Did you know dog ownership was banned in soviet Russia?They just took away rights from the people and destroyed things financially.
Kind of like Democrats today, but that is coincidental.

Not that I don't expect to see some historical illiteracy or miseducation from time to time, but seeing this dishonest myth pushed over and over again by fully grown men in America is becoming a level of ridiculous that has gone past humorous.
The modern idea that Hitler and the Nazis were 'liberal socialists' (wtf does that even mean) is not an idea pushed by historians or even people who have a passing familiarity on the era of Nazi Germany.
It is pushed by pretty much entirely by one man as far as modern discourse is concerned:
STEVEN CROWDER
Every single ridiculous point made in this video is refuted specifically in this response here:
"This idea that Nazis were left-wing is just self-serving fantasy. There's no milder way of putting it. The NSDAP members occupied the seats of parliament which were literally the farthest to the right, and to the left were other nationalists, conservatives, liberals, social democrats, and communists. It was a totally unambiguous fact to everyone in Germany at the time.
Each European nation's fascist movement were comprised of former conservatives/former conservative voters. The NSDAP (Nazi Party) gained popularity at the expense of Germany's other right-wing parties in the early 1930's. The German People's Party, German National People's Party, and most splinter right-wing parties saw almost all of their support transfer to the Nazis."
Steven Crowder has zero knowledge on strasserism, the night of the long knives or Hitler's deeply personal and well documented hate of communists. Don't be Crowder, do your fucking research.
Here is where the comparison to Nazi agenda and 2021 is particularly relevant.
Spoken by a child (Jewish) survivor of Nazi Germany.
First 15 minutes covers it in broad strokes.
Edit. Go to start of video.
A Jewish (child) survivor of Nazi Germany is equating the "pandemic" to the build up to Nazi Germany becoming a thang.Are you trying to equate the covid pandemic with Nazi Germany? Are you really this stupid?
Also blame the assholes at YouTube and Facebook writing the algorithms that show them all this nonsense.
Says the man with double yellows. This is the first time I've ever read your screen name or read any of your posts.Blame the grown ass men on this forum like @MaxMMA who substitute their education with outrage youtubers.

No I don't remember, it's a karate forum with few memorable posts or posters.Alzheimer's kicking in at your age? You don't remember our exchange from the Jim Caviezel thread?
If you want to categorize me remembering you caping for Q supporters as 'rent free' then rock on, dude.

First 10-15 minutes of the video covers it.
Are you calling her stupid? Watch the video and stop being so dense.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video.She is saying a lot of stupid things in that video.
Experience with tragedies doesn't make you an expert in anything. You can live through things and still come out of it with little understanding of what you lived through.
And all of your past experiences are not directly relatable and transferrable to your future ones. They only help to shape how you see the world, but that doesn't make your views anymore valid than others. It can do the opposite. You can see Nazism everywhere, as you try to connect the dots and make sense out of the world.
She sounds very similar to the Cubans in Florida that swear Stalin Communism is right around the corner.
There are legitimate conversations and concerns to be had about government power, freedom, viruses, etc. But to compare this global COVID event in any way shape or form to Nazi German is incredibly stupid.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video.
"Experience with tragedies doesn't make you an expert in anything" - agreed, it doesn't always - and it works both ways... I'd also add - that someone who literally lived through it, will understand certain things better than say - someone who's only knowledge of it is from reading a book about it. Yes it can go the way you say.... But it can also result in a deeper understanding, a level of expertise that those that didn't go through it simply wont have the same level of understanding as.
You and I have different ears, she doesn't sound Cuban like at all to me, she also sounds intelligent and considered to back up her experiences.
"There are legitimate conversations and concerns to be had about government power, freedom, viruses, etc"
Yes, intense censorship, loss of essential freedoms, medicalised tyranny, an enemy class and hero class, insane levels of propoganda, a gradual erosion of said freedoms....
There ARE a lot of conversations to be had, especially around this virus and the response to it. Which by any sane cost-benefit analysis, simply does not add up.
One of the tricks I believe, is to observe the actions first, narrative second. The picture being painted is very clear if one does that.
She isn't saying things lightly, and the man interviewing her is currently in court against the German government.
And yes, I absolutely agree with her. She's the proverbial Canary singing in the coal mine, but it's three or four generations since anyone died of carbon monoxide positioning, and anyway - the owner of the mine said there's no more danger down there anyway - and no one listens..
Cool, we agree that experience can be a double edged sword.I agree that experience can most definitely be an invaluable gift in seeing and understanding things. But it's a gift that not everyone has.
I was careful to not call her stupid. She is well spoken, and I understand how she came to her conclusions, but I think that the comparison is inappropriate and inaccurate. Whether it's the left or the right, this constant need to compare everything to the absolute worst thing we can think of isn't healthy or helpful. The root of what Nazism was about makes it completely inappropriate as a comparison when talking about most of these things surrounding COVID, imo.
All these kinds of comparisons do is halt conversation.
We'd get a lot further if we just addressed the very real issues that exist and stopped trying to compare them to the worst, evil moments in human history.
"Fascism" has seen a definition change over time where they added "right wing". Most older dictionaries do not make that distinction.
The Left are acting like Nazis in many ways.
I'm an idiot that makes no sense
I don't know, the Nazis have a lot in common with today's liberal in how they censored speech and stripped gun rights lol
They just didn't want jews having guns (for obvious reasons).
The left have built an intellectual house of cards and they protect it by continuously altering definitions and moving goal posts.
"You're acting like a fascist"
"How can I be a fascist? To be fascism it has to be right wing, and I'm a proud liberal!"
"Explain how your behaviour and beliefs differ from how fascism is defined."
"I already told you, fascism is right wing! I'm a liberal!"
Okie doke!
