    It’s like watching a horror movie. You know the killer is in the basement, yet people go and have a look while the audience knows what’s going to happen. A classic fuck around and find out.

        Well it ain’t the token black guy like in the movies. The African Americans largely didn’t vote for Trump.

      My thoughts exactly. Wait though, actually that is the fault of Democrats, somehow. I’ll get back to you on how

      One in five do not think Hitler was all bad. Two in five think he was better than a lady who laughs sometimes.

      They see the evil but think it will be to their advantage because they aren’t like “those people.”

    He wasn’t “all bad”, he apparently was very good with animals, like his dog Blondie. He was a vegetarian. And that’s probably everything which wasn’t bad. For the rest it’s all completely fucked up bad. No doubt about it.

    Oh and I just remembered he was very good at giving directions. “were do I need to go?” “Take the third reich”

      I don’t think he was vegetarian for animals. He did it for his health. Something Stallen should have done.

        I thought I heard it was because of his love for animals. I googled and found This wiki page about it. TL:DR is it’s not completely clear whether it’s because of health reasons or because he’s against animal abuse.

    Kind of a loaded question to include the word “all” but I understand the lack of faith or respect for the USA right about now.

    And I’m guessing none of those Americans have had relatives who were actually living during WWII.

    He did great things.

    The problem is that he only did them for people he liked. And he did TERRIBLE things to the people he didn’t like.

        education, housing, infrastructure, healthcare, etc. Again, only for people that he considered worthy.

        I’m Jewish BTW. I don’t support Hitler. But you’d have to be ignorant of history not to realize that he did great things for so-called “aryans”.

        Its important to remember as we see the rise of fascism in many countries right now. We need social programs that benefit all people, not just what your local authoritarian claims to be the “right” citizens

          I’m not sure how true that is in terms of housing, healthcare, etc. Do you have any sources?

          He did claim to have ended the Great Depression in Germany. While people have pointed to projects like the Autobahn, these projects only had a modest effect on unemployment.

          What really brought down unemployment was massive deficit spending on expanding the army / rearmament and combined with conscription.

          In addition, women, Jews, etc. were forced out of the workforce.

          The problem was this was unsustainable. Nazi Germany began WW2 with a debt to GDP ratio greater than what the USA ended the war with.

          It narrowly avoided a balance of payments crisis in 1934.

          If it hadn’t invaded much of Europe and looted it’s wealth, the economy would have collapsed.

          Source: Wages of Destruction: The making and breaking of the Nazi Economy by Adam Tooze.

            You’re talking about the economy. I didn’t say anything about the economy. I’m talking about social services

              I know.

              I asked if there were sources on his improvement of social services?

              I know the Nazis did cut back on Weimar Republic era house building subsidies.

              The common claim is they improved the economy, which I addressed above.

      Skip to the part where the he knew he was going to lose. He gave jack shit about" his" people. He didn’t even care in 42 when the German army was surrounded in Stalingrad. No he thought only about himself and how to become a god and emperor. In fact he hated people in general. He had more love for his dog than an average person.

      I would not be suprise if Herr Trumpf will have the same ideals. These could be the start of dark times for humanity. And I hope I am wrong.
