    We had help with the rest of the world.

    Germany didn’t get out of the third Reich by themselves (which is what is going on)

      Consider that Germany was in far more dire straits economically, and Hitler’s approval was crazy high even towards the end of the war (something like 60 or 70%). So the entire time the opposition was outnumbered.

      In comparison, Trump’s approval is around 45%.

      LOL ‘help’
      The Soviets killed 85% of the nazi troops.
      The rest was all other countries combined.
      And they would’ve been on the Atlantic in no time without trouble if the allies hadn’t come in to take a piece of the European loot.
      The nazi’s enemy were the communists.
      They didn’t fight as much against the west which gave them all the chances to surrender and escape punishment.

      This sounds like the defeatist attitude they want you to have. Just give up, it’s hopeless. No one is helping you.

      No, I don’t think I will. I think I’ll do something. We need more people feeling empowered to take back this country. Not thoughts of hopelessness.

      Germany didn’t want to, at least not a majority. Maybe if Germans would have known where it was going (unwinnable war vs all neighbours at once etc), they would have tried early. US Americans have the advantage of this knowledge.

            Unfortunately, that knowledge doesn’t just help those who wish to fight against it. Those who seek that kind of authoritarian power also were able to learn what worked and what didn’t.

            They then spent decades patiently cultivating the type of society, through extensive social manipulation that has since been exacerbated thanks to expanding technology, to create the perfect environment for them to try again.

            This is all by design of those who hold the levers of industry to further facilitate their concentration of wealth.
