    No-one said he is a Nazi, just that he’s a fascist. There are multiple different flavours of fascism – it isn’t all literally shooting people in the head and ordering thousands of people into death camps, it can be more subtle and insidious than that.

    Also worth mentioning that fascism generally doesn’t start with the ethnic cleansing and mass murder, it starts with things like; scapegoating minorities, being overly tough on crime, and peddling misinformation. It takes quite a few years for the fascists to gain enough power to be able to enact the kind of policies that are generally pretty unpopular among normal people.

    • All im saying is my grandmother witnessed it firsthand and extra part of the story, her mother shaved her head as the russians were pillaging the city so she would look like a little boy cz she hadn’t developed breasts yet, that way the russians wouldn’t rape her cz the russians soldiers were ruthless animals, but war is disgusting

        Go check out what UN peacekeepers do in war-ravaged countries, in fact, recall abu ghirab and other US atrocities. Let’s not collectively assume all Russian soldiers are “animals.” We’re all animals and bloodlust isn’t as far from us as we may prefer to think.

          You’re excusing Soviet atrocities by saying “what about the US.” Try doing the same trick to excuse Nazi atrocities.

          Tankies are disgusting.

        • I’m in agreement with you and i think we share more in common in thought than what we realize, I am not the poster child of bipartisanship given my history on this website and others however, I’ve always been a believer in freedom of thought and speech as it helps us find common ground and find out what we can easily make progress on in this experimental republic known as the United States, it is important to have these conversations, because hyper partisanship amongst the people leads to hyper partisanship in government which inevitably leads to Civil War. A battlefield of debate is a much easier path than a battlefield of lead and blood. I have read the Bible front to back multiple times and sometimes I feel like a terrible person for the things I’ve said to others online and about my fellow man. I guess what I’m saying is the world is evil and it’s easy to get sucked into that evil; although I think there’s more good than evil in this world. It’s entirely up to you, but I’ve created a community that values free-speech, and when I first opened it three years ago, it was filled with people of all kinds of beliefs, and was truly an enlightening place until it was stolen from me by those claiming censorship was the better alternative to what I was offering. Three websites later here I am and I’m offering you the opportunity to speak freely in a community that I moderate where disgusting personal attacks are not allowed and conversation must be kept civil. Although my instance, probably doesn’t have a lot of liberals in it or or liberal minded people are in. I welcome those who want to step outside their comfort zone and echo chambers are to speak to the other side and see where things go even if we don’t always agree, and things get a little tense, but know that as moderator, I will protect your right to speak freely, and without disgusting hostility, and this rum, even though you will find those that disagree with you, I hope to see you there friend https://exploding-heads.com/c/freeforumfamily

      Hitler’s first power-grab failed. The Beerhall Putsch was not his first attempt to seize power, iirc.

    • Ive read about hitlers rise to power, I actually posted a detailed documentary on it as well, ill share it here for reference, I encourage all of you guys to watch it, https://youtu.be/yWqnnUeD6cw I would tell you to pay close attention to how german ppl felt hopeless before and then hitler promised such good things. And for the record for those who don’t know nazi were national socialists for reference here is wiki https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism But seriously watch the documentary, it’s extremely informative, (also not for nothing but i been hearing nothing but trump is a nazi, his supporters are nazis for 8 years now so im sorry but lets not pretend comments with dates dont exist, no offense)

        With respect, I think that’s exactly what’s happening here, and pretending “socialist” wasn’t a part of his plot to attract commoners -volk- is somewhat disingenuous.
