In uncertain times fascism flourishes, in the 1930's the trigger was the 1929 Wall Street crash that brought the fascists to power. Before 1929 the nazi party only got 2.3% of the votes. After blue monday thay got 37%. People became uncertain about the future, the nazi's cultivates their fears, identify scapegoats (minorities offcourse) and present themselves as the only ones who can fix all their problems. It is also no coincidence that LGBTQ and "woke" is being demonized now. Exactly the same thing happened 90 years ago. First we had the roaring twenties with free expression especially in Berlin... and then the Nazis came. Exactly the same thing happens now. Replace Blue Monday with the Covid crisis and the war in Ukraine and you create the perfect breeding ground for extremists. The only difference is that Goebels had to use the radio and the podium, nowadays fascists can spread hate propaganda at light speed via social media and spreading conspiracies en lies was easier than ever before. Truth doesn't even matter anymore. We live in the post-truth era that someone like Tymothy Snyder already warned us about in early 2017. Anyway, as a European I know when German fascism gain popularity it is time to arm yourself once again and that's exactly what I and my family did almost a year ago.
