Have you ever wondered why Germans didn’t do anything about Hitler? Well, the rest of the world is wondering exactly that about Americans and Trump.

@Strandjunker even worse than hitler were the types like today's musks, bezos, zucks, etc making his fascist rise so profitable to a select handful of people. Without the capitalist funding, none of this would be possible.

Capitalist funding billionaire funding is what made this happen.
This is a combination of a half century of effort by right wing Libertarians, intent on seizing the means of government.
But we’re facing now is quite likely going to be factual war between the old guard, billionaire wealth, and the much more venal and virulent versions of themselves grabbing all the power.

The BBC extra provided the most concise description of the Nazis as a coalition of negatives.
The coalition we have today is substantially formed from two major factions of immense wealth. One is old money, the ones that have been working for a half century to take over the government and then there’s the new generation, the boys that were indoctrinated with all the bullshit the old guys came up with

@Strandjunker a year ago I unearthed a promotional film for the KDF-Wagen (not the post-war Käfer / Beetle). What struck me was how normal Germany looked in early 1940s, there weren't even the Nazi-banners everywhere you see in war documentaries (those only appeared in the streets later).
Other than being in black and white, the film looked just like a modern German car video on YouTube with the same scenes of driving through the mountains and an urban area..

As long as consequences are only for the 99%, the 1% will never care about the preservation of the planet & democracy.
They ignore aphorisms like "Don't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs." To their peril.
Aristocracies never cared about famines either, as long as "only" the peasants were starving to death in a famine.
Until it was white kids dying in a pointless war in Vietnam, only then did the privileged care about how Nixon prolonged the war for partisan gain.

@Strandjunker : yes, the rest of the world is WTFing about Americans and Trump. Indeed, president Musk and VP Trump (+backup Vance) pose a clear and present danger to the world.
But many in the rest of the world are also WTFing about Israeli's and Netantahu (+ Smotrich, Ben Gvir and others).
And about Russians and Putin.
And about the Norks and Kim Yong Un.
And about the Dutch and Geert Wilders (and some other populists) - after ditching Mark Rutte.
And about the Hungarians and Victor Orban.
And about the Chinese people and Xi Jinping.
And about the citizens of Afghanistan, Iran, Venezuela, Sudan, ...
And about cocaine users indirectly funding extremely violent criminals.
And about huge corporations filling shareholder wallets by draining those of the poor.

Individuals no longer matter (unless very rich). t's all about money (= power), information (= power) and power.

@ErikvanStraten @Strandjunker Maybe many people are just disappointed by liberal democracy, as practically all „moderate“ politicians are neoliberal at the core, so that their politics only serve the top 1%. Trump and his likes at least pretend to be populist (of course, they do not work „for the people“), while centrist parties only offer minimal change. Despair about the „establishment“ got so big that they fall for their respective „Fuehrer“ just to „feel“ great.

@Strandjunker There is a difference. The NSDAP never received more than 44% of the vote in free elections and the Germans had no historical experience with fascists.
There is also no danger of the fascist AFD winning a majority in the next election. But together with the conservatives ... their 'firewall' is made of tinder ...

@Strandjunker The claim, that Germans didn't resist Hitler & his Nazis is an ahistorical fairytale, born out of ignorance & simplicity of comfortable prejudices.
None of it is true.
Thousands of German resisters were arrested, incarcerated, tortured & murdered by the Nazis.
Among them people like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Martin Niemöller, Sophie School & many more.
All while draft dodger Fred Trump Sr. of German descent parked his butt in Queens, NYC, getting rich on building houses paid by the government, while German Bund Nazis were marching in the streets of NYC with their American Nazi sympathisers, and holding a huge Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden.
