Fritz: *proposes bad idea* Everyone else: *tries to talk him out of it* Fritz: *hears "Just suck up the abuse for the next however many years or decades"* Fritz: *comes up with worse idea and is MORE insistent that everyone go along with it* Everyone else: *panics*
...This was totally my takeaway from the Wilhelmine memoirs.
