RE: Europe is turning into a Nazi Concentration Camp

Of course half of the people in the hall were there to MAKE the show, but yeah, a lot of people were that enthusiastic about total war.
It makes me vomit.
Hitler 33, first speech as chancellor:
About the re-rise of the German Nation (or, in modern words, Make Germany Great Again!)
through OWN work, OWN effort, OWN determination, OWN defiance, OWN tenacity
Allright but let's put things in perspective, the hardcore Nazis made up about 5-10% of the population, and at it's peak, the Nazis had ~40% support, the rest of them were either agnostic or were outright hostile but were too afraid to speak up.
Basically 60% of the population didn't like the Nazis. And that came after 1 huge economics crisis, and a decade of political turmoil.
The Nazis promised to give the jobs back and revived this rabid nationalism, which was a leftover of the Prussian militaristic state, so I guess the 30% out of the 40% were just basically nationalists.
And they didnt know about the holocaust, and the other atrocities. So the Nazis knew exactly how to manipulate the population, and they still only managed to get 10% "hardcore nazis" brainwashed, meanwhile the other supporters were just brainwashed nationalists from Prussia.
So this means that a large part of the population is not actively evil, but passively. They passively enabled the Nazis to take power by indirectly supporting them or not opposing them, but they had not participated in the atrocities.
And this is what happens today as well. How many people did oppose the EU? Most people were either oblivious, a small part of brainwashed new-age "we are one" freaks have supported it, while an even smaller part of the population who were informed, have opposed it.
But this time it's different. We have mass media, the internet to inform the stupid sheeps about the dangers of tyranny. There is no excuse now, since all information is public.
If humans fall again for tyranny, then they we are really a dumbass race who are really not fit for survival. And it will probably end in WW3 anyway, essentially making the entire race go extinct through nuclear war.
