Sarcastic bluesky post saying [time traveling back to 1933 to make sure to tell Germans to protest Hitler less vigorously so as not to alienate bougie centrists who want to go to brunch undisturbed, thus preventing the rise of fascism]

    …Wait, you genuinely don’t know why the SPD was so hated by the KPD? Like, you’re not being obtuse rethorically, you actually don’t know?

      What, the not-literal-Hitler groups didn’t get along??? Holy shit they actually tried to tear eachother to shreds for electoral gain instead of focusing on the dude ready to literally planning to shoot them both in the head??? Noooo!!! Surely politicians would never hammer wedges! This could never happen again!

      Wow wow wow wowser. I really hope the SDP was sending homosexuals, liberals, communists, jews, minorities, etc, to camps, or the Communists would be utter fucking morons for literally equating the Social Democrats with Nazism. As they literally did.

      Fuck me, people who don’t know history are condemned to repeat it, while people who do know history are condemned to watch everyone else repeat it. Get me off this ride.

        I think you need to work on recognizing when you’re in over your head.

          Yeah, let me work on not expressing anything that I expect to be ideologically incorrect in a given space. Does leftymemes not like my criticism of leftists who enabled Hitler? Oh no, how will I survive the negative feedback

          Downvote the fuck away, the only thing I fear is a fascist taking advantage of division and taking power, ready to put us both in a camp just for commenting here. Surely that could never happen, right?

            I’m not saying it to be catty, I don’t really have a dog in this fight. I know very little about early 20th century European politics, and even to me it is obvious who in this conversation has read books on the topic, and who’s maybe read a wikipedia page if anything. I honestly believe your life (and that of those around you) would improve if you worked on being more self-critical. You’re coming off as the guy in the typical mansplain story where a guy at a party explains to the author of a book that she’s misinterpteting her own book.

              Am I talking to people who wrote the books? Or the same people who would have been diehard KPD, focusing on tearing down the SPD while Hitler takes power, cackling?

              Thanks for your unsolicited input on how to improve the life of a stranger.
