this 1933 diplomatic cable from the american embassy in berlin to FDR that was sent three months after #Hitler took power goes hard

well this toot blew up lol... i guess one thing i take away from it is the extent to which "character is destiny" and how the character of the #Nazi regime was painfully obvious to people of good faith even from its first moments (to that end I also recommend Dorothy Thompson's 1941 essay "Who Goes Nazi?").

unfortunately while there are dissimilarities between that crew and trump's, e.g. the glorification of war, it's also true that there are a lot of scary war loving fascists on team #Trump. Ken Silverstein managed to get a hold of a private group chat featuring a lot of these folks earlier this year. Who was in the chat:

- #ErikPrince (#IraqWar Blackwater massacre guy)
- #KimberlyGuilfoyle (Don Jr's gf)
- #MichaelFlynn
- #NRA guys
- #AfD guys
- #TuckerCarlson
- Israeli intel
- Congressmen who resigned in various scandals

...and worse.

Off Leash: Inside the Secret, Global, Far-Right Group Chat

Military contractor Erik Prince started a private WhatsApp group for his close associates that includes a menagerie of right-wing government officials, intelligence operatives, arms traffickers, and journalists. We got their messages.

@cryptadamist #ErikPrince should scare the shit out of anyone who values human rights and a viable planet!

@DoomsdaysCW as scary as Erik Prince may be he's not nearly as scary as Michael Flynn (who, of course, was also in the group chat)...

@cryptadamist They seem to travel in the same circles (Putin), and were both involved with similar operations (Iraq, Afghanistan) -- the only difference is that Flynn is military, while Prince is a "civilian".

@DoomsdaysCW Flynn is also demonstrably more straight up mentally ill / insane, at least from what i've seen. like he's out there talking about QAnon stuff, shouting "WWG1WGA" etc.

put it this way: if erik prince were in charge i don't doubt there would be mass arrests of anti-trump protestors but if michael flynn were in charge i don't doubt they'd just run the protesters over with tanks tiananmen square style
