When a politician starts to literally call for the end of democracy, freedom of speech, genocide of people, conquest of neighbouring countries, nationalisation of major industries, etc ?
- s_m_t 8y agoYeah, Hitler was no trojan horse. He pretty much laid out his plans in a book... Which he wrote in prison after a failed coup.
- bartread 8y agoI would suggest that if you wait that long you've waited too long.
- fvdessen 8y agoToo long to fight against it, or to make Hitler comparisons ?
- ben_w 8y agoAll or some? Also: Freedom of speech is a gradient not a binary, so its loss is harder to notice if done slowly; ditto the balance between nationalisation and privatisation (the fomer I prefer lots; the latter, I don’t really care where the balance is so long as it’s not either extreme).
