  • The quote clearly states ‘joined the party’, those are NOT collaborateurs, those are members of the Nazi party, or as explained - Nazis.

    Nobody was threatened to join the party, historians agree on that, people who joined were either true believers or did so to gain some sort of advantage.

    The NSDAP, at their peak had 8.5 million members (1945), so around 20-25% of the German population at the time. We can argue about the other 80%, there is some nuance to be found there, of course. But those 20% Nazi Party members were Nazis, no nuance needed.



  • So, what’s your plan for the election? Not voting, sitting in a corner yelling “it’s unacceptable!!!”?

    Or voting the lesser of two evils and working to better the system?

    The democratic parties of 1920s Germany also were full of racists, antisemites and union busters, but not voting or worse voting for the NSDAP only achieved one thing - the Nazis power grab.

    So what’s your plan?







  • Nope, not what we were talking about mate. Op said:

    That’s not outrage being directed at the perpetrator, it’s outrage being directed at an entire demographic of people of which the perpetrator happens to belong.

    You said :

    It’s not in the article, it’s in the comment you were replying to. What am I missing?

    So don’t try to move the goalposts just because you talked shit, I’m sick of this bullshit.

    We were talking about why a, admittedly monstrous, rapist needs to be used to demonize a whole demographic. You pretended like that wasn’t in the article, I proved it was, that is the fucking conversation we’re having here.




  • edit: Sorry, I’m exhausted for unrelated reasons and that was probably rambling. You can probably safely ignore every part of this post after the first sentence. Hopefully that one adds some conversational or morale value.

    Relax, you’re fine, man. I like some insights in people’s lives, it’s interesting, even though it’s only a short window I like to look inside. I figure I’m not the only one.

    Hope you have a great weekend, stranger <3





  • Some of this shit reads like bad action movie plots.

    Death ray plot

    In June 2013, two men from upstate New York were arrested after building a “death ray” x-ray device and plotting to use it against Muslims and other perceived enemies of the US and Israel,[46] including Obama. The men, Glenn Scott Crawford and Eric J. Feight, were arrested by the FBI after a 15-month operation involving FBI agents posing as co-conspirators. A court affidavit described the device as “a mobile, remotely operated, radiation-emitting device capable of killing human targets silently and from a distance with lethal doses of radiation.”[47]

    Crawford, affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan, allegedly had contacted an Albany synagogue and a Jewish organization and asked for their assistance with technology that could be used against Israel’s enemies. Crawford also plotted to kill President Obama with the device. The undercover agents rendered the weapon inoperable to eliminate potential danger to the public. Crawford and Feight were charged with “conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists”.[48][49][50][51][52] In 2015 Crawford was convicted and on December 19, 2016, he was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison. Feight pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 8 years and one month in prison.[53][54]
