"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
This saying is used subversively against us. It's usually used in reference to Hitler. "Learn from history so you don't do what Hitler did."
The truth is that they don't want you to learn. They want you to listen. If you learn, you'll come to understand why Hitler took the actions he did. They want to rape kids, steal land, make everyone into slaves, and have everyone be dependent on them so they can continue unchallenged.
We ought to learn from history. Even recent history... Perhaps most importantly. We should show these people and their lackeys no mercy. Every time we show mercy, it is taken advantage of. When this happens enough times, the sentiment will grow more and more sour until people can't take it anymore. That's how you get another Hitler. Accountability needs to be administered while it still can be without millions more lives lost. Maybe upwards of a billion now.
@matana yeah I get that Hitler was a bad guy, what I'm saying is that there needs to be an end put to what is going on right now before history repeats and we do get another Hitler. Regardless of anyone's opinion on him, a person like Hitler coming to power isn't ever a good thing. I'm hoping things do not escalate to that point.
For all of Trump's faults, he is floating around ideas that could prevent something like this, such as lowering the interest rate cap, preventing corps from buying all the houses, and blocking transgender shit for children. The problem with Trump is that he isn't radical enough to actually enact these changes in a major way and quickly. When it comes to foreign policy he is pretty tough, but anything domestic he fizzles out on and that's why a lot of people (including myself) didn't vote for him again. The slope is getting more slippery all the time but all he really seems to care about, by way of his actions, is that the country's gdp goes up. It doesn't matter who is actually benefiting from that.
@beardalaxy Hitler also wanted to rape kids, steal land, and make everyone into slaves
