In 1930s germany most people would vote for the facists, people did not turn to facism because they were born evil. That is to say, if you were german and lived through the effects of the end of ww1, you would be facist too
If you went through what they have, you would vote for trump. Their environment made them who they are.
So what's the excuse for the people who had what is probably the cushiest life in all of human history?
1930s germany was not cushy
His point is that even if the Germans of 8-9 decades ago were stuck in a bad position such that fascism was their best choice, the people who are leaning into fascist ideals today don't have that same excuse.
Its not an excuse, but you also cant say that people voting right nowadays were born evil either. Its for a reason.
So what you're saying is - it's their choice. That seems worse, no?
Its not their choice. They had it worse than the 1930s germans did
People are a result of their environment. Nothing more.
We can conclude your environment has no point, only semantic debate.
Alter, willst du mich verarschen? Das kannst du nicht ernsthaft glauben? The fucking Boomers had it worse than the Germans in 1930?
The person in the photo is too old to be a boomer, and yes, the boomer had it much, much harder
