Do you believe that history will repeat itself and give rise to another Adolf Hitler somewhere in the West?
Physics-Man
Yoda
- History does repeat itself because we see that repitition all the time. Will we see another adolf hitler? Maybe. I don't know if it will be in the west but its possible (look at Europe, refugees are coming in and raping and pillaging these societies and their are many people who are getting angry about it but if they say anything they will be punished by the powers that be so they just bottle it up.
This causes that anger to fester and become increasingly more twisted as its not being dealt with in a healthy manner and that could very well create another hitler type person who will see the problems that are created by the "refugees" and extend that behavior to the entire group regardless of whether or not its warranted.
Their is actually a good german movie about this called "look who's back"(dark comedy about hitler being transported into the modern day. However it points out just how this scenario could play out as we don't take it seriously but also ignore the problems (as I pointed out) which causes that festering wound to occur and these combined allow for hitler to rise up again).
So I don't know if I would say it will happen but it certainly COULD happen given the right circumstances.0|10|1Is this still revelant? - History doesn't always repeat itself, but it often rhymes.0|30|0Is this still revelant?

314- IT WILL!! What people fail to recognize is that Hitler wasn't the first person to invade massive amounts of land and commit mass genocide. Historical figures like Genghis Khan, Attila the Hun, Alexander the Great, Vlad the Impaler, etc. were Hitler before Hitler.0|00|0
No, they weren't. They were vicious, take-no-prisoners warriors and conquerors, but so was everyone else at the time. Hitler took control of a democratic society and turned it into a murder machine.
Anonymous1 moA similarly totalitarian figure would have to be anointed by the oligarchs that run things in today‘s world, but they seem to prefer more shadowy Wizard of Oz-type arrangements, at least for the time being. And a bioweapon would be a much more effective method of killing off lots of people.0|10|0- Anonymous1 moI believe that the next fascist/dictator/oppressive leader will be a leftist. Imagine a SJW or Woke leader shutting down all disagreement. Allowing Rage Mobs like Antifa to attack cities and citizens at will in order to intimidate them.
Orwell's Newspeak is already on its way, as well as some of the other events in the book0|10|1 - “It is necessary that I die for my people, but my spirit will rise from the grave and the world will know that I was right.” - Adolf Hitler0|00|0
Like what? I mean, liking dogs, good, killing millions of Jews, Romaines and Gays, not. One does rather get outweighed by the other.
- Not in the west but there’s already concentration camps in China, another real life Holocaust against Muslims and no one gives a shit.0|10|0
- Whether in the west is anyone's guess, but the Antichrist will certainly be the worst dictator to ever arise.0|10|0
- History always repeats itself. It can take a ton of years to happen, but it will happen because there's nothing new under the sun.0|10|0
@goaded: Computers isn't natural human behavior. I'm talking about there's nothing new under the sun when it comes to human behavior.
True, but at least instant worldwide communication can be used as a tool to avoid making the same mistakes, as long as not too many people believe the lies.
Of course, it can also be used to propagate the lies.

- Maybe it already did? Albeit a less successful one without the exact same bad moustache.0|00|1
- I think it already happened - Donald Trump to be exact.0|10|2
Trump imposed a tremendous amount of less government regulation during his administration. Like he actually fought to give government less power to intervene in business practices and taxation practices. How is that comparable to hitler? Sure, you don't like Trump but that makes absolutely no sense when democrats seek more federal power, and more regulation.
@Not_Average Trump's not attempting to use raw political power to hold onto office at the moment, at all? Not encouraging his supporters to think of everyone else as evil cheats?
@goaded He’s allowed to investigate and suspect the election included fraudulent activity. The democrats did this in 2016 for three years. Comparing hitler to Trump because of that is wildly far fetched and inaccurate.
- Show All Show Less
@Not_Average He's allowed to, but he should provide evidence. The democrats did not try to delay Trump becoming president for three years. It's not that far-fetched, but would you prefer I compared him to Putin?
@goaded They’re working on providing the evidence. It took the dems 3 years of investigating, and they didn’t find anything substantial enough to hold up. These things take time. This does not make him comparable to hitler. That’s entirely irrational and extreme.
@Not_Average No, you start lawsuits about voter fraud with evidence of voter fraud, you don't say "I think there may be evidence next month". Clinton conceded within days.
The investigation was hampered in several ways. There was no counter-intelligence investigation of Trump; Mueller was given to understand that one was going on independent of his criminal investigation, and the FBI was given to understand that Mueller was doing it. Plus multiple people were convicted of obstruction of justice, which apparently worked.
Like I said, would you prefer Trump was being compared to Putin?
@goaded yeah and Clinton was never president. If you truly want to compare Trump to Nazi germany, then go ahead. I know nothing about Putin.
@Not_Average Well, Putin was president of Russia for the allowed two terms, then got himself made Prime Minister for a term, with a puppet as president, then became President again, got the constitution amended, so he could serve more than two consecutive terms, and is now trying to get a law passed immunising himself and his family from prosecution.
In the meantime, doctors who raised the alarm about covid-19 decided to use exactly the same method of "suicide", opposition politicians have been locked up, people worldwide have been poisoned with polonium or Novachok, he's invaded two neighboring countries...
Of course, most of that didn't happen in his first term.
- Anonymous1 moI think the best thing for society is to ban people from saying "history always repeats itself," it's inaccurate and destructive to people's minds.0|00|0
You're not wrong, but "consistent human behavior" is often taken advantage of by unscrupulous people, and that's what we've seen over the last five or six years. And it's still going on. Learning from history involves spotting these things and raising the alarm before they become disasters.
