#hitlers

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

One of the greatest journalistic misapprehensions of all time was made by one of the greatest journalists of all time. In December 1931, the legendary American reporter Dorothy Thompson secured an interview with #AdolfHitler, whose National Socialist party had recently surged in the polls, bringing him from the fringe of German politics to the cusp of political power.

“When I walked into Adolf
#Hitler’s room, I was convinced that I was meeting the future #dictator of #Germany,” Thompson recalled afterward. “In something like 50 seconds, I was quite sure he was not. It took just about that time to measure the startling insignificance of this man who has set the world agog.” Within a year, Hitler was chancellor.

#SmedleyButler: #War is a #racket: companies supplying both sides of the #war is "normal business practice" (and good #profit #wtf???

"Kuznick explained that then-Senator #HarryTruman then #president #Truman suggested that the #US support whoever was winning the war, whether that was the #Russians or the #Germans" (to profit from the catastrophe while the "competition" is destroying itself)

Ich denke, das wäre maßgeblich davon abhängig gewesen, ob der Tod #Hitlers dazu geführt hätten den den Krieg zu beenden und dann das Regime abzuschaffen.
Ich schätze auch, dass wenn man nur der Hydra einen Kopf abgeschlagen hätte und gleich welche nachgewachen wären und Deuschland sich im Krieg behaupten hätte können, dann wäre er auch kein Held.

#Isreael is playing in the “Villain Pro League” now.
Are they just using #hitlers “Facism for Dummies” playbook?

"This gov behaves as though it has decided to ensure at any cost that #israel will be ostracized all over the world. They've gone crazy," Lapid continued.

The Union of Journalists in Israel stated that "The Ministry of Communications must immediately stop the crackdown on media outlets & journalists"…

@tagesschau Kann ich verstehen. Als offenbar glühender Fan #Hitlers, der #Aiwanger mindestens einmal war, ist das ein #NoGo.

Er hat die Situation gar nicht begriffen, weil er nur an sich und seine #Karriere denkt. Darum auch die halbherzige Erklärung, in der er sich noch als #Opfer einer #Kampagne bezeichnet. Das macht alles noch schlimmer.

Er sollte die #Reißleine ziehen und zurücktreten. Das wird er eh tun müssen, und dabei wohl auch die letzte Gelegenheit verpassen, reinen Tisch zu machen.

"I see #liberal #solutions to the rise of #fascism is still "#vote harder"

"to say #hitler came to power in an #election is also very #misleading, especially for #audiences who don’t live under #parliamentary #systems of #governments. he lost the #presidential #election of ‘32. the #nazi party had won a plurality, but lacked a majority. one of #hitlers opponents in the presidential election, paul von #hindenberg, appointed him the #chancellorship. it was after the reichstag fire that hitler convinced hindenberg to pass #laws curtailing #citizens rights, and which it can be said that hitler had come into his #dictatorial power. not by him being elected as supreme #ruler."

#EmmaWatson liest aus #Hitlers «Mein Kampf» vor, und #Eminem rappt rassistische Sprüche: #KI macht’s möglich. Auch die Stimme ist vor Diebstahl nicht mehr sicher

Das waren noch Zeiten, als Tech-Vordenker die Voice-Revolution ausriefen und die Stimme zum fälschungssicheren Passwort erklärten. Künstliche Intelligenz hat die Stimme zum Leihobjekt gemacht.
