Elerond Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Some could think that Der Spiegel's editorial board don't like Trump much. When you see everything as Hitler no one will care when one such as him finally takes power. When it comes to Der Spiegel I would not say that is fair statement. But question is from what you known that somebody like Hitler has taken the power? If you look how he rose to power you will have hard time to differentiate him from lot of politicians. He campaigned with German first platform, protectionism, national security, jobs for Germans, resign from "unfair" international agreements, stopping terrorizing minorities, stopping minorities stealing German jobs, Christian and family values, and so on. Well, except for the whole Mein Kampf thing, being in prison for an attempted coup, and brown-shirted nazi thugs running riot in the streets. People didn't seem to think that Mein Kampf was bad when it was published, it praises those same things that Hitler used in his political manifesto. Hitler's going in prison was seen as oppression of political opposition that has courage to speak truth. Brown-shirts come after nazis were already in political power to ensure that they will stay in political power, meaning that in that point of time was well pass the moment when somebody like Hitler had taken the power.

Elerond Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Not so: https://infogalactic.com/info/Sturmabteilung They started first as outside group that supported what Hitler seem to sell (you can point of several similar kind groups that support current populistic political movements/parties/candidates) who actively distributed false information about people currently in power, evolving constantly more radical tactics. But it wasn't until after Hitler was in power that he made it as his group, by eliminating people from its power that had their own ambitions for power that didn't align with Hitler's vision. So when you know when radical group that harasses political opposition and spreads false claims about them is "Brownshirts" and not normal political activist group? Like you could say that Bernie Bros or Trump supporters, or Black Lives Matter protesters used similar tactics during election than "Brownshirts" used in beginning.

Oh well, at least this paper dropped any pretense on what they want: How do you know that they weren't Hitler? What if they just failed to grab enough power? Or they are still in process to executing their plans? But seriously how many people have won election with similar manifest to Hitler's and how many of them have gained actual control over the country? Can you give some examples of such? And what comes to Trump, it is how he acts that makes people not like him and narrative where only his vision can safe USA and actions that he has taken after being elected. Also his seeming disregards towards other branches of power also don't help when people claim that he is authoritarian. Also that his staff constantly gives out statements that have alternative facts in them don't help in building trust towards him. Also making his first executive orders to go against idea what people think America is also don't do any favors to him. Disrespecting foreign leaders especially those that are your closest allies also don't give good picture. And so on. I can't say that he is actually Hitler as he has not yet at least started to throw people in furnaces, but even for Hitler that take some time to get going on. But currently I would say that policy wise and how he goes with their execution Trump is worst leader in any western country during my life time. But if your people are happy how with how he does things then good for you. But for me Trump seems to be currently worst enemy that western hegemony has seen for decades, but that is not saying that I don't see some good opportunities rising from his presidency, especially in Europe, where politics are closer to my hearth than they are in USA. Like how I find it funny how our anti-immigration, anti-Islam, anti-EU, anti-Euro, pro Finland, pro protectionist etc. populists party that is currently in our government finds Trump actions troubling and anti-Western, although they are more than willing to look past that as long as USA does trade with Finland, but Trumps and GOP's speaks for extra boarder taxes for countries like Finland don't help their worries.

Chilloutman Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 you know, the more I look at it, the more it seems that 9chan and 4chan decided that they will just troll big time in real life, get their asses out into voting both and trumped it. And rest of the liberal parts of the internet folk were too busy bloging about Trump and didn't voted xD I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"
