The language certain politicians are using is plucked directly from the mouths of Goebbels’ and Himmler’s rotting corpses. How can they not see what lies ahead if they continue with this shit?

What's even more infuriating is that when you try to point this out to others, they act like you're insane/exaggerating.

...because most don't study the rise and causes of what happened. They only study the result. "Never again" refers to the holocaust, but nobody puts that sign on the the road that led to it.

  • Wealth disparity and inflation
  • Fear of "others" taking what little people have
  • Traumatized populations from decades of war

With populations scared and desperate, they'll latch on to any demigogue that appears.
