Hitler was of course very popular when he was elected. A huge portion of the population backed him. So many Germans pinned all their hopes on him. So many supported and defended everything that he and the Nazi party did well into the 1940's.

But in the last months of the war, things were not looking too good for the Master Race. Defeat was written all over the walls for Hitler's underlings to clearly see. Along with all intelligent German citizens. In fact, a great many Germans realized what Hitler was all about quite early on.

All the way up until all hell was raining down on a defenseless Berlin and Hitler was blowing his brains out in that bunker, I just wonder how many faithful Germans who had backed Hitler with every last fiber of their being and who still believed in him utterly... Still believed that he was right about everything... Still believed every lie he ever told... Still believed that he was going to be the answer for Germany... Still believed that he was going to Make Germany Great Again.

Because I bet that portion of Germans wouldn't hold a candle to the percentage of this country who will be in that category when the inevitability of Trump's nihilistic social and economic policies has already carpet-bombed this entire country into third-world status.

    I suspect a lot of them will play the same game OD and Brown Shorts are already playing...

    "I've said many times I'm not a fan of Trump (when I wasn't voting for him)!"

    It's actually an extension of the old game they played before Trump where they would claim they weren't part of the Tea Party or used Brown Shorts obvious lie...

    "I used to be a D! But the party left me!"

    You're a psycho... but, with dreams.

    po,

    You should be forced to live in the third world for a year. It wouldn't help the psycho part, but it'd give you a touch of realism.

    I would just like to point out that in no way has MAGA Hat Hate contradicted any of my statements. Because he can't.

    He's seen and, for the last few weeks, has been slowly and carefully attempting to separate himself even further from his MAGA Hat brethren's wholehearted and obsequious worship of their Golden God. He sees the truth in what I said. He knows how crazy his fellow cult members are becoming. How brainwashed to reality they are gladly becoming.

    MAGA Hat Hate is simply loathe to agree with me about the pig-ignorant, authoritarian-loving idiots that he votes with. It's easier to just call me names and laugh. Like the rest of the pig-ignorant, authoritarian-loving idiots he votes with do in response to any realistic truth about their Mango Messiah or his cult that they belong to.

    "You should be forced to live in the third world for a year." -MAGA Hat Hate


    So should MAGA Hat Hate...


  5. by HatetheSwamp on June 30, 2025 6:48 am

    I've been to the 3rd world. I'll never forget. Twice. I'm proud to be an American.

    And,... I'll never forget that you are a deranged and hate-filled a$$#ole!


  6. by Ponderer on June 30, 2025 7:16 am

    And yet, I am still correct! As MAGA Hat Hate has yet to counter anything I have said with anything resembling an actual argument.


  7. by HatetheSwamp on June 30, 2025 7:33 am

    Define 3rd world country.

    As your "dithering and diminished" "feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap" often said, the US economy is the strongest in the world,...

    ... and, astonishingly, he was correct.


  8. by Ponderer on June 30, 2025 7:47 am

    See what I mean? Now he's stuck on an issue that had nothing at all to do with this thread or anything I said. Because the actual subject of this thread and the truth of it is something that he is incapable of facing, let alone defending.

    What a mindless lemming MAGA Hat Hate is.


  9. by islander on June 30, 2025 7:50 am

    You're spot on Ponderer!

    We don’t want Trump’s world; we want Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion! That’s what made our country strong.

    The worlds of the Trumps, Hitlers, Jim Jones, and others like them are dangerous aberrations that we recognize. We also understand that we’re all on this little spaceship called Earth, and it’s all we’ve got. We’re all in this together.

    We won’t let this sickness that has spread to many in our country get the best of us. We’re better than them, and we’ll make our world a better place. We've been through some awful sicknesses before throughout our history and always came through. So, don’t worry, be happy…we’re the good guys, and the good guys always win in the end! 🍻

    po,

    pb's addressing the punchline of your post!, the very last part of your argument. Your last sentence. I didn’t aks you to end there, but you did, of your own deranged, yet free, will.


  11. by oldedude on June 30, 2025 8:27 am
    I would just like to point out that in no way has MAGA Hat Hate contradicted any of my statements.

    There's no way you would ever listen to any reason in your present psychosis without us having TDS and having a life that is nothing but misery, paranoia, and complete lack of ego. Like princess, you read a post, and completely fabricate an answer that has nothing to do with what we say. Is a total turnaround on what was actually said. AND/OR a deflection of the truth.

    Neither of you have actually witnessed true poverty, appalling living conditions, the consequences of what you believe, or any sort of "revolution" or civil war. So it's just fun and games for you. Nothing more. And people who are just as psychotic as yourself support your psychosis.

    So actually spending time in a third world "someplace" would be good for y'all. Both of your lily-white, controlled, insulated, privileged lives are showing with your hatred of those that have experienced true poverty, wondering if your child will get a drill bit through their brains by the people that are supposed to be protecting you. Or having to shoot your wife because when the "leaders" forced their way into your house, they caught a glimpse of her neck, wrists, or ankles? Is this envy that we can talk about these as firsthand witnesses? Actually understanding the REAL problems, while you're just being fed bullsht?


  12. by HatetheSwamp on June 30, 2025 8:32 am

    OD,

    "There's no way you would ever listen to any reason..."

    I learned that about po, years ago, after only a few posts.

    I'm pretty sure that that sketch in my dictionary beside the entry for subjectivity is po. Bahahahahahahahahahaha!


  13. by Ponderer on June 30, 2025 8:36 am

    Oh NO! Now that olde dude has joined MAGA Hat Hate in doubling down on the flailing, irrelevant obfuscation that has nothing at all to do with the subject of this thread, my point has been destroyed! Oh, the AG-O-NEEEEEE...!!!

    🙄



    Youfucking idiot MAGA Hats absolutely wallow in pathetic, moronic lameness.


  14. by Donna on June 30, 2025 9:48 am

    So the crux of their counterargument is 'At least we're better off than third world countries'.

    How sad is that?

    But that's all they can come up with in order to avoid having to agree with us.

    Btw, you have to lose your ego to find inner peace, or as Jesus put it, "The Kingdom of God".





  15. by HatetheSwamp on June 30, 2025 10:06 am

    Donna,

    Thanks for tell me what I think. You ain't po, but, practice. No one claims omniscience with the bluster nor confidence of po.

    And, like po, you are wrong.

    I remember the people of the third world and their poverty and oppression. Heck, among most of them, po and you would have been thrown off of a building or beheaded or burned alive. You experience none of that, and, based on youz twoz words, aren't thankful.

    Rarely, am I honestly, and seriously, indignant on SS but I'm getting there. Not because of Trump, nor even America. But, over your insensitivity to the needs and sufferings of the majority of the world's population.


  16. by Ponderer on June 30, 2025 10:08 am

    And the really sad part is, they don't even give a damn about those third-world countries. They're just using the issue as convenient prop for obfuscation.

    These MAGA Hat sleaze buckets haven't got a shred of decent, human empathy in their entire beings.


  17. by oldedude on June 30, 2025 10:14 am
    That's just stupidity talking because you're caught in a corner and have no rational defense for your "feelings."


  18. by Ponderer on June 30, 2025 10:50 am

    It's like they have absolutely no self-respect whatsoever. They don't care how asinine they make themselves look with their lame obfuscation.

    Brown Shorts and Queenie's argument in a nutshell...

    "We've seen third world countries, death and destruction and terrorism up close and personal. Which is why we fully support Israel's attempts to turn Gaza into a third world country with a lot of death and destruction and terrorism!"


  21. by oldedude on June 30, 2025 12:08 pm
    If you cared, you'd actually be there helping these folks. Anything else is bullshit.


  22. by meagain on June 30, 2025 2:55 pm
    I visited the Third World several times many years ago. Even spent a little money ther to help it. It covers a significant area of the Southern USA.

    But, to the question. Most thinking and older Germans did not support Hitler nearing the end. Many, not earlier, either.

    However, organisations like the Hitler Youth thoroughly brainwashed a whole generation of children who grew up in the 1930s. That generation revered him. Personal gain inspired many of the senior politicians and military. Fear of the consequences of defeat kept them in line.


  23. by Ponderer on June 30, 2025 3:09 pm




    Anyways, getting back to the subject of this thread and the brain-dead MAGA Hats here and their pathetic, lame-ass obfuscation aside...




    It seems pretty much the case to me that America's MAGA Hat Party and the cult members who belong to it together are far more gullible about Trump than the Germans of the 30's and 40's were about Hitler.

    While I am certain that there were still quite a lot of Nazi loving Germans who loved Hitler and believed in him all the way to the end, I think their numbers would pale in comparison to the numbers of MAGA Hats who will still be carrying water for and defending everything that Trumps says and does, even as their own lives become a chaotic turmoil of loss and destruction from his policies.

    First of all, what did the Germans in WW2 have to compare to what was happening to them? All there was then was radio and newspapers, both of which Hitler totally controlled. There was no internet, where people could do vast research and learn what was going on in real time. You could almost forgive them for falling for such a bigoted, bloviating bullshitter, as thorough as he was.

    What excuse does the Modern MAGA Hat have? The truth of who and what Trump is and how all he wants to do is rape the livingshit out of this country has been ubiquitously out there for them to find and see with no censors hindering them at all. Other than the censors that they chose to put on themselves of course.

    The truth about Trump has been known for decades. Half the country tried valiantly to get these stubborn MAGA Hats to recognize the horror that they were going to unleash on us all by electing a boundlessly corrupt, incompetent, clownish, megalomaniacal, pathologically lying, white supremacist mental patient to the highest office in the land.

    But even with the example of what the German people did to themselves in the 30's, giving ultimate power to a racist clown who was absolutely no different at the time from Trump today, The Cult of the MAGA Hat blazed right on and fuckedthemselves and the rest of the country anyways.

    Okay, maybe Hitler didn't start out as demented and senile as Trump is. But that just makes the pig-ignorant, moronic idiocy of the MAGA Hats and their cult embracing Trump and his flaming lies and inhumanity anyways that much more inexcusable.


    You often hear the question How could the Germans have let themselves be so manipulated?.

    Well, today it's as if all the MAGA Hats in this country took the answer to that question and turned it into a religion... into a Bible for them to study and follow religiously like Gospel commandments. But to be done with even far more stupidity, gullibility, and asinine, mindless abandon.

    So yes, no matter how bad things get, even for the MAGA Hats, they will still praise and worship their cult leader Trump. All the way to the end.

  26. by oldedude on June 30, 2025 3:46 pm
    Hmmmm... so let's do the math on that. YOU are not there, so obviously YOU do not care.

    I was there for 40 years. Saving lives. You were a scared shitless cowardly child in the fetal position catching semen from one of your daddies when I was there. And you still are. So again, you're a lying little cunt.


  27. by Indy! on June 30, 2025 4:01 pm

    1) You were in the service so you were FORCED to go there
    2) You did not CHOOSE to go there
    3) You were PAID to be there
    4) You are NOT there now when those poor people NEED you to be there and...
    5) if you WERE there - you would be the OPPRESSOR oppressing those poor people, not the guy saving them.

    Yeah, you "care"... CoLOr mE iMpREsSeD, queenie. 🙄


  28. by oldedude on June 30, 2025 4:36 pm
    1) You were in the service so you were FORCED to go there
    No one put a gun to my head. As an operator you can refuse any mission you're posted to go on.

    2) You did not CHOOSE to go there
    See above since it's a redundant statement that doesn't add to the conversation.

    3) You were PAID to be there
    As with anyone that is in the zone, including hospital workers, other 9 liners, people searching for mine fields, testing water, etc.

    4) You are NOT there now when those poor people NEED you to be there and...
    I was there as an advanced medic. That was my job, as I've told you at least a dozen times. We could actually deliver babies if need be. Most of our stuff was when assholes (your buddies) would get wild on the EFPs and take the legs out of some kid or a family. So we were experts in traumatic amputation and keeping those people alive enough to get to surgery.

    5) if you WERE there - you would be the OPPRESSOR oppressing those poor people, not the guy saving them.
    Yeah, that's what the families thought when I was pulling shrapnel out of their kid after he tripped a grenade trap set by your buddies, the assholes. Or having to tell the family there was nothing you could do when Hadi al-Amiri drilled a kid's temple as a warning to his father not to work with the Americans.
    On the flip side, we also did a lot of work with coalition forces, meaning we got them ready to fly out and get to main base for surgery. My job was to keep the surgeons prepped for the surgery and every report I gave them bought these (mostly kids) a little more time.
    OR we'd pull people out of the monsoon flooding in India, rescuing them and treating them for injuries or pulling them out of the mud. Several people got impaled on (mostly) small trees in the mudslides, which is more than a little gross and hard to stabilize. Or we were finding bodies from KAL007, and when that was done, the luggage so the Koreans could identify which bodies they had.

    So while you were in the fetal position under one of your daddies' skirt, licking up "unknown" substances, that's what I was doing. So fuck you. Seriously. You little fucking coward.


  29. by Indy! on June 30, 2025 5:03 pm

    You WERE working for the oppressors - not the oppressed. So you believe in apartheid and genocide. Dovetails perfectly with your support for cop killing.


  30. by oldedude on June 30, 2025 6:28 pm
    I was giving aid and saving lives, a concept you are too cowardly to understand. AND I've been asking you to prove that I EVER said I was in favor of Genocide for over a month now. And you, as the cowardly little concha, will not produce any evidence. At all. When you do, I may answer. You're as big of a concha and poser.


  31. by Indy! on June 30, 2025 6:50 pm

    So if were 1945 and Hitler was dying - you would give him aid and feel good about it.

    I see... 😌


  32. by oldedude on July 1, 2025 12:15 am
    Depends on the mission. If that was the mission for the allies to have a trial and hang him for political purposes, absolutely. At that time, we didn't have the biometrics we do now. so having the body was essential at the time. Unfortunately, "Hitler" (or someone else) was burned and the only remains left are with the Russians. So honestly, there's no confirmation he's dead.

    If it was a mission like bin Ladin or one of your other asshole buddies, then absolutely not. My job would be to gather his DNA, fingerprints and other biometrics, photos and send those back, that sort of thing, and let the team safety the house and gather intel.

    I would also be taking care of our wounded doing triage and sending in my nine-line reports, so exfiltration understands what they're up against. Once that was done, I inform the Team Leader and take up a position for extract. When we get the command, I ensure everyone gets on whatever mode of transport we have. and on the way back stabilize folks and prep them for an easy transition for surgery.

    Again, to you, everything is a yes or no question that you mock so you don't feel bad about yourself and your precious little ego. Real life isn't that simple.

    Watched a little bit of some series on Hitler last night (because cable blows, it has nothing good to watch and I can't cancel it). Anyway, it started with his early years. Knew most of it, but did not know (or remember) he was a soldier in WWI. They explained how he must have been absolutely terrible because he was in for quite awhile and was never promoted from private (or the German equivalent) while all the people around him were promoted even if they were average soldiers due to spending the entire war in uniform.
