      You know, when I was a kid, I used to wonder how Nazi Germany ever became a thing. How could it be that such unjust, illogical violence and hatred could ever manage to become the political norm.

      After a few decades of talking to Americans like you, I now found it very obvious.

      Do you think the Germans said “let’s commit atrocities” or do you think they also had excuses for theirs?

      “The war on terror” isn’t a traditional or indeed even an actual war.

      In 1924, Adolf Hitler wrote that propaganda’s

      “task is not to make an objective study of the truth, in so far as it favors the enemy, and then set it before the masses with academic fairness; its task is to serve our own right, always and unflinchingly.”

      Remind you of anything? Like screams of “America first! AMERICA FIRST”

      If you genuinely don’t see the similarities in 2020 America and 1920 Germany, you’re either ignorant or willfully ignorant.
