    Are you joking now? Because you seem to be contradicting yourself. You say that you feel for the germans who stood up, but then you say that you have a hard time having that sympathy for germans (including the ones in the previous sentence?).

    The reason I took issue with this is that I’m scared. Fascism is capitalism in decay. A systemic symptom of a flawed and unsustainable system eating itself. That leaves only people and their capacity for good to have hope in. That hope is in short supply. Things will continue to get a lot worse before they get better again.

      Not there I wasnt. I have sympathy for all the people who saw what was happening and fought to stop it. They don’t need to be German for that.

      Exactly I’m scared too and all I can do is make dumb jokes. So when I see things like this it’s easier to be “haha of course history wants to rhyme like that” than be like “oh fuck here we go again why can’t we ever learn”. It gives me no joy to say that and know we are going that route again.
