So today I addressed why its important to be mindful of history, and not be willfully ignorant of history. Like the guy wearing the 82nd Airborne Hat and saluting the Nazi flag. Or the guys saluting and praising the Nazi and Confederate flags in general. I mean, thats like being proud of your Philadelphia Eagles flag. In the end, you are just supporting the losing team. There are more Confederate flags in this town than when I lived in Little Dixie, so I might have stepped on toes. I told the kids I didn't care. Tell momma and daddy. They can bring it. Its weird that in 2017, we had a Nazi kill a US citizen on our land. So how was you guys day?

Ok, I'll bite. I won't let Dip fight this alone. The similarities between Hitler's rise and what is happening in this country is concerning. You hope the checks and balances established by our founding fathers are strong enough not to repeat history, even at a smaller scale.

I don't see history as cyclical, but when you have the same inputs, you get the same outputs. If you always do what you have always done, you always get what you have always got. That being said, far edges of the liberalism would look like communism, where as if you go far to the right, it would be fascism. Both liberalism and conservatism have their places, but taken too far, you end up with either one of those two failed ideologies. Thanks for the back up gpp.

Educate me, gpp. Explain the above statement, please. He is talking about how the wealthy elite made a deal with the devil in Germany so they could make money again and remain the barrons of industry. They made this deal because they feared communism back then. We made it here because our industrial leaders wanted higher dividends. They would back anybody to get what they wanted in both instances. Gov't that serves the will of the corporation is fascism.

Notice the original thread, I didn't attack our illustrious leader. We get the gov't we deserve. You chose someone without experience in Washington, don't be surprised if you get a person that can't get things accomplished due to not understanding how it works. Domestically, this is why Jimmy Carter also had problems. Good guy, but didn't know how to get things done inside Washington.

Contrary to what most people think, the Nazis were ardent socialists (hence the term “National socialism”). They believed in free health care and guaranteed jobs. They confiscated inherited wealth and spent vast sums on public education. They purged the church from public policy, promoted a new form of pagan spirituality, and inserted the authority of the state into every nook and cranny of daily life. The Nazis declared war on smoking, supported abortion, euthanasia, and gun control. They loathed the free market, provided generous pensions for the elderly, and maintained a strict racial quota system in their universities—where campus speech codes were all the rage. The Nazis led the world in organic farming and alternative medicine. Hitler was a strict vegetarian, and Himmler was an animal rights activist.
