As the wealth of nations gets concentrated in a few privileged families through capitalism, more resources are removed from the middle class. Then comes the great depression, the great recession, the Treaty of Versailles, austerity for the middle class, bail outs for banks, foreclosure for the masses.
Our US factory jobs all moved out right before the great recession. And along with them, went the decent paying middle management jobs. We are now a nation of cashiers, waiters and servers.
This is what the MAGAts and Nazis feel. This is why they feel victimized. They may not understand why this is happening but they know their children and grandchildren aren't getting even the small successes they or their parents once had. Austerity and reparations have done their work on the middle class.
And all this wealth legally
and illegally collected from them, is fed to the filthy-rich. Then the filthy-rich use the wealth to make them afraid through propaganda and manipulation.
They buy up very convincing ads and propaganda to convince them that other Americans and immigrants are the real enemy. They divide and conquer.
Krupp was once the largest company in Europe and it made it's wealth from building weapons. I.G. Farben was a chemical conglomerate made up of 6 other companies. Yeah the average pre WWII German was suffering from the Great Depression but the filthy-rich were not. Austerity and reparations were the excuse used to take more from the middle class.
The filthy-rich have the wealth of small nations and now they want control and obedience from the people of those nations. So they buy monsters to implement their plans.
The populace of Nazi Germany and Trump supporters are merely believing the lies and propaganda. They are almost hypnotized by it. They can see only Trump or Hitler as the man who will save them from the mounting stress of slowly losing all they use to have. And they come with built-in, guilt free, scapegoats like Jewish people and immigrants.
Their plans work so well. It's amazing that people here can so readily see through the lies and manipulation. I have to wonder why everyone does not fall for it.
