German Streets Descend into Lawlessness

Thanks for the resume. Didn’t ask for one. Proves nothing. Call Google and tell them to correct all the links that say otherwise.

LOL. Hopeless.

There were quite a few who said the same the first time. Desperate, frustrated people join movements that do heinous things. Read Eric Hoffer.

What’s next? The US will re-institute slavery?

Forget the brown shirts and the Hort Vesel Lied, and the other paraphernalia.

Just compare. A nationalist, confronted with hordes of invading Muslims may run for Chancellor on a platform of forcibly repatriating all Muslims who riot, rape, rob or assault citizens, but leave alone those living peaceably. A more severe nationalist would do this even to a third-generation German-born Muslim.

A Hitlerite nationalist will want to evict all Muslims, and summarily kill all those who resist or are rejected by their original country. A more severe Hitlerite nationalist will want to kill them all wholesale. Perhaps not in a concentration camp right away or ever, but it took a couple of years before the original Nazis evolved the idea of concentration camps with showers and ovens. They tried several other methods first.

Now, with regard to Americans returning to slavery, it’s obvious you haven’t read Eric Hoffer. There were no frustrated masses of people, looking for a way to be free from their ruined lives, and then a charismatic leader came and got them all hot to trot for slavery. It was an already ancient institution that found its way to the New World as a matter of course, and evolved and festered there until the industrial revolution, when after a bitter civil war it was finally abolished, and the man who did the abolishing shot dead for his troubles. Not at all the same thing at all as Nazism, or Communism, or even Fulon Gong or Rock n Roll. I repeat. Read Eric Hoffer.

Your anti-German hatred is apparent. There is no way the Germans embrace another Hitler. The German people suffered terribly during WWII. The death and destruction were enormous. You should understand the Never Again mentality. For the Germans, they are sick of war. They have become essentially pacifists. They spend less and less on defense, not meeting the NATO obligation. They refused to fight in Afghanistan specifying only a non-combat role.

Wrong, we have a huge and growing underclass that lives in poverty and is dependent upon government. They are frustrated and angry, e.g., black lives matter. Wages for most Americans have not increased in 15 years. We are being flooded by immigrants who take American jobs and depress wages. We have 46 million on food stamps and 80 million on Medicaid. The gap between rich and poor is increasing and the middle class is being destroyed. We are being Balkanized along racial, ethnic, cultural, and linguistic lines. We have a $20 trillion national debt. America is the largest debtor nation in the world.

There is fertile ground for civil discord and social strife. A man on horseback could take power and destroy our Constitution. Black Lives Matter and riots like we have seen in Ferguson and Baltimore show that our cities are tinder boxes ready to explode. Over 3,000 people have been shot in Chicago this year alone.

Might I point out that the Germans who suffered terribly in WW II are now in their dotage, those that still live. And that pacifists, when raped, robbed, beaten and humiliated, are also suffering terribly, and can and will discard old paradigms for other, more “practical” ideals, just as those suffering terribly during WW II changed from adoring Hitler to despising him, and those who voted for Hitler went from adoring culture, socialism and philosophy to breaking glass on kristalnacht.

In 1933, Hitler and his cronies couldn’t even show their faces in the Ruhr Valley, where the coal miners loathed them. After 1934, they all belonged to his union, and not the old one that had them pelting Hitler and Goebels with coke fragments. The communists had believed that Germany would be the next country to go red. Instead, it went brown. So spare me your overly confident prognostications.

This is not unique to Germany, either. Danes and Frenchmen are also peace loving, and can also become fanatically violent, though it looks as though that will not be happening in Denmark, or England. As for France, it depends how nasty Hollande gets with the nationalists in the next election, and how successful he is with the usual cries of “nazi” and “fascist” against anyone to the right of Bugs Bunny.

As for slavery, there might well arise a nazi movement in the United States against blacks, but it will be for their extermination, not enslavement, or at least not the enslavement that existed in the old South. But nazism will not be overtaking the US any time soon, because instead of the woman who would provoke the backlash, the Americans are electing Donald Trump, who is exactly the kind of pressure valve that will prevent a fascistic backlash against blacks, immigrants, etc., just as Brexit has saved England.

Black Lives Matter and riots like we have seen in Ferguson and Baltimore show that our cities are tinder boxes ready to explode.

Actually, they show just the opposite.

Most people aren't having any of the BLM crap, and the "riots" have been incredibly tame overall. Very few people injured or killed, and property damage isolated to local neighborhoods for the most part. You want to see tinder boxes? Look back to the 60's, and also other incidents in earlier decades and periods. Bad, bad stuff...

The fact is, most Americans, including most minorities, have been living in a post-racial America for a few decades at least.

There will always be those who attempt to capitalize on friction and unrest, but, if anything, they have been far less successful that they might have hoped.

We need to keep things in perspective. We're complaining about a few idiots kneeling for the national anthem, for instance, but it's not like any of those idiots are being violently assaulted, despite their obnoxious behavior.

America, despite its unique melting pot history, remains an incredibly peaceful country, and is likely to never indulge the tendencies for extreme bigotry, repression, and mass murder which has occurred in Europe and other parts of the world repeatedly over the last century.

Freedom, on balance, has a pacific effect on people, even those who are socially or economically disadvantaged.

In any event:

The Revolution is ON!

Vote Trump!
