Hitler's playbook is also being reused in India.
Hitler blamed Jews for Germany's inflation. The chief minister of Assam (one of states) belongs to the Hindu supremacist BJP (PM Modi's political party as well) and he has been blaming Muslims for the sky-high food inflation. Muslims are lynched to death by violent Hindu supremacists almost every day, and they who do not have the power to prevent this are somehow charged with having power to control food prices? The only problem with Hemant Biswa Sarma's lies are that they will be used as another excuse to harm Muslims.

The world would be a better place if we could gather Nazis and wannabe-Nazis and fascists together on an island and leave them there.

Wag the Dog came out in 1997. Art imitating life or life imitating art, it's all cyclical.

Foundations of Geopolitics is a great read, and really details the steps Putin has taken since gaining power.

[–] elouboub@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The question is: are Russians listening? Probably not and Putin will still have strong support.

The average Russian must have no idea what the real world is like. Literally drowning in prop.
