This 22-minute short film was made by the US Army just after the Second World War, warning about the tactics that Nazis use to gain power.
It's baffling how many parallels there are with current political developments. I think this video should be shown in every school around the world.

@metin This is great!
Of course the sad reality is that MAGA sees & promotes DEI as racist & sexual minority rights as nazism..
โWait a minute. Maybe weโre the nazis? Is not an easy question to ask.โ
@metin
thank you posting this on peertube. i'm not a fan of big-tech platforms.
this prompted some memories in me.
initially i counted this as nationalism, good lord i became immune this kind of garbage long time ago. but i don't think nationalism is the word anymore.
@metin This is indeed very illuminating! Thanks for sharing!
In this context, I could also recommend a book from Ece Temelkuran: "How to Lose a Country: The Seven Steps from Democracy to Dictatorship".
@WolfgangSchindler Thank you, I will check out the book.
A tip back: I recently read this article, which has some slightly encouraging views regarding Trump's presidencyโฆ

@metin Thanks for sharing this article.
Ece is also a Turkish journalist who is in exile due to her opposition to Erdogan:

Wow, I was wondering how the video was getting so many views! ๐ฎ
Thanks for sharing it ๐
Just added subtitles to this, you can get them by clicking CC. Thanks to @CodingOtaku for finding them!
@metin there's heaps of them, all shown to the father's/grandfathers of these men.
The US army actually had a huge fascist/Nazi problem before they entered the war, and they knew any ignoring it would encourage fascism in America.
It's just a pity they didn't understand how to actually stop the spread; kind of like leaders now
