The Commonalities Between the Rise of the Nazis and the Tactics of the American Left Cannot be Ignored

<snip>

 

First, racial division was a central component of Nazi political strategy and philosophy.  The Nazi Party was, without doubt, the most racially obsessed political party in human history.  Today’s Democrat party is second only to the Nazi Party in their racial obsession.   Every piece of legislation, every accusation against their opponents, every aspect of American society, even weather and climate is framed in racism.   

The Nazi Party’s obsession with race focused on their perverted belief in the inferiority and superiority of the races. This opened the door for blaming various racial groups for all the problems facing the country.   The American left are claiming the root cause of virtually all problems facing the nation is “systemic racism” as theoretically instigated by one particular race. 

<snip>

Second, the Nazi Party was fixated on censorship and eliminating any cultural institution, publication or speech that did not fully support them.  In other words, their version of today’s “cancel culture.”   The Nazis were notorious for book-burning rituals in order to intimidate and send the message that they would shut down anyone and anything that did not align with their ideology.  Once in control of the national levers of powers, they did so with impunity.   The American left is figuratively burning books as it uses social media mobs as the vehicle to send the message that they will shut down anyone or anything that does not align with their ideology.

<snip>

Third, the Nazis perfected the art of indoctrinating the citizenry through propaganda and “fake news.”  Joseph Goebbels, Nazi minister of propaganda, is credited with saying: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” and “Think of the press as a great keyboard on which government can play.”   

<snip>

Fourth, the Nazis, true to socialist ideology, preyed on class envy to stoke tensions and resentment as they blamed the “Junker Class” (the equivalent of today’s “one percent”) for the nation’s economic woes.   The American left and the Democrat party hierarchy, true to socialist ideology, has long blamed the evil one percent or greedy billionaires for income and economic inequality in order to foment class envy and resentment. 

<snip>

Fifth, in the 1920’s and early 30’s the Nazi Party routinely relied on street riots, property damage and gratuitous violence utilizing their militant cadre, the Sturmabteilung (SA), to project power through intimidation while blaming the communists for the violence.  Every time a riot was met with little or no response from the established authorities, the more emboldened they became.  While the Nazis ostensibly came to power through the ballot box, their ability to terrorize the citizenry and national political leadership played a major role as they promised peace on the streets if elected or given leadership positions in government.

<snip>

Sixth, in January 1933, Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany.  Within four weeks a mysterious fire broke out in the Reichstag (Congress) Building which they blamed on communist agitators and that this was the opening salvo in a violent coup.  Using this pretext, the Nazis were able to force through the Reichstag The Enabling Act of 1933 in March of the same year.   This law embedded the Nazis as the sole dominant political party and ensured that only the Nazis could win future elections, if any were held.  They were the first modern proponents of never letting a crisis, real or manufactured, to go to waste.

The left and the Democrat party seized upon the disturbances at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 to proclaim that it was an “armed insurrection” and the opening salvo in a violent coup attempt by white supremacists.  To further reinforce this false narrative, they theatrically brought in 20,000 National Guard troops and built fortifications around the Capitol building.  Further following in the footsteps of the Nazi Party, the Democrats almost immediately pushed to pass H.R. 1 (euphemistically entitled The For The People Act) which would overturn virtually all existing voter laws, embed the Democrats as the sole dominant political party and ensure that only the Democrats could win future elections.

Not just somewhat similar ... eerie, almost like history literally repeating itself.

Actual Nazism, not just calling some fat guy you don't like Hitler because it feels good.

This is pretty funny for its absurdity. 

 

 

Racist saying others are racists

Those that rail constantly about the free press crying about censorship

Those that literally tried a violent overthrow of a democratic election claiming they are being picked on

 

 

ROTFLMAO!!

I’m a Democrat as well, my friend... and imo, a true Democrat can see that this is NOT the same party it was a generation ago...

 

Our party has gone hard Left, so much so, that it sees moderate conservatives as a greater threat than Communist China- who has set up concentration camps for people simply wishing to practice their faith...not to mention they are oppressing Hong Kong, who is attempting to practice democracy...
 

I’m not sure how old you are, but it is clear the radical Left has taken over our party...we once championed civil rights, but now seek to judge people on the color of their skin...we used to be for free speech, but now seek to silence people who disagree with us...I feel like we are regressing instead of progressing...

I too see the Right wing as a threat to democracy. I mean they have said and followed through on not taking our election seriously and trying to overturn it in the courts, in the legislatures, with violence. Seems like you are blaming the victim for fighting back. 

 

Who is judging people by the color of their skin? You realize the Dems are a multi racial, multi ethni, multi religious open party, right?

I share your plight.  I grew up in a staunch union & Democratic household but this party no longer represents working people.  Working class American's and immigrants seeking a better life through hard work and values.  No longer.  The core constituency are "victims"  Victims of all types and all kinds of things.  When do these people ever play anything but the victim? When's the last time any union leader was invited into the White House to meet with the President?  It might be Jimmy Carter.   And internationally why are they so eager to engage in all types of confrontations everywhere when the consequences of these policies is anything but beneficial to the country and our people?   Its disturbing that some fringe element has taken control.

The problem I have is the Republicans do not represent any of my values and beliefs either.  So where can I turn?  While as I've aged and gained more life experience and my views have changed, I still hold those core values of the old party.  Unfortunately the current leadership has gone off the rails.  If their goal is to ruin the country then mission accomplished.  I find myself wishing for the Greater Depression that will surely hurt all of us but will rid us of these idiots by burning down all the dysfunction they have created and replace it with some new vision based on the old traditional values of the party .  Expressing such "extreme" views might get me labeled as a "domestic terrorist" by the new party visionaries.  That's have sick and twisted these sociopaths are at this moment in history.

While I generally disagree with your conclusions its clear you're very well informed of events so I am 100% certain you are aware of critical race theory.  And you are feigning ignorance of the subject because my argument has you boxed into a corner and unwilling to admit the truth.  The truth being CRT believers judge people by their skin color and CRT believers and advocates are Democrats.  

I'll wager a year's pay there is no school board, academic organization, or other organization either public or private that is pushing CRT that is not controlled or significantly influenced or pressured by members of the Democratic party.

  I have been trying to avoid your nonsense but I can't let this go.  I am probably as old as you if not older and evolution was most certainly discussed in high school biology.  In fact we had a very strong local religious community and this was still discussed.  Perhaps you were absent on the days evolution was discussed?  The Scopes Trial was discussed in social studies along with Darwin.  Even if you went to a parochial school those things would have been mentioned but with a warning not to believe them.  But still you would have heard of them.  Having talked to Mennonites I know that their education is extremely shallow.  Are you or were you a Mennonite?  Is your computer hidden out in the horse stable?  You in the past were never around much on Sundays here?  Are you being shunned at present?

Discussed in passing, but nothing at all in detail. I also asked a few young relatives, and they are good students but say human evolution is something that is barely gone over in schools. 
 

Such an important topic, who we are and where we come from. But educational just barely touches on it. 
 

I also know people who think it’s a lie. Hoax. Fake news, ya know

  More than just in passing if you were paying attention.  I remember biology which was taught sophomore year in high school.  At least a week was discussed on Mendel and Darwin which was a lot given the ground that had to be covered.  The definition of life had to be covered as to lower class organisms such as amoebas.  Plant and animal kingdoms with subclasses including mammals.  Reproduction for both plants and animals.  There would not have been time to give evolution more than a week then.  If you wanted more then you needed to proceed onto college to learn about it.

What is happening 8n the name of equality that is such a threat to you? 

Well, there are two forms of equality- (1) equality of opportunity (which is an immensely desirable thing to strive for), and (2) equality of outcome (better known as equity, which is a very UNDESIRABLE thing to strive for imo).

 

The reason equality of opportunity is so much more desirable is that it allows a society to maximize its talents for the betterment of everyone.

 

The reason equality of outcome (equity) is so undesirable is because (1) not everyone wants the same thing, and (2) not everyone has the same interests or skills...and so, to produce an equality of outcome the state would be required to use totalitarian force to make people do and have the same outcome...

 

This has already been tried several times over the last century, and with disastrous conclusions...People who have fled nations such as the former Soviet Union and Cuba have repeatedly said that what we are witnessing in America now, with racial and gender quotas, censorship, an attack on individual liberty, and destroying those who disagree with the state, is exactly why they fled those countries...so, it’s not good...and again, the public schools don’t teach this for obvious reasons...

No,   it is proof that The State (sadly) is considered more important than individuals, by far too many.

 

 

 

Not the state my friend  but your neighbors, fellow workers, other citizens, nurses, doctors etc. The only 2 people who benefit from this activity is the preacher who wants money and the undertaker who wants money. The preacher gets it twice, once at church and then for the funeral.

i mention this a few times on this board but i grew up on buffalos east side, attended inner city schools and was a lifelong Democrat. ive been a minority in countless situations and have been in fights more times then i can count simply due to the color of my skin. racists are simply people that want to judge, segragate and attack others as a group and avoid treating people as individuals. so i litteraly fought against racists and am now told i am the racist simply by my skin? yeah, not happening. also not confused by the new packaging it is in. ill just keep fighting i guess.

 

there are good people and bad people in every community. although ive faced bigotry i also have made a tons of friendships with people from every walk of life, culture and background. not aquintances or coworkers. true childhood lasting friendships where our families come together in both celebrations and tragedies. 

the people most susceptible to this CRT garbage are mostly the ones who grew up in segragated communities. this society had better realise how destructive it is and how it has been used in the past. judging others on the content of character and not color of skin will always be the standard i live by. equality by bringing those up, not pushing people down.

 

but wait, i have been privlaged all my life without knowing it. 

 

white privlage. where was it?

 

this mystical unseen force was not around to pay my wages when the only companies that accepted me were low.

 

nowhere in keeping me out of dealings with police, fyi a young white persons only reason to drive in MY NEIGHBORHOOD is to buy drugs..i guess, so i was MORE of a target.

 

nowhere to give me some extra white help when i finally got tired of looking in the (general) section of the job listings and changed those searches by attending and completing college. fyi there are alot of grants for specific people that i could not apply for.

 

nowhere to be found for this generational wealth that was to be inherited to me from divorced parents who had hard enough time keeping a roof over my head.

 

if you have benefitted from this privalege commodity and feel guilty, by all means give it away to someone who has not. i started from nothing and their twitter/message board rantings about how everyone with my skin is well off is pretty boastful and self indulgent. why are they condemning others as they type on a high priced phones or computers in a nice house with the very wealth they claim was not earned. i wish they would just give it all to someone who did not have this advantage and relieve themselves. alot of talking and condemning but not alot of becoming the positive change they ask of others.

The whole point of the thread is really stupid. Dems are racist? Really? Last I checked they were the most diverse party ever. Who are they racist against? 

 

Are you defending the original post, or just hating on me because I’m a Democrat? 

Having a diverse party just means more votes for them in more demographics 

 

It doesn't mean that the people at the top aren't racist.. they like to use people.. like people from all parties

So are you arguing that the Democratic Party is a threat to you as a white person? 

 

You are afraid of the Democratic Party having power, correct? 

What is happening 8n the name of equality that is such a threat to you? 

What I think or feel is not relevant.  Only the facts are.  And the facts are CRT advocates judge people by their skin color.  Its all written down in their theory.  Its no secret and it requires no interpretation.  Once again its not my opinion or view its a fact.  Just read the stuff.  And probability suggests that almost 100% of the advocates are members or supporters of Democratic candidates and the party.  This will likely be my last response here.

I agree.  Both sides are manipulative to voters.  Trump is a perfect example, so was LBJ.

This is a politics board, so I’m asking you if you think the Democratic Party is a threat to you. You seem to be suggesting something like that. And you are making it clear that’s its the black participation in the Democratic Party that is threatenin* to you.
