Not quite right, Von Hindenburg was president while Hitler became chancelor. It was generally thought the politically very experienced Von Hindenburg would be able to control the newcomer Hitler. It was the other way around.
Which is exactly how Hitler came to power too, the middle chose right because they were more scared of left.
Well yeah, it’s articifical intelligence, not idiocy.
Well, you only need about 3.5 percent: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190513-it-only-takes-35-of-people-to-change-the-world
Why tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas!
The Franz von Papen of his time.
Ding Ding Ding! The prospect of giving up even a yota of that power makes them lose their fucking minds. Literally, because dementia.
Yep, only queens survive for several years.
If he would actually work. The last time he just did a record amount of golfing and shitposting.
I mean, technically it is. But so is fascism. Both have the government tightly controlling everything, including industry. But socialism/communism (in theory) works for the good of the many, while fascism always only works for the good of the few.
Because the Verfassungsschutz sucks, but that’s not the fault of the Bundesverfassungsgericht.
And they repeatedly declared laws of the government unconstitutional, not matter which parties were in the coalition at the moment.
Also, Hitler had to declare a state if emergency to gain the absolute power the Supreme Court has just handed to the US president.
Suffice it to say, something lile this is impossible now in Germany. The justices of our highest court, the Bindesverfassungsgericht, can only hold the job for 12 years and can be no older than 68. They are also always equally voted in by two different branches of the government and need a two thirds majority for any decision.
Our democracy isn’t without faults, but this is probably our strongest bulwark against another descent into facsism.
Some of you may die, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take!
Plus, a lot of them got Covid without a vacchine and that disease attacks your nervous system and can shave of between 3 to 6 IQ points with each infection. So they are likely even dumber now than they were before Covid.
Fun fact: Biden is actually too old to be a boomer. So is Trump.
Oh, don’t worry, most European countries are on their way to become just as shitty as the US.
I still remember being dissappointed by the US when Bush became president. Then horrified when Trump won. Now I’m just scared and depressed.
The campaign of the first one is pretty short (once you figured out good strategies for your people’s survival).
In the same vein, sharks are older than trees.
