One difference is that in 1933 there was only the Duce in Italy as a role model, who was almost harmless compared to Hitler. Today, on the other hand, it is possible to look back not only at Hitler's empire, but also at Franco's Spain, Vichy's France, Quisling in Norway and other leaders such as Pinochet in Chile.

And thought to yourselves how ignorant and unaware those people must have been?
Well, look around.
Because the past is upon you."

@SearingTruth Like I told you on the other account f*ckstick, I ain't here for your fortune cookie wisdom or whatever scam ass cult shit you're trying to push. You're a fucking fraud and I can tell you're more than just a "little misunderstood." You are bullshit and you think you're smart enough to pull one over on me. You ain't.
Fuck off.
