I think that when an entire government….

…takes a turn in the direction that our government has, and when the parallels in ideology and action are so obvious, analogies between the two are not unreasonable. (I make this statement as a person well-versed in the history of the 20th century, especially that surrounding WWII.) Even your list…

…divorced from the historical fact that the Nazi ideology was NOT confined to Germany [which ALSO had a constitution!], nor did it end…

…with WWII (and I think that there are other defining characteristics of naziism which our current leaders exhibit) makes the point. We CAN call it something else. That’s fine. But there’s too much evidence of a parallel NOT to make the association. And to be extremely alarmed that, now…

…it is the leadership of our country that is exhibiting the fact that THEY did not pay attention in history class or ever read a book about that period of our history. On that count, I hope we can both agree.

What parallels? You typed a lot of words and said mostly nothing

I'm extremely well versed in the rise in fascism/WW2. Far more than most.

I'm more than willing to get serious in a deep dive here

burndiggity.bsky.social•93 days ago

I’m sorry. I’m not really up for a deep dive in this character-limited space. I would just say that I see absolute parallels in ideology, methods, and actions between trump and his movement and the rise of the Nazi party. The constitution will not stop it. People with open eyes and minds will.

You must not have been paying attention. Justin Trudeau was one of many pushing that nonsense

I don’t follow Canadian news very closely. Sorry. We had a few issues here with a president who was hawking snake oil and disinfectants as cures.

vincentzahler.bsky.social•93 days ago

It was big news and well after trump was out of office

Also trump didn't hawk disinfectants as a cure. Please don't tell me you're one of those who claimed he told the public to drink bleach.

burndiggity.bsky.social•93 days ago

Again, I don’t follow Canadian politics.

vincentzahler.bsky.social•93 days ago

Neither do I but somehow I was aware.

Is that what I wrote? He claimed ivermectin was a cure and that doctors should look into introducing disinfectant inside the human body to cure Covid. He also said that they should look into introducing ultraviolet light inside the body since it killed the virus. Dangerously ignorant.

vincentzahler.bsky.social•93 days ago

It basically was. He didn't do that. You're thinking of hydrochloriquine which he merely praised due to studies that were coming out of France.

He told us that scientists were looking into disinfectant. They were and still are btw. look it up.
