re: #325 FriendsofHummus

Disturbing thing is to see how rapidly they grew in support. They start out as a truly fringe party. We’re talking like gathering under 5% in 1928 not even 4 years prior. The Nazis are frankly why I’m wary of populist movements. And economic hard times are the perfect breeding ground for demagogues.

Agreed. Events in Europe could go this way again very quickly. We already have a significant crop of neo-Nazis in Greece, and the mainstream political systems in Europe seem as incapable of dealing with the banks there as in the US.
