So it is immature to suggest that Obama could go down the line of a dictator, eh? I'll bet if there were internet forums in the 1930s and 40s, we'd be able to pull up posts by your generational equivalent saying the exact thing about Hitler. "It is so immature to say Hitler is a dictator." Obama has shown himself willing and able to circumvent "checks and balances" whenever it suited him. There is no reason to suggest he won't do so now. We don't live in a true Democracy. Not anymore. This is crony capitalism at it's finest.
Hitler achieved adoration from the masses, particularly women. The Third Reich was a fascist state that came to power through false flag attacks such as the Reichstag Fire, and endeavored to pit one group of society against another. It was also a police state through the use of Brownshirts, and Gestapo. Also, the use of propaganda played a crucial role. How do these attributes stack up with the US under Obama, whose term ends in 4 years. Some consider the comparison irrelevant. Ron Paul, who is derided as an old kook in some quarters, says the US is headed down the road to fascism.
+1 An interesting thing that I notice here is that some folks can be quite intelligent but also irrational at the same time.
There are other possible reactions to the crisis of inequality besides fascism. Perhaps we'll go the route of Caesarian reform under Julius, or France under Louis XVI. Or perhaps even elements of our own history in the years following the Gilded Age.
Did all of your other examples have a significant debt overhang? I'm asking honestly, because I do not know without having to look it up.
This post made me smile, as I clearly remember almost identical posts being made while Bush was in the office by the left. He stepped down after his term limit ran out, so will Obama. 4 years will pass and another President will take the office. Meanwhile, I am planning to enjoy life, my wonderful family and friends, and will try to make a world a better place according to my abilities.
True. The crisis really didn't come to a head until, once again one of Nature's favorite history changers came along, poor harvests. It's at those times you don't want to be a parasitical money renter, or priest. : )
Excellent, then you can quit whining like an 11-year old girl and cease making moral judgments that nobody here is interested in. Your surprise is due to your extreme naivety. Your English is atrocious and painful to decode and your opinion has the weight of a crack dealer in a back alley.
