“We are horrified to see how the legacy of #DietrichBonhoeffer is increasingly being distorted and misused by right-wing extremists, xenophobes and religious agitators… Never would he have seen himself associated with far-right, violent movements such as Christian nationalists and others who are trying to appropriate him today.”
— Bonhoeffer family statement

The text is a quote by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, which reads: "Christianity stands or falls with its revolutionary protest against violence, arbitrariness and pride of power and with its plea for the weak. Christians are doing too little to make these points clear rather than too much. Christendom adjusts itself far too easily to the worship of power. Christians should give more offense, shock the world far more, than they are doing now. Christian should take a stronger stand in favor of the weak rather than considering first the possible right of the strong."

Today, we remembers the death of the German Protestant theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was executed on this day in 1945 for his active opposition to Nazism. May his courage and his memory never be forgotten. #dietrichbonhoeffer #fascism #nazism #Trump #MAGA #Germany #theology #USA #stupidity #cheapgrace #religion #christianity #christian #ChristianNationalism #philosophy #sociology #psychology #resist #TrumpLies #trumptariffs #decline #usa #jesus

When #DietrichBonhoeffer, a German Pastor, Theorized How #Stupidity Enabled the Rise of the #Nazis (1942)

in History, Politics | March 26th, 2025

"Two days after Adolf #Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, the Lutheran pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer took to the airwaves. Before his radio broadcast was cut off, he warned his countrymen that their führer could well be a verführer, or misleader. Bonhoeffer’s anti-Nazism lasted until the end of his life in 1945, when he was executed by the regime for association with the 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler. Even while imprisoned, he kept thinking about the origins of the political mania that had overtaken Germany. The force of central importance to Hitler’s rise was not evil, he concluded, but stupidity.

"'Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice,' Bonhoeffer wrote in a letter to his co-conspirators on the tenth anniversary of Hitler’s accession to the chancellorship. 'One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against stupidity we are defenseless.' When provoked, 'the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self-satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack.'

"Fighting stupidity, to Bonhoeffer’s mind, first necessitates understanding it. 'In essence not an intellectual defect but a human one,' stupidity can descend upon practically anyone: 'under certain circumstances, people are made stupid or that they allow this to happen to them.' And it happens most noticeably when a particular figure or movement seizes the attention of the public. 'Every strong upsurge of power in the public sphere, be it of a political or of a religious nature, infects a large part of humankind with stupidity,' he writes. Since such phenomena could hardly arise without blindly obedient masses, it seems that 'the power of the one needs the stupidity of the other.'

"You can see Bonhoeffer’s theory of stupidity explained in the illustrated Sprouts video above, and you can learn more about the man himself from the documentary Bonhoeffer. Or, better yet, read his collection, Letters and Papers from Prison. Though rooted in his time, culture, and religion, his thought remains relevant wherever humans follow the crowd. 'The fact that the stupid person is often stubborn must not blind us to the fact that he is not independent,' he writes, which held as true in the public squares of wartime Europe as it does on the social-media platforms of today. 'In conversation with him, one virtually feels that one is dealing not at all with a person, but with slogans, catchwords and the like, that have taken possession of him.' Whatever would surprise Bonhoeffer about our time, he would know exactly what we mean when we call stupid people 'tools.'"

There are many heroes from WWII, and whenever I come across a name I’ve never heard of, I always like to publicise it.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer - A pastor and devoted Lutheran Christian who opposed the Nazi regime and simply wanted peace. Unfortunately, this kind and heroic man paid the ultimate price for his beliefs…

@tprophet I've seen more than a few #DietrichBonhoeffer quotes and blog posts floating around these days, and I think they perfectly encapsulate the US' descent into authoritarian madness.

It's become obvious that we are living through an age of great stupidity; the same social disorder that befell 1930s Germany has taken deep root in the US, Russia and China.

You can not rely on the US any more... not as a partner in trade, mutual defense or the rule of law.

@godpod And after NOT buying a Tesla each day, you can also print and put a few "You're better than Tesla!" leaflets on Teslas to ask the owners to sell!

PS God, when you see him again for coffee please extend my thanks to Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the namesake of my website, for his fierce resistance against the Nazi regime. He gave us all an example of how we should live.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was born on 4 February 1906 in Breslau, then Germany (now Poland). He was a German Lutheran pastor, theologian and anti-Nazi dissident. Bonhoeffer was accused of being associated with the 20 July plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler and was tried along with other accused plotters. He was hanged on 9 April 1945 as the Nazi regime was collapsing.

@wdlindsy I’ve always found #DietrichBonhoeffer’s piece “On Stupidity” (one of his uncensored letters smuggled out of prison & posthumously published in 1951) thought-provoking & astute, tho highly discomforting.
For anyone unfamiliar, Bonhoeffer was a Lutheran minister imprisoned & later murdered by the Nazis for his work w/the 🇩🇪 resistance & helping ✡️ people escape. He was all too familiar with the subject matter & the nightmare results of stupidity combined with &/or exploited by evil.

Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed — in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical — and when facts are irrefutable, they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self-satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack. For that reason, greater caution is called for when dealing with a stupid person than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.” ~Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), “On Stupidity” from the book, “Letters and Papers from Prison” (uncensored letters smuggled out of prison & posthumously published in 1951)

#DietrichBonhoeffer: Lutheran pastor, anti-Nazi resistor. In 1933, he publicly pledged to fight political injustice & questioned Nazi persecution of the ✡️ population. By 1939, forbidden to speak publicly, print or publish, he was a courier for the 🇩🇪 resistance & helped 🇩🇪 Jews escape to🇨🇭. Imprisoned in Berlin’s Tegel Prison from Apr 1943-Oct 1944, then in the Gestapo prison, charged w/conspiring to rescue Jews. Moved to Buchenwald in Feb 1945, then to Flossenbürg, he was hanged on April 9, 1945.
