The Weimar Germany versions of the Koch brothers (whose father btw built a refinery for Hitler) were very unhappy with democracy. They liked the old patronage system under the Kaiser. They believed they could control Hitler and the Nazis and were all too happy to support him (if not officially) in order to get rid of democracy. Great books if you have time are Ian Kershaw's two volume biography of Hitler (Hubris and Nemesis).

You know who else liked puns? HITLER.

No, seriously! From volume two of Ian Kershaw's biography of der Führer:

> 'The Chief,' as those in his daily company called him, was generally in a good mood during the first part of the Russian campaign. He enjoyed light banter with his secretaries. When Christina Schroeder could not find her torch one night, as she emerged into the dark compound, Hitler remarked that she should not think that he had stolen it. "I'm a country thief (Ländledieb), not a lamp thief (Lämpledieb)," he quipped.

yes. It was a two part book actually. Hitler: 1889-1936 Hubris

Hitler: 1936-1945 Nemesis

Not the quickest read, its super in depth. But I promise you'll know more about Hitler and Germany around that time than 99% of people.

Ian Kershaw is a historian who wrote a two part biography that was very good. The first part is "Hubris" about 1888-1936 and the second part Nemesis about the years 1936-1945.

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich is also good but it was written by a journalist who lived in Germany at the time - so there definitely is some bias in what he wrote. That's not to say that it's not worth reading or that it isn't informative though.

Because no one has ever studied Hitler...[facepalm] These are not propaganda pieces, but detailed biography and breakdown of the politics and strategies of the man and the era.

I mean, despite his vileness, he was successful. If you want to know when it's happening, you kinda have to know how it happened the first time. In all actuality, if you read even a little(I'll include links at the end), you can see exactly the same traits in the regressive left who uses patronizing racism to manipulate the populace.

You know who else...:

...had a thing against Judeo Christians as a whole?

...had a thing for Islam despite an obvious contradiction in agenda?

...whipped up crowds with vitriol and false accusations, using scapegoats to blame societal problems on?

...was a socialist and advocated violence instead of reason?

...carries out their violence without a tinge of conscience?

...wanted to split people up by immutable traits of groups instead of personal responsibility?

...sought to eradicate or limit certain rights like the right to firearms, free speech, and freedom of the press?

...had a dislike of individual rights such as materialism?

...makes claims of merely defending society from some nebulous embodiment injustice yet can't really come up with good examples that stand-up under scrutiny?

...supported their platform based on inequality of races?

...uses their own version of previously established language, their campaign centering on rhetoric and crass exaggerations rather than sound reason?

...had a convenient habit of dismissing their own flawed arguments out of hand?

...infiltrated the universities and encouraged teaching there to mirror their agenda?

...had youth outreach programs?

Hint: Reggressive Left and the ultimate villain himself

>Iron Cross

In short, not every "iron cross" is an homage to hitler. When soldiers brought the medals home, they were very often immediately repurposed. The general shape never got quite the stigma that the swastika did. The iron cross became to mean something entirely different as it became more popular in pop culture. It's spread far and wide among wide arrays of culture, bikers, surfers, metal bands, etc and has since survived on it's aesthetics. As is common, people often say the nazi's were despicable, but they did have style.

You really think someone who dresses and talks like the above couldn't wear an Iron cross without being a nazi?

Over all, Instead of believing something you sourced on Tumblr of all places, you may want to, you know, crack a history book or two yourself, get some perspective, or in other words a thing called context.

THIS is why the left is very much the prejudice bigots they're pretending to fight against.
