Did Thomas Mann support genocide against his own countrymen?

[/At the height of their insane power, the German people cannot be brought to reason with words. Only a tremendous force and the commitment of all war material can bring the wild steer to its senses.

Mann isn’t a great example for this. Friedrich kellner is better imo.

There is no punishment that would be hard enough to be applied to these Nazi beasts. Of course, in the case of retribution the innocent will have to suffer along with them. Ninety-nine percent of the German people, directly or indirectly, carry the guilt for the present situation. Therefore we can only say this: Those who travel together, hang together.

He was actually living in Germany and documented all the rumors and events he witnessed. Its pretty clear he actively did wish for the bombing of Germany.

It's not a huge deal but you randomly mentioned Vosem past mutings in this thread. Did you have a brain fart and intended to say that elsewhere?

Forgot about the Vosem mention. Im pretty sure OP's thread was referencing Vosem's quotes earlier so not sure how its off topic. Im fine with it being edited if its too close to breaking forum rules about quoting moderatable posts.
