The far right (in Ireland, in France, on the Internet, and thankfully I don’t really see what’s going on in the US and Israel and Russia and elsewhere) is so moronic and misguided and sad that I am stunned into hopelessness when I see it gaining strength. Was public discourse even that stupid in the 30s?
@clafou Short answer: "Yes." "All your problems - your #unemployment, your low #wages, your bad #housing, your #poverty, etc., are caused by the #Jews." And people just swallowed that #Nazi nonsense hook, line & proverbial sinker!
@rmblaber1956 yes, thank you, I don’t mean to minimise the absolute insanity of that era. It’s chilling to see a return to that sort of argumentation when we should have learnt from our recent past.
