I think one has to be just a tad braindead to still be falling for the LEFT V RIGHT narrative.
Hitler WAS what Hitler was.
It takes the mind of a child to think that calling him a leftist or a rightest makes any difference to today's leftists or rightests.
They are what THEY ARE, not what HITLER WAS.
Well I cannot speak to his motives specifically, but I can say that generally partisans who imagine themselves rightests do not want to be associated with Hitler, and likewise, partisans who imagine themselves lefts feel the same.
No I don't think...at least not in they way you've expressed it above.
Leftist don't want to admit that Hitler was one of theirs because that casts a damning shadow on everything they believe.
Hitlerian Germany was not one of anybody's.
Even Franco and Mussolini tried to distance themselves from his type of FASCISM.
What Hitler's government was was a highly authoritarian government which continued to respect the concept of capaitalism EXCEPT if the people with capital happened to be Jews or his personal enemies.
Basically he and his crew were thugs with power.
Good objective points, but the seeds of Hitlerism can easily get started in any cultural movement that wants to cherry pick what they see as worthy to them in order to use such points from that period to empower them as they would think that it could.
We see these wants and desires in groups or people more and more, but what America must do, is it must preserve the American culture always, but the only way to do this is to define the American culture again, and then be proud of it, to unify in it and protect it, but there are forces within that seek to tear down the culture, and to distort the American culture in an attempt to temporarily disassociate themselves from it and the world from it as if it is no more, and they are doing this as so to redefine it, change it, recreate it, and all in order to make it more useful to their groups or groups ideals and cultures in which they see as better for them once achieve this task. Corporations are another force against the social fabric of a nations unified culture, as it seeks to rape and pillage the cultures economies or financial security, therefore sometimes leaving them in a wasteland and highly dependent afterwards. We can see this on a state by state basis in this nation now, and it has been devastating to much of the American economy, because we trusted the corporate models and ideals all wrapped in gold far to much. Some have been good, but many where bad for us as it turned out, or rather they had turned bad for us over time in which was not good in the end.
The anti-American groups don't make up the numbers in which would counter the numbers of those who see it way differently than they do, yet they are attempting this tear down anyways. It's as plain as the nose on our faces anymore.
So far because of the peaceful nature of those who are Christian, and are still a silent majority in this nation, and for whom have made up this silent majority in this nation over the many long years we have existed as such, we see that these groups now see this as a weakness or infiltration point to exploit in our kindness they take as a weakness, and as we see they have been successful at their infiltration into what was once seen as a unified American culture, but now is falling apart rapidly for many. Why is this we should all wonder with prayer anymore, because somehow we have lost our way, and those who seek to separate and destroy are winning the day now against us.
We have had in this culture many make up's or attributes including being Christian in a majority as one of those makes ups. This is seen in evidence of the hundreds of thousands of churches we see now strewn across the landscape of America, thus dating back hundreds of years now, and in which I feel held the culture together over those years in many ways, as well as through many events and even wars. The Christianity part of it all (imho) therefore allowed us to work through some difficult issues and trying times over the years, yet I feel now that as God is pushed back by these groups or due to the radicalization of some groups still claiming to represent Christianity (yet in a false prophet kind of way), we are all under full attack now in this nation and in the world, and it is coming in from far to many sides, thus now it's all begging to make us eventually fall from within as a result of it all.
