Just because he idolizes the nazi military doesn't mean he's a nazi. He is of course. But that's not why, everything else he does is why.

Nazis were a lot more competent and did drugs that improved their performance (in the short term)

[-] LePoisson@lemmy.world 22 points 5 days ago

Honestly the Nazis were not this Uber competent group. Tons of in-fighting, poor strategic and logistical choices, and they did not run the government nor country in this rigid orderly way that is and was projected by their propaganda.

I would say they had a very good propaganda campaign that's still ongoing and paying dividends. Once you look under the surface some and start learning more about how the country was governed it becomes clear there was plenty of room for improvement.

I mean, think about it this way, they chose to commit an industrial genocide on a hellacious scale wasting men, material and destroying the soul of a nation. How much more manpower would they have had if they didn't commit these crimes against humanity and instead had drafted these folks.

Like I know it's not a great comparison or awesome though experiment and lacking any nuance but I think it makes a point.

There’s a reason the regime collapsed in less than a decade.

Yeah that dividend still pays out, it's insane. Take a country that ruins itself so badly so quickly, and the propaganda works anyways ??! The human brain is wild.

Nazi economy was dependant on war. Their propaganda that Nazis have fixed the economy was so good that it lasts to this day. While the person responsible for it was ingenious his policies went all against at the time rules of economy and for a reason. It was just masking the problem which could be hidden only as long as there was war. In defense of the economist it was not his plan unlike other nazi's to expand the war, but to stop pretty early compared to what happened. I would love to answer any questions but even after spending 90 minutes on a 30 minute video I was not able to understand it completely.

The German economy under the fucking Nazis was a Ponzi scheme and the German worker was earning less than the incomes from late 1920's. That is f'ed up and MAGA continues to guzzle down their Orange Kool-Aid.

[-] KernelTale@programming.dev 1 points 3 days ago

Yes, they controlled inflation by controlling unions and ceiling prices.

yeahhhhh but just barely, hitler was just ass much of a fucking nut-job as trump.... he advised his generals to read less sun tzu and more karl may; a children's book author, who wrote stories about cowboys and indians, who had never even visited the US.

this would be like trump telling hegseth to read more harry potter to figure out how to strategize better in the straight of hormuz...

fascists are always incompetent, because they are fucking clowns....

[-] FrChazzz@lemmus.org 9 points 5 days ago

I remember back when Cracked was good a writer doing a number of articles aiming to dispel the “mystique” of the Nazis as some sort of genius-level evil and expose their incompetence. Iirc, documents have shown that the Nazis would’ve imploded on their own due to their own idiocy.

Growing up I heard all this “the German people are the smartest people in the world and Hitler was able to pursuade them through his charisma to create this insurmountable enemy that we were blessed and lucky to defeat…” Hitler won mostly through election interference and their own bloviating stupidity was a key factor in their downfall. Fascists are stupid. Deadly and dangerous, yes. But ultimately really stupid and we need to not allow any mystique saying otherwise to crop up. Fascism always fails. It hurts a lot of people in the meantime. But it will always fail.
