But the 63 per cent of the German people who expressed their opposition to Hitler were much too divided and shortsighted to

lucky if Europe and the rest of “the West” survive China/Russia expansion

So who is the enemy we should focus on? Is it Trump? Is it Putler/China? Neoliberal and austerity policies of both parties that created the fertile ground for neofascism?

The OP article is about Trump and US economic policy, and I replied to a comment that segways away from "stopping the nazis" and instead focuses on the evil "Putler".

Yeah the parallels to weimar are there, but it's that you can't see them - you are the ones who distract with this conspiracy theory that Trump is somehow Putin's asset or his creation. It's like saying that Hitler is Stalin's puppet because they want to divide up Poland (Ukraine) - just because they help each other out it's not reasonable to start persecuting the socialists - which they did and do now! (Tankies bad, defederate).

Buddy if you can't hold more than 2 thoughts in your head there's no real discussion to be had lmfao. The longer you are in denial about Russia the more power they have.

What are we personally gonna do about Russia? If you mean by force - nothing. Don't fight a land war in Asia. (In fact, conquest & imperialism is bad, mmkay?) Bombing our enemies only makes hardened future enemies. But they are attacking every democracy, and they are assaulting ours via MAGA. That is useful to get people to see. Russia, and their agents, are not working for you/us. They are infiltrating and co-opting governments around the world.

If you can't or won't see it you're just blind. 🤷🏻

Absolute dogwater argument. That I'm distracting or don't see Weimar parallels because I also understand/see how Russia has been attacking everyone 😂😂😂😂 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 I'm trying to focus on unity and the many issues we are facing

And you're here crying like a bitch "but nooo stop with Russia bad"

Are you Russian?
