Just today, someone shared a post at FB by something called White Rose Resistance. It seems to be an anti-Trump, anti-big-business organization of some kind. I think the 'borrowing' of the White Rose name by people who are taking no risks and probably overlap only slightly, if at all, with the view of the Scholls and the others is, frankly, just obscene.
I agree ... the attempt by so many people nowadays to act as if they face the same type of risks and struggles that people in Nazi Germany faced or as if they take the same sort of risks Sophie Scholl did is lunatic. Compared to what some people have endured, we have barely lived through anything.
“Man is not fully conditioned and determined, but rather determines himself whether he gives in to conditions or stands up to them. In other words, man is ultimately self-determining. Man does not simply exist but always decides what his existence will be, what he will become in the next moment.” Amen.
