Did a 1933 Article Report That Hitler Would Not 'Disrupt' Germany?

Events always seem more obvious and predictable after they have already taken place.

Here’s a copy and paste from the 1933 article:

Rise in Stocks Reflects Confidence He Will Not Disrupt Nation’s Affairs

Berlin is settling down to pass judgment on political developments. Politicians, economists and bankers declare there is usually wide discrepancy between the speeches of opposition politicians and the actions of the group when it gains power.

Consequently, it is not believed that Hitler will accomplish a change in the constitution or that [Reich Minister of Economics Alfred] Hugenberg will bring about a general reduction of interest rates. The government wants to obtain an adjournment of the Reichstag for several months, but it is questionable whether the Centre [Party] will approve of such action.

    totally false, it is the state itself that is conducting the genocide. this is like saying that americans are responsible for the genocide because they voted for trump or harris

      Well, aren’t they? If a whole populace democratically votes for genocidal maniacs, isn’t that at least a little bit their fault? If Americans really didn’t want a genocidal leader, surely they wouldn’t go out of their way to vote one in?

        No, not really, because the US elections aren’t free. More americans didn’t vote for them than did vote for them. So by your own metric, they didn’t go out of their way to vote for genocide

          US elections are free.

          They are however not compulsory and the majority decided to stay home.

          Now we get to enjoy the freedom that abstaining from voting provides.

      A disgusting apologist spotted…

      German’s dindu nuffin, mate 🤡

      There is no state without people nor is there the IDF.

      Without having support from the core population and bunch of willing participants in IDF, this would not be happening. Israeli jews support this with enough force for the state to be able to execute it.

      Also, yeah US is about as guilt in here too since Israel will never be able to do this without US political cover and logistical/materiel support.

      US jews along fundamentalist Christians are pushing this genocide too…
