    Read some history books about Germany 1925-1945, and you will notice eerie similarities.

        You know how before he was elected, people would point out that his favourite book was mein campf and his favourite people were all dictators and that alot of the stuff he was saying and doing was the same stuff hitler was saying and doing to get into power? And also how literally every day people would say, “he’s the next hitler” or “he’s trying to become the next hitler”…

        That is still true now after he is elected too.

        I first read this as “by William Shatner.” For a moment, I thought, “I didn’t know Mr. Shatner dabbled in academic historical analysis…”

          Apparently he was an econ major. McGill’s a prestigious university as well, though I’m not sure what the rep was in the 50s.

        It should have been taught in school.
