The inconsistency which we have just analyzed is dramatic, for it reveals that in certain quarters people have not perceived the profound malice of Nazism. That is why the door is wide open to ultra-Nazism. By that we mean a Nazism brought to its supreme stage, made global and inscribed into practices, laws, institutions and even ethics.
a) It is well known that men have a great facility for giving apparently coherent "justifications" that inspire their conduct, all the while hesitating to look squarely in the face of the deep motivations that animate them. This type of behavior is well known among psychologists who speak about "rationalizing" conduct. More or less voluntarily, men can hide from themselves or from others the true motives that prompt their behavior.
b) This is what happens sometimes among certain propagators of chemical abortion. As circumstances allow, they do not insist too much on the essentially abortive power of their preparations. On the other hand, they emphasize the effectiveness -- real or supposed -- in cases of breast cancer, endometrial cancer, brain cancer, Alzheimer's disease, depression, etc.
c) One observes: this "rationalization" recalls the damnatio memoriae, the condemnation of memory. Here, one hides an embarrassing past; there one hides bothersome actual motives. These two processes are often intertwined in order to reinforce the cover-up effect.
