  • I‘m german and I watch in real time how a fascist Gouvernement is taking over the US.

    Sometimes I feel like I take crazy pills, when a friend of mine assures me that Donald Trump is just a business man who wants to help the country. Or when a good friend of mine who I considered sane and intelligent until this moment sends me a link to a J. D. Vance interview and tells me what a very smart guy this is.

    It’s infuriating. And lonely. I think every American against this should be allowed to speak openly and participate. We have to work together, or we have lost already.










  • Hmm. Maybe

    • „The myth of a strong leader“ by Archie Brown

    I really like this one. It reads pretty modern and might give some insight how the situation in the US might evolve:

    • „Berlin Diary“ by William L. Shirer

    That one is a classic:

    • „How to spot a fascist“ by Umberto Eco.

    Stefan Zweig talks about the rise of the nazis and the beginning of Second World War in his memoirs for a bit:

    • „The world of yesterday“ by Stefan Zweig.







  • On the other hand, I have problems with authority, keeping my mouth shut when I should, and don’t intend to make it easy for people to get purged

    In Nazi-Germany you probably would have been one of the first the Nazis took away. One strategy of them was to curbstomp immediately any defiance in the population. They were successful.

    Under the Magas? Who knows, you might hold out a few years. My guess is about 3 years max, they’d want to consolidate before the coronation, erm, I mean the the next „election“.
