The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**



Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Here's a copy and paste from the 1933 article:

Rise in Stocks Reflects Confidence He Will Not Disrupt Nation's Affairs

Berlin is settling down to pass judgment on political developments. Politicians, economists and bankers declare there is usually wide discrepancy between the speeches of opposition politicians and the actions of the group when it gains power.

Consequently, it is not believed that Hitler will accomplish a change in the constitution or that [Reich Minister of Economics Alfred] Hugenberg will bring about a general reduction of interest rates. The government wants to obtain an adjournment of the Reichstag for several months, but it is questionable whether the Centre [Party] will approve of such action.

It's not the same! Hitler tried to overthrow the government with Beerhall Coup before! Wait....

Ignore the curbing of your own freedoms! We are stomping on the necks of the people you irrationally fear and that is all that matters! History does not repeat but boy does it rhyme.

Yeah; it was after that article where he got a brain worm and went crazy

[–] [email protected] 41 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Hear that guys? Everything is going ho be fiiiiiine! We're safe in Hitlers hands. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm quite rich. I have a ticket aboard an airship. I'm sure you've never heard of a zepplin. It's like an air balloon, but way cooler. It's called the "Hindenburg"!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 53 minutes ago (1 children)

Unfortunately your fictional rich guy probably survives, since the majority of the Hindenburg's passengers survived.

Well.....silver lining. It was the late 1930s. I doubt he's still alive NOW!!!

Bad news is, nqzis for some reason seem to have made a comeback.

I've been downvoted in the past for saying this, but I truely believe we need to legalize murder. HEAR ME OUT.....

If you're a nazi, and I mean a legit nazi, have swastica tattoos, participate in rallys, ect, I think murder should be 100% legal.

You show up, you have a swastica, BANG! One less nazi.

"Oh, did you hear? Lost_My_Mind is a murderer!"

"What??? That's CRAZY??? What happened???"

"Well, we were at a Wendys, he ordered the chicken nuggets, then he was complaining to himself at how small the nuggets were, and how shrinkflation is real......and then a dude with swastikas on his jacket showed up. Lost_My_Mind grabbed a knife and stabbed him hundreds of times."

"Oh.....well what else was supposed to happen? He did the right thing. Well, except for ordering the nuggets. That's just encouraging companies to KEEP shrinking their products....but the murder is fine. Could have used the blood as a dipping sauce!"

"Ew, no!"

"You're right. That's the line. That went too far. We found the line, and that line is lite canabalism. You can kill nazis, but not eat them."

Ultimately the deregulation they want will lead to people riding giant gas bombs across the ocean. History is just waiting to repeat itself.

God dammit history

I heard Germany had really bad inflation before Hitler. Since we’ve seen so much inflation lately, has anyone considered bringing Hitler back?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

The german book and movie "Er ist wieder da" (He's back) is exactly about that. Just before his death, Hitler is transported through space and time to 2010s Berlin and quickly takes the country by storm again. The kicker: A lot of the scenes are just with real people interacting with the Hitler actor in full costume and the things they say and do is unbelievable. It really shows there's a Hitler in every single one of us and if he really returned, it would likely play out exactly like that. I cannot recommend it enough.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

I agree and will add that the book and the film are distinct in their ways, but both worth trying.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 5 hours ago

Yeah its not gonna be okay

Hey, those assholes are ripping off our present to fill their history!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

As long as they don't take our cathedrals..

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 hours ago

or that [Reich Minister of Economics Alfred] Hugenberg will bring about a general reduction of interest rates

Huh, I wonder how long we've been complaining about interest rates. Maybe there's a clay tablet out there complaining that mortgage rates are too high lol

People will make parallels with Hitler's election and of Trump's, but I never heard anyone say Trump will keep the status quo (i.e. the constitution) to save stocks.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 hours ago

Well here is the CEO of Blackstone saying Donald trump will save the stocks because a vote for him is a vote for change

  • I believe he is saying Donald changing whatever, will be mighty good for the oligarchs he represents.
[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 hours ago

Trump and his crony "justices" wipe their ass with the constitution.
