Krystallnacht

a reply to: arcticshuffle

Was the German economy that connected to Jewish finance and business?

Germany lost WW1. As a result Germany lot control of its economy. With those that took it over, strong Jewish sector wanted to destroy Germany with their economic policy. They done a good job at it with sustained money printing and hyper inflation.

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%.

and that's wonderful. But for those who live in the USA, and not in Zimbabwe, we feel the increase in prices, and the inflation rate right here. Telling us how much worse it is in other places doesn't change what's here right now. It's called reality, look into it.

Dictators and Nazis threw their political opponents in prison. It's what they do/did. So just saying someone was convicted of a crime isn't much of an argument in modern America.

But I'm prolly just talking to myself considering my last post said the same thing and was deleted.

3% inflation?

No serious person would parrot that BS.

What do you think our inflation rate is?

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.

The German economy after World War One was all over the place. The hyperinflation was linked to the Franco-Belgian occupation of the Ruhr valley due to issues with the payment of reparations and the Weimer economy was largely built on large loans from the USA, which vanished when the Great Depression hit.
It's a myth that Hitler rebuilt the German economy. The recovery from the Great Depression was largely due to a German Finance Minister called Hjalmar Schacht, who created something called Mefo Bills to pay Germany's way out of depression. (Look it up, it's fascinating tale.) The problem was that those bills (which were bonds really) had redemption dates and there wasn't enough money to pay for them towards the end of the 1930's, plus Hitler was spending the money on rearming the German Army and not doing much else with it, creating a badly out of balance economy. The only reason why Germany wasn't bankrupt in 1939 was because Hitler stole the gold reserves of Austria and Czechoslovakia. (Schacht resigned in 1938 I think.)
Hitler's obsession with the Jews is a long story. It was built on centuries of European anti-Semitism, followed by the impact of the end of the First World War, which German nationalists blamed on the Jews and not on the fact that the German Army was beaten - it was in full retreat and the German Government was forced to face the fact that they had lost the war.
I very much doubt that the current USA is in any way like pre-WW2 Germany.

None of that is true. The hyperinflation was directly because of the Franco-Belgian occupation of the Ruhr.

To compare Trumps 'woes' to Krystallnacht is just beyond belief?
The Jewish people were attacked, beaten, women raped, business and Synagogues set on fire. Nearly 100 Jews were murdered during the violence, and approximately 30,000 were arrested and sent to concentration camps, all in one night.
I think you need to get over yourself and stop seeing Trump as some sort of martyr, he's just another rich idiot who thinks the law shouldn't apply to him.

Don't forget the Brownshirt Beer Hall planning tactics either. 😃

Who really caused the Weimer Hyperinflation? 😃

yeahbut today's inflation for the last 3 years sure has put millions in a predicament with no way to recover the losses. All while the power Democrats keep lying about it. 🤤

Interesting analogy, likening Democrats to NAZIs.

Not only do Democrats hate Trump...it's becoming clear they also hate Jews and Israel.

So, your comparison holds water.

Can you prove it was planned and scripted? 👁‍🗨

The Floyd Chain Riots that lasted a year are comparable. ☠️💥

No. They really aren't. Krystallnacht resulted in tens of thousands of people being sent to concentration camps.

Ahh yes. The reputable source that is ShadowStats who base their gains graphs off... things.

This should, for many of us, help explain how so many Germans became complicit in the nazi crimes. My own family is so smug in their contempt of Trump and his followers that they have convinced themselves that I am defective.

I was comparing the seizure of property, money, landmarks, etc. and the coordinated misuse of govt levels and resources against targeted people.

This absolutely happened in both cases.

Hence, comparison.

This little tactic of inventing fake reasons to be “insulted” and “disgusted” is just not useful at all.

Yeah, we totally meant that Trump has been beaten and burned and hung and taken to the gas chambers.
Some folks really need to work on this communication thing.
