You have to play the good one so that by being your helper I am the good German.
From genocide to genocide, silence protects a blind spot.
Silenced is the mentioning of blind spots passed on from generation to generation.
Silence can function to protect blind spots about guilt or atonement or suppressed bias.
A bias we don't know we have can take the form of ‘I never forgive you for what I did to you’.
A bias can stem from the ambition to be the good one: ‘You must be good so that by being your helper I am the good one’.
In Germany, this silence may now have led to genocidal support for Israel.
Bias explains our blindness when leaders in Israel openly admit genocidal intentions.
We are silent on Genocide when fear defines us where we are not a collective that allows saying what we all see.
The cracks show where protest breaks out of the neurotic order of silence & fear.
