No, it doesn't. "Because Hitler" is way too vague. It doesn't tell anything about which events seem similar to OP and how the situation in the country is evolving. Unless he means Putin is acting and thinking like Hitler which is a gross generalization and still doesn't tell much about what's happening. By that reasoning it follows that OP should have left the country when Putin was first elected president in 1999. edit: Also, Hitler became head of state in august of the previous year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1934_in_Germany https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1934_in_Germany So, why 1935 and not 1934 ? But that's okay, OP clarified things https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19521632 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19521632 I am curious why this is downvoted and people seem to be OK with the Hitler rising to power comparison when we usually have political conversation here that are going much much deeper in the details of things.
