<br /><br />I would posit that the current generation of Gentiles is distant enough from the horrors of the Second World War that they regard them as mythical. Further, that few survivors of these horrors are still alive to give witness to the events, and so there is a real danger that the lessons are being forgotten. As such, the elder generations are far likelier to be able to push denialism in various forms without a backlash from the younger generation. <br /><br />What to do?

"<br /><br /><br />I think it's best to focus on this line. From my vantage point, the central insight of conservative philosophy is that a lot of the wisdom in traditional communal structures that guides individual choices is not recognized and thus not recreated when new often more impersonal structures take their place. As a result progress in the form of better government institutions etc. often has unintended negative social consequences.<br /><br />Where I see conservative politics to have erred, especially in the States, is that has often made no good faith effort to work with necessary changes to create the subtle mechanisms which may have existed in a smaller/informal community. Often a "principled objection" is made against the creation of services/institutions which every country of a certain size/level of development etc. has found it necessary to implement. This "principled objection" then is used to limit the usefulness of said programs, instead of supplementing it with what would be the appropriate conservative adjustments. In the instance of health care, it is obvious that every country regardless of how free-market oriented, has created mechanisms to make health care affordable etc. Yet in the US we are only just getting to realize this---but I digress.<br /><br />As a result of this kind of dynamic, we see situations where people are forced to choose between working OR receiving a form of government assistance. <br /><br />This approach is extremely punitive and also reinforces the ignorances among more affluent members of society, who come to believe either MORE services are needed OR much LESS. As a result in the States especially, we see a kind of schizophrenic set of policies that force people to use government assistance and then punish them for it. <br /><br />By contrast a country like Germany couples job training WITH assistance. It doesn't create an unnecessary amount of paperwork between multiple agencies etc. for individuals.
