Krystallnacht

Krystallnacht was a terrible event where the Nazis used gestapo tactics to take and/or destroy Jewish businesses, wealth, and really anything of beauty that was owned by Jews.

When discussing gestapo events and tactics, this one is often overlooked. Give it a look at wiki and see what you think.

In reply, please let us know what parallels you see in the current RICO-based effort against Trump’s property, businesses, wealth, and things of appeal or beauty.

I for one believe that it’s a remarkable re-boot of exactly what the Nazis did to the Jews. Shocking that these gestapo tactics are used right in our faces, in America, as pure politics.

Oh dear.
Please look up actual facts about the Gestapo.
Has trump been arrested, beaten up, murdered or had his properties set on fire? Because that's what happened on Kristallnacht. It was a pogrom. What's happening to trump is not a pogrom and it's insulting to compare the two situations.

Taking properties, businesses, wealth, landmarks in a coordinated effort …..

In both cases …..

Is not comparable ?

I don’t even know what to say to this.

Are murder and fire required before the two can be compared ?

a reply to: arcticshuffle

And why do you keep referring to insult ?

Can you tell us why you would be insulted by this premise ?

Arrested, yes.

Prosecuted vindictively, yes.

Property threatened, yes.

His supporters have been beaten and murdered.


But do go on applying special qualifiers to make your justification. The Nazis did that as well ...

The loser had a trial and lost and now he has to pay up. Comparing this bozo to what happened in Nazi Germany is comedy gold.

Would it surprise you to know that he did not in fact receive a trial?

Actually, I've been viewing it more like Atlas Shrugged.

In looking into why the Nazi had an issue with the Jew, how the German economy went after WW1 is a big part of it. By the time WW2 kicked off, most Germans where broke, hungry and out of a job. Hitler told the Jew to get stuffed and built his own economy, gave people jobs and they went hard after getting a hard time.

As for any correlations in the USA today, the economic inflation going on is raising warning signs. It ain't in the hyperinflation stage where everything crashes yet, but the pressure is building as the can kicking continues. History books is filled of realities of what happens when an economy breaks. It sucks.

What do you call it? Justice?

Krystallnacht got its name from the all the shattered glass looking like crystals.

To try and compare Trump to the Jews in Nazi Germany is absolutely disgusting.

The US has one of the lowest inflation rates in the world. It is nowhere near hyperinflation levels.

For comparison, the US' current inflation rate is 3.15% and Zimbabwe's (the highest in the world) is 130%. The inflation rate of the Weimar Republic peaked at around 29,000%.

Using regime propaganda was a tactic of the Nazis and communists too.

a reply to: Threadbarer

I have seen a doubling of prices in the last couple of years for some things. Inflation is not as stable as it has been in the past. As for just waking up one day with the banks having another problem?

Kwaka - (quote won’t quote) -

Was the German economy that connected to Jewish finance and business? Seems like it would be a very minor sector. The jealousy and envy I can understand.

What part of my post is propaganda?
