90 years ago this was happening [View all]



90 years is not enough time for humanity to evolve.

The video covers a period roughly from 1933 to 1938, after Hitler rose to power and before WW2. In comparison with today's circumstances, President Biden's policies which reduced inflation and unemployment after TSF's disastrous first term present a twist for TSF: on the one hand he can skip the economic recovery steps (TSF isn't much of a fan of massive public works projects anyway unless they result in a golf course with his name on it), on the other hand his team has to put in extra effort to generate ethnic distrust and economic despair (some of this has already been done during his 4-year presidential campaign). Hitler had to rebuild Germany's military, whereas America already has a fine one. Plenty of parallels to be found, but events would play out in a different order.
