> Because people who are good and social with the group do not have a contrarian character. To whistleblow against a very powerful organisation... you have to be a pain in the ass.

I am confused - people who are good and social have no principles and value? They have no backbone to stand up for them?

This is like the worst definition of social - like amoral sociopaths desperate to fit in.

If Nazi Germany produced anything of value at all, one can hope it was clear evidence that a large portion of the population does indeed meet that definition. Certainly enough to run a state, prosecute a world war, and run a massive economy rivaling other world powers.
