re: #107 LudwigVanQuixote

And they used a message that a corrupt and weak government was loyal to foreigners before Germany (sound familiar?),

that the real Germans couldn’t make it in Germany anymore because of those traitors within (sound familiar?),

that Communists secretly controlled the government and would take over and destroy all German liberties (sound familiar)

and pitched all manner of outrageous conspiracy theories (sound familiar) all designed to play upon the racial fears of Germans who felt they had no control over their lives (sound familiar)

It was backed by well funded industrialists who spread a disproportionate voice to the movement through the media. (Sound familiar?)

…andddd this is the post where you connect the dots and hit it out of the park, for me at least. Well done sir. I agreed with you before this post but this really sums it up nicely.
