I really liked her and I thought it was a huge overreaction on Ace’s part.

Does anybody know how to contact her? I think she would be an excellent fit here.

welcome to the administrative state hyped up on the cloud (9?) – their solution to the problem of wealth keeping, how to stop others from rising who can do something better.

If true, then it would seem to be one of those archaic, outdated laws that has outlived its usefulness.

The Nazis bought some early IBM data processors to process the data and that became the start of their national dossiers.

Since the Gestapo liked to appear “all knowing”, using the detailed family histories, they were able to bluff their interrogation subject into revealing even more information.

Generally applies to all politicians…

In East Germany, I believe they just changed their uniforms.

I’m sure you meant it tongue in cheek, but it is still an interesting comment. Perhaps this quote is correct, but if it is, that means that racists have a point when they attribute distinctive personality traits to certain racial groups. The Germans have a totalitarian gene, the Jews have a ________(insert whatever you wish) gene, the blacks have a ______ gene, etc. The Nazis demonstrated how easily this type of argument can lead to genocide, but that does not mean the argument itself is wrong.

The Nazis took Darwin’s Theory of Evolution and the “survival of the fittest” and ran with it. They thought that different races were supposed to fight each other and exterminate each other. Darwin voiced a similar idea in his book The Descent of Man. What they all failed to consider about evolution is that a species which has maximum genetic diversity is usually more hardy than a species which has fewer alleles for the environment to choose from. If they were interested in maximizing the survival of the Aryan genes they should have welcomed the mixture with Jewish blood to enrich their own Aryan blood. While they were at it, they should have remembered the Jewish/Christian God who taught us to love one another rather than worshipping their violent ancestral pagan Gods.

So, can we say they are just like the Nazis without invoking Godwin’s law?”

No, they are not Nazis, although they have fascist desires. I see them as wicked children with dreams of dominion over all. The weak link in the chain of their desire to coerce all into obedient slaves on the DC plantation is the fact that a minority (3-10%?) will not go peacefully into that nightmare.
