Heeding the words of tyrants

Hitlers words are rarely discussed, even though his actions took our worlds away.
Can the con  happen again today , especially if we don't really listen to what men say? . Like home maybe we only think we know what was said in 1930's in Germany and why it worked CATASTROPHE .
What was it that meant only God botherers like Bonhoeffer saw through the words ? That some never see through the PC of the occasion and get in more than a war of words . look up the bard 


How deep runs the disease with words ? 

Do we even NOW realize that its when a large number of people think they are doing the right thing when infact they haven't thought it through .  Orwell said that we act on feelings and are not rational-- the big risk is that we will be conned by mere words - our own words?  , The greatest evil is always done in the name of the best intention; really nice sounding words / solutions .

Like that other great tyrant Richard III there is a hidden consensus that is subtle, sly but very bloody .

Towards consensus ?
What Adolph and Richard shared was a contempt for the superficial and especially the sentimental . It didn't take much to use that hypocrisy once it was exposed  . 

Why worry / is war imminent or just predictable /likely ? in this unweeded garden 
Would wars be stopped by dealing with hypocrisy and guilt --openly by repenting and facing the truth about our sins. ( even when they sound nice )
 What would happen if , rather than hiding behind the post christian cancer of letting everyone do what they like and claiming disadvantage and nature as the causes of our corruption of the truth;
What would happen if we took  a choice  to change , confessed that we are on the wrong track .and started weeding again  If it doesn't work for the good weed the path.
