Not sure where you’re going with this SheThinksLiberty?

Only commenting on the reference to Weimar made by Celayne Jones made in reference to the Roman Empire. Both the latter and the former "imploded" from within. One of a republic's or a nation's or a city's sure signs of demise is the normalization of sexual pervasion. This ran rife through Berlin during Weimar, wrecking the city and making it almost completely unsafe.

I have heard from others who know far more than I on the topic of Germany that one of the first things you-know-who did was to take a "flamethrower" (channeling Al Pacino in "Scent of a Woman") to Berlin. He ordered the burning of all the garbage "books" and the cleaning up of all the prostitution, etc.

There was plenty of great art they got rid of. They didn't like certain styles, regardless of the subject matter, and called it "degenerate." Just like Mao demanded only Socialist Realism. You can't compare drag shows for kids to beloved modern art.

So are you saying the Nazis did some good things?

Only drawing parallels based on a comment I found interesting -- one that mentioned Weimar Germany and its internal implosion. I also found it noteworthy that someone would have the courage to mention Weimar. I added that other information as a point of interest only, especially in light of our current conditions.

I’m sure we could find good things about even the most horrible evildoers 🤷‍♀️ Doesn’t balance out the rest of what they did.
