In reply to the discussion: I have this nagging feeling the world in general is spiraling out of control [View all]DFW
(54,358 posts)64. Here are a couple of interesting Hitler quotes that could have come from 2016
"Unsere Strategie ist, .....den Feind von innen zu vernichten, ihn durch sich selbst vernichten zu lassen."
"Our strategy is...to destroy the enemy from within, to let him destroy himself."
In 1939, when musing about his plan to conquer France, Hitler described the 2016 election and its aftermath with unerring accuracy.
The original of the quote being discussed in the thread here is this: "«Geistige Verwirrung, widerspruchsvolle Gefühle, Unentschlossenheit, Panik das sind unsere Waffen»"
"Mental confusion, conflicting feelings, indecision, panic--those are our weapons." That could just as easily have come from Bannon or Putin.
