Im surprised that you cant notice the similarities.
The lack of noticing the similarities between trump and white liberal tactics is what is most surprising.
Trump is waging war on minorities just like hitler did.
minorities are traditionally the shield of the left and are being used in America by white liberals like the jewish minorities were in Germany while the white socialists/communists pillaged the german economy and then left the jews to feel the brunt of Hitlers wrath
I wiould think that jewish people were as uncomfortable as anyone at seeing the rise of hate in the US.
they have and are rejecting it and standing up to it around the country.
They arent your friends you know.
Who is/are not our friends tommy? who do you mean?
 
Hitler is still a hero to many in the GOP. Miller, Bannon Musk are all actual nazis. they arent hiding it.
White liberals have fought long and hard for "everyone to be heard" tommy.
When they have finished with the gays and trannys and then the muslims they will come for you.
see this is the part I don't think you get, what makes them homophobic, xenophobic, islamaphobic, transphobic, misogynistic, etc. etc. if they are just out to get everybody? in fact if they are coming for everyone then it is the likes of you and yours that are discriminating by not including everyone in your rants and tirades of race baiting.
 
I dont mean the nazis need to be looked at again. I mean the ordinary German. They have often been castigated for knowing enough to put a stop to fascism. They must have known about the concentration camps and did nothing. They kept their heads down and stayed silent.

But is that a fair assessment ?

Maybe we should look at their behaviour again.

We are seeing the rise of fascism in the US. Its happening as we speak. And the american people are complicit in its rise.

Politicians. judges and unions are passive in their opposition as a few oligarchs use their wealth to support their man. Law breaking is now the law.

Vast swathes of the US are being turned into police states as people are being rounded up and sent to a terror camp without trial. Trans people are being cancelled from public life and the constitution is being assaulted every day by a fraudster who is trying to see how far he can get without pushback.

Thiss is how it started in Nazi Germany. Where are the grown ups fighting for the US ?
He has purged his own party and it now consists of weak sycophants. They will not say a peep. Similarly he owns the corrupt judges who waive thru his edicts.

Trump is rebuilding a pre civil rights society without opposition. So should we cut Germany some slack and accept that they were no worse than anyone else ?

The evidence is they were just the same as everyone else.
Europeans need to look at themselves and be honest about the ugliness they see, not try and pretend that America is in the same boat as they are as we have no need to look at germans in any other manner other than in a "business as usual" sense...the worst thing Americans see in germans is their euro. DNA.

In the same like Stalin is with the Left.
 
Yes and it isn't much different in most dictatorships. Complain about the government and it's a bullet to the head. Take North Korea, I can't imagine any private citizen was allowed to own guns unless they were members of the party.

This is the White Rose. A nazi resistence movement

The White Rose was a non-violent, intellectual resistance group in Nazi Germany which was led by five students and one professor at the University of Munich: Willi Graf, Kurt Huber, Christoph Probst, Alexander Schmorell, Hans Scholl and Sophie Scholl. The group conducted an anonymous leaflet and graffiti campaign that called for active opposition to the Nazi regime. Their activities started in Munich on 27 June 1942; they ended with the arrest of the core group by the Gestapo on 18 February 1943. They, as well as other members and supporters of the group who carried on distributing the pamphlets, faced show trials by the Nazi People's Court (Volksgerichtshof); many of them were imprisoned and executed.

Factually the Scholl siblings were rather naive (radical to a certain point) and thus finally overdoing.

An lifelong friend of my aunt went to the same school and class in Ulm with Sophie Scholl and later studied medicine at the same University in Munich. The siblings and their "team" were rather well known for their "convictions" and speeches - however publicly distributing and dropping leaflets in the corridor and the staircase of the university found most other students scratching their heads - and thus an employee at the university reported them to the Gestapo. -- the rest of their fate is well known

I think this is a worthy topic of discussion Tommy but as soon as I looked at the thread I saw several blatant personal attacks - ad hominem - attacking you and your supposed motives and supposed beliefs rather than the arguments you put forward.

I've raised this with moderators to try to more clearly understand the rules of the clean debate zone, because if the rules are not being enforced then there's no point in attempting to discuss this objectively here, its no different to any other thread here where personal attack is the primary modus operandi of many forum members.
