Here is what the takeaway should be. In 1930’s Germany, being a social deviant was the “in thing.” These were the rebels, the ones who tried to change German society, not unlike America’s rebels of today. They brought cultural change to a nation which was pretty much conservative for generations. During this time, there was also a big push from the Comunists to the east. Among those Communists were many Jews who managed to get across the border as well as those who lived in Poland and neighboring countries.
The one who promoted this change was none other then that wacky mustachioed Austrian height challenged corporal with the Napoleon complex. Him and his cadre of radical socialists fomented the breakdown of German society and once in power he pounced.
Everyone who was instrumental in the social collapse of Germany were systematically slaughtered. During this slaughter, Hitler created a sense of nationalism which included the ethnic cleansing of the European Jewish population as well as the ridding of the Commuist presence.
Why is this important? If Ed Schultz had any brains he would realize what happened in Nazi Germany is the same thing happening here. We are in the phase of social collapse. This will be combined with cronyism at the corporate level as well as the consolidation of industries. Education and religion will be regulated by the state.
Here is where it gets interesting. 2 things have to happen. The first is someone will have to be blamed. The second is there will be a call to nationalism under the guise of taking our country back. Once this happens, the first people persecuted and killed will be the deviants, because they are the easiest to blame for the cultural meltdown. The second will be the Jews. This is why Kerry has his panties in a wad.
However, none of this can happen due to one and only one reason. That is called the second amendment. As long as people can organize and fight back, the government cannot persecute. We saw it in Nevada. They are clueless as to what to do when we the people organize.
Lovely notion, but a delusion.
The BLM backed down in NV because they didn't want to look bad.
The Nazis, at least after the war started, couldn't have cared less if they looked bad. Armed resistance against them would simply have resulted in their bringing in additional forces to crush the "revolt."
That doesn't mean that such resistance isn't sometimes the right and moral thing to do, but a few civilians could not have taken on the Wehrmacht and SS and survived, much less won.
One can (sometimes) hit and run successfully in such situations. One simply cannot stand and fight. Unless you want to die. And probably your whole family, the neighbors, etc.
"We the people." Another problem in Germany was that "we the people" supported Hitler. It's generally conceded that by 38/39 he had somewhere between 80% and 90% of the German people behind him, possibly even over 90%.
