The striking comparison is how the most liberal democracy, the weimar republic (just check how it was advanced on LGBT rights, worker rights, women rights) just crumbled.

They could control him they thought and he only had 2 ministers in the government and then..the nazis burned the reischtag, blamed opponents and it all transformed in one single night..

(23,059 posts)This is part of a worldwide plot by PUtin, China, ,SA to take over and to kill liberal laws and societies and turn time back to serfs/barons model - similar to what's in SA, & Russia (China too?) right now where workers have nothing, work for nothing, have no education, get sick and die young and women have no access to birth control so pop out lots of babies and die young.
The movement failed with Hitler because too many fought back. This time they are going for the whole world at once, that's why white nationalism is growing worldwide, it's being pushed to increase the hate and soften the bonds so they can be totally destroyed.
