We will soon know if American propaganda is different from Germany, 1932
 
Article here: We will soon know if American propaganda is different from Germany, 1932

I consider this to be rock solid analysis from a source I'd not heard of before. However, being a student of the rise of Nazism in Germany, and politically savvy in the 21st century, I see it as laid out pretty well there.

The article speaks to me on a certain level because I'm aware that Nazi's did not come into power by rounding up and killing Jews. That's just how it ended before they were ultimately stopped. No, before that, they made a lot of sense to a lot of people. Not the majority, of course, but they proved they didn't need a majority. And then there is the Reichstag fire, of course.

It is not lost on any student of 20th century history that the Antifa and BLM of today have a lot in common with the Nazi's of EARLY 30's Germany - especially in their methods. And if the democrats win control of the US government, with their placeholder candidate, you can expect a repeat of mid to late 30's germany. Not identical, of course. History repeats, but never identically - but it is the same spirit.

This old "after school special" covers it very nicely. I saw it when it was originally broadcast and it was a real eye opener: The Wave. It's based on a true story.

BTW, it won an emmy. And it IS based on solid history. A great comment by a poster on the video: "High school kids were older back then." :)

Opinions vary. Again, thanks for your input, such that it is.

Watch "The wave" to the end and you will see the early versions of the modern Fascists.

The democracy of the 20th Century with all these incompetent democratic politicians made the success of the Barking Monster possible.

Nothing in history is actually to be compared with what is currently happening in the United States. But there are parallels. Obama was a loser like Hindenburg was.

Both prepared the soil for the following dictators.

Your source appears to be a project by The Washington (Moonie) Times. A rabid far right conspiracy theory ridden joke of a 'news' source.

Fake news in other words. Sorry, Robby. :o

You mentioned the source, but did not touch on the veracity of the information contained therein. That's fine, but it's certainly not an argument.

Perhaps I hold the views I do because I'm not afraid of any source, even CNN. Stories and analysis stand on their own content, not on the company they keep.
