Stochastic terrorism is a real thing though - and hate speech against a minority is one of the possible ways fascism can take root in a society.

Germany learned this the hard way how easy it is to overtake a country that was previously one of the most liberal and modern societies. That's why hate speech against minorities and holocaust denial are forbidden and harshly punished here - and that's probably one of the reasons why other countries in Europe had their far-right surges in recent years quite a bit earlier since russia had to be more creative about dividing the population

DDR 2.0 mit Wagenknecht als oberste Führerin

Die Leute sehnen sich nach Autoritarismus weil man dann wenigstens nicht selbst schuld ist wenn das eigene Leben scheiße lauft und man unbequeme Entscheidungen immer wem anders überlassen kann.

Wagenknecht selbst scheint einfach nur geil nach Macht und Aufmerksamkeit zu sein und dafür jedem Populismus hinterher zu laufen

When you get enraged by social media but don't even know what you are enraged about exactly...

The ones where the people are most afraid of communism and think minimum wage is socialism?

I'm firmly convinced that 90% of the protesters are trolls that'll vote Trump anyway and are just trying to discourage people from voting for Harris that would never vote for Trump the same way the Trump campaign did that against Clinton.

Some people are probably participating in those as useful idiots that are not realizing that their activism will only make matters worse

I think it's very telling how often those protests are accompanied by "not voting for X" - since that's the main agenda - not to help Palestinian people

Netanjahu is openly cheering for trump, knowing that he will have no more breaks on his plan to completely level Gaza and expand on the settler program.

Trump is the one that basically told the Palestinian people that they'll never have Jerusalem as a capital by moving the embassy there

It's so obvious how much this is just a bad-faith attempt to discourage people from voting for the clearly better choice if you care about Palestine...

Netanyahu is actively supporting Trump because he knows he'll enable him to be way more aggressive inside Gaza.

People that still use this are just Trump-Bots that want to seed doubt so less people vote for Harris

No of course not - Trump's a huge buffoon that loves dictators just for the fact that they are dictators. I was just referencing the "Are You Really Going to Elect a Guy Who Has Good Things to Say About Hitler?"-Part, since that in itself for me is not automatically a negative.

Ignoring that Hitler had positive traits, too, and pretending that people voted for a guy that was evil in all aspects is convenient but very dangerous - especially since it enables people voting for populists like Trump to pretend that he can't be as bad as Hitler (which is probably the case - but if Hitler is painted as this absolute evil it's actually very easy to make this claim without a second though. If you see Hitler as an opportunistic asshole that wasn't inherently evil just for the sake of it then that comparison is a lot closer.

Demonizing Hitler as some kind of comic-book villain is ignoring how complex the situation leading up to him becoming leader of the Third Reich was and how people didn't see him for how bad he was until it was too late.

It was just an example because just last week someone was claiming Germany should stop using the Olympiastadion in Berlin only because it was constructed for propaganda reasons.

The fact that Hitler is responsible for that doesn't necessarily make it bad. A horrible person can also do a few things right. You can acknowledge that without praising the guy.

There are people that get off on other people suffering and that want to create as much suffering as possible.

Those people are evil.

Hitler had an agency that saw people suffering as a means to an ends. That doesn't excuse any of it and taking that route to get to that goal certainly is an evil decision, but that doesn't automatically make the goal a bad one (in this case it was since the Holocaust was pretty much the goal and not just the way there).

Perhaps I'm using the wrong words as it's not my native language but I think there are things he did that aren't automatically bad just because it was Hitler who did them. That's not praising the guy - it just acknowledges that even a broken clock is right twice a day and not always showing the wrong time by default.
