@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes the nazi party also gave the people someone to blame for germanys problems at the time... coming out of ww1 the german nation was having issues with unemployment, under funding, lack of jobs, and lack of economic growth, it was hurting, and those in charge didnt want to reach out for help.. they believed they could deal with it all on their own in their own way... nazi's came around and took a marginalized group and said "its their fault, they are taking your jobs, taking your money, destroying your social programs, committing crimes, and are destroying the nation" and people looked at this marginalized group, and went "yea that makes sense, its their fault, its not ours, its theirs" creating an us vs them scenario,, and they kept pushing that "other" effect.. dehumanizing the jewish people who were suffering just as much as any other german family at the time, maybe more so by that point, because as the hate began to spread.. as the "othering" took effect and as the blame started to gain traction.. finding employment became harder and harder, leading to more leaning on others for help, adding to the vitriol they were already facing.... the nazi regime at that point kept pushing that "other" kept pushing the "its their fault" and kept spreading the blame and propaganda and dehumanizing them as much as they could in order keep themselves in power, and the people believing that they were doing things in the best interests of the country as a whole.. it wasnt until it was too late that the average german citizen came to realize what monsters their government had become and it was too late to be able to do anything for those already killed... by then everyone lived in fear..."if I speak out the gestapo will get me" the ever vigilant boogie man of 1940s germany you didnt know if the person next to you was gestapo, was an informant, or was just an average citizen like yourself, but you couldnt take the risk, you couldnt speak out against the government, or you risked what ever they decided was suitable punishment... up to death...

@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes Similarities to current Germany and the success of the fascist AfD are purely accidental.

@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes it's also what's a lot of Germans still believe
