subtoot, "you"
What you say: "Well, during the nazi occupation, people were forced into cooperating with the nazis, so you can't really hold those people responsible, because you don't really have a choice when they're at your door."
What I hear: You cannot be trusted with my (and our) safety under adverse conditions.

Well yes, please don't expect me to save you if I'm in my PJs and the Nazis are at my door demanding compliance. It's your job to make sure that doesn't happen, and then my job to save you. Similiarly it's my job to make sure that doesn't happen to you, and then your job to save me.
The success of tyranny depends on its victims not having the power to resist. Including its privileged victims.
