I know we're not supposed to compare Hitler to MF45 but I just saw this program on AHC

[kimbutgar]

And was stunned by the similarities between them. American History Channel AHC had a free showing on my Dish TV and I taped it. Watching it gave me chills as to what we are dealing with today. An arrogant insane person who is able to captivate enough people to make them cult members and how he rose to power by propaganda. I found out you can buy the show via you tube but if you have the AHC channel in your satellite or cable package you can probably get it on demand.

Here is the YouTube link to buy the show.

1. Why not?

The similarities are not lost upon people who actually lived through that time in Germany.

2. There's a term called Godwins Law about comparing Hitler to current leaders

But screw that law. MF45 is Hitler 2.0. The fact he was ok with letting the Coronavirus spread tells me he would actually be ok with millions dying so he can retain power.

9. That isn't what Godwin's law states.

As a discussion on the Internet grows longer, the likelihood of a comparison of a person's being compared to Hitler or another Nazi reference, increases

Nothing about current leaders and unlike many think no indication that making the Hitler comparison means you lose.

12. I think Godwin himself has said that Godwins Law does not apply to tRump.

3. Also similarities to Mussolini and Stalin or really any dictator

He just really wants to be King.

4. a charismatic leader will fail without a population predisposed to go along. Germans were

overwhlemingly in favor of hitler policy before hitler became a thing. he knew that and tapped into it effectively

[Ilsa]

5. One of the factors regarding their devotion was

the economic suffering they were enduring after the Great Depression, and how the nazi party/hitler said they'd fix it. ("Only I can fix it" --- ?)

6. Why shouldn't we? Twitter deserves the comparison. nt

7. Hitler comparisons are totally unfair

Hitler volunteered for the Army.

[kimbutgar]

8. Ahhh

[captain queeg]

10. And Hitler was smart. Evil but smart.

[Ferrets are Cool]

11. That ship sailed long ago...compare him all you want to Hitler. nt
