It's quite amazing to me just how much of that whole period is not really "whitewashed" but rather just distorted. It's been nothing but a psychological propaganda warfare mosh-pit even just after WWII. I'm sure someone will invariably want to knee-jerk make accusations of "nazi sympathy", which is precisely the kind of proto-religious type of response and psychological abuse nonsense I am talking about.

Even this subject piece is not even trying to hide its utter and blinding bias that made reading it all but a challenge and totally destroyed any real credibility it may have, while also being really nothing different than the same kind of rousing propaganda to rally the opposition to imaginary fascists we see today. We get it, you're against fascists, now if there were just actual fascists besides yourself that you could be against, and no, insisting that my stuff not be stolen or given away to others is not fascism.

What I really see as a major danger these days is that we are so obsessed and fixated on the particular incarnation of the characteristics that resulted in both nazism and communism, that we are missing that the very same mechanism is happening right before our eyes as the left ratchets up its mob rule and rousing of emotional animus towards a particular group. The even more dangerous part is the kind of nefarious and duplicitous nature in which they are going about this all. It is something that the Nazis never really even engaged in. They were quite open and frank about what they were doing and going to do, but what today's left is being driven to do is straight out of the communist playbook that you can even read from back during the interwar period.

I expect to see the very fascist organized advertisement campaigns that we have already seen, largely starting with Obama, to only continue to nudge their way into mainstream. We are seeing all the same characteristics of the authoritarian socialists/communists we saw evolve into the nazis and the soviets, there is nothing that would make me believe that this time they would not also evolved into something else... some new brand ... using different colors... different uniforms (maybe the black masked types of anti-FA) with the same kind of well spoken, emotionally manipulative, well presenting cult of personality leader that frames herself as a wrongly persecuted individual to gain sympathies and political power as she rallies the stormtroopers and naive fools around her.

One thing gives me at least a little solace at this point though, even if it's just self-delusion, that the current left is extremely scattered on the ground, even though they have utterly infiltrated and compromised the government and civil society and education system that is churning out Hillary Youth at an alarming rate that are also being elevated and rewarded into the halls of bureaucratic power by validating their party membership and loyalty to dear leader Hillary... just like under the Nazi and all other authoritarian and totalitarian regimes.

You thought "affirmative action" was some means for warm and fuzzy mutli-culty holding hands and singing kumbaya? ... the real point of affirmative action was to invalidate merit and install party loyalists into the bureaucracy.

This is going to go sideways. The chances of it not all going sideways are far lower than those that it will, regardless of whether people recognize it or not.

If you consider that the housing ~~bubble~~ fraud was a kind of WWI that totally shuck the system to its foundation, then we are really only in the interwar period before black friday; and the crash had been setting up for a while now with tech companies being pumped to astronomical levels on the basis of no real substance other than adding some emojis and playing cat videos as a basis for selling adds. Ironically, the left are also sounding ever more like the Socialist Workers Party, with Hillary's latest demands that the electoral college be done away with so that pure mob rule democracy can reign, and of course the guns need to all be controlled and taken and the Constitution needs to be destroyed and the monuments and history need to be eradicated and wiped clean (I think the author referred to that as being iconoclastic).

I get it, I actually supported Hillary and Obama in the past and I was also indoctrinated in the liberal cult for a long time, but it is not too late to reject this resurgence of authoritarian socialist collectivism that has all the same core hallmarks that led to the Nazis and the soviets and all the other minor communist and socialist regimes around the world and throughout history.

This is that moment you always said to yourself ... "I would have recognized it and I would have stood up against it, and I would have left" or "I would have killed Hitler" .... well, here we are "you have the option to recognize that Democrats are the heirs of socialist authoritarianism and that Hillary is the equivalent of Hitler.
