...the worst impulses of Hitler and the Nazis could be "controlled" or "tamed" once they bore responsibility for leading the national government (rather than criticizing others' administration of it).

I'm sure it'll be different this time around /s

We've been watching fascists pile into legislatures from Russia to the UK for decades. It's cute to make everything about Hitler, but this isn't an event unique to '33.

• Fearmomgering over migrants
• Secular violence encouraged by colonial powers
• Stagnating global economies and bottlenecks in critical resources
• Anti-colonialism in the third world
• Those damned Marxists refusing to sit down, shut up, and back the liberal party

You can find historical parallels in the collapse of Yugoslavia and the Irish Troubles, Modi's rise in India and the Nixon/Reagan reaction to the US civil rights movement, the military coups in Guatemala and El Salvador, the dictatorships of South Korea and South Vietnam...

There's deeper historical roots to Trumpism than just "America made another oopsie cause we're dumb-dumbs"

Yeah; it was after that article where he got a brain worm and went crazy

Ultimately the deregulation they want will lead to people riding giant gas bombs across the ocean. History is just waiting to repeat itself.

Unfortunately your fictional rich guy probably survives, since the majority of the Hindenburg's passengers survived.

Yeah, this time English is their native language.

2. Killed the guy who was trying to kill Hitler's assassin right while he was killing him.

The roads autobahn?

6/10 simulation some events repeat and there's people with too many gems while there's players who are stuck at the "job" minigame

The german book and movie "Er ist wieder da" (He's back) is exactly about that. Just before his death, Hitler is transported through space and time to 2010s Berlin and quickly takes the country by storm again. The kicker: A lot of the scenes are just with real people interacting with the Hitler actor in full costume and the things they say and do is unbelievable. It really shows there's a Hitler in every single one of us and if he really returned, it would likely play out exactly like that. I cannot recommend it enough.

History doesn't repeat but it sure as shit rhymes!

The one thing I also find really fucked is how the r/Austrian_economics on reddit even genuinely believe the quote by Thomas Sowell that just because businesses fail at shit, doesn't mean the government will do a better job...

Like fucking hell! Even when governments fail at doing stuff (and not all government programs are successful, I know) their failures are accountable to the public. If a private health insurance agency has their death panels (and I mean ACTUAL death panels. They exist in the private sector FAR MORE than any public health agency ever) end up never paying out or delaying payouts until the claimant is dead (and thus doesn't need the money anymore... so why give it out?) This is somehow OK... and the company will never be forced to answer for why their system sucks so hard at providing healthcare.

I live in Canada and we have an increasingly privatized system. I had to go on sick leave and I needed at least 6 months to recover. I got a doctor's note who never signed anything like what I was asking for and simply thought that he could sign in for a month and then it can be renewed every month. Guess what? My company used a private healthcare insurance for handling stuff like this. When I got renewals they didn't care. They said that because my first doctor did not word his statement correctly they would support only one month, and any time I spend on sick leave beyond that is entirely unpaid. The amount of shit and paperwork they asked for absolutely shocked all the doctors I worked with and they outright said that what they were doing was outright illegal and a major human rights violation... but they went on anyone with their shit, asking for more and more private information solely so they can find stuff to deny. Claiming I do not have the conditions I claim I have despite multiple confirmations from multiple independent medical professionals.

That experience filled me with an undying hatred of private healthcare and private healthcare insurance.
