you can go listen to Ross's mom talk on Friday about how arresting her son violated the Constitution!


i am especially interested in that last point they listed - 'why you should care'

yes, i'll gladly learn why prosecuting somebody who constructed and oversaw an internaitonal drug trade network is a reason for concern

I knew they controlled the media, I didn't know they gave a crap about modern art. Now that it has been pointed out to me, it's obvious that modern art was yet another way that Jews were trying to destroy the Reich :rolleyes:

I mean seriously WTF were you thinking, German people who went along with this poo poo, including my relatives?
it was also not consistent: hitler banned expressionist architecture and art as degenerative but accepted expressionist cinema and dance that carried the exact same concepts but in a different medium

it was all loving stupid and basically about what hitler personally liked and it made no ideaological sense whatsoever. there was no way that people who knew a thing or two about culture didn't see through it but it was easy enough to present to clueless masses

you're probably not looking for a serious answer but Paxton's list of fascist "mobilizing passions" is useful for understanding what lines of thought led to people supporting the nazis, as well as Griffin's definition of "palingenetic ultranationalism". Eco's "Ur-Fascism" is also an interesting read but is less scholarly and more biting
i'll add Hannah Arendt's The Origins of Totalitarianism which is really robust in explaining the phenomenon and more importantly how it can happen again in completely different countries/circumstances

my main thing w/r/t Naziism's rise in Germany is that in all the film I've seen of Hitler giving those speeches he's so famous for he looks like a blubbering lunatic. something's gotta be lost in translation because I can't imagine anyone who looks like that getting on TV, behaving like that, and having anyone support him.


loving Howard Dean lost the nomination in 2004 because he went "YEAH!"
on the other hand there are apparently more than zero people who read about bitcoin, see the weirdos talking about it and think 'wow, this is genius, i'm going to put my life savings into this'

but irl his parents own five four houses and are rich shitbirds, so they were probably always like that and the direct cause of his lovely ideology and downfall
shortly before the bust the atmosphere in the room where they ran silkroad must have been similar to that in hitler's bunker in berlin in april 1945

I'm not reading that bullshit but how does she account for the fact that he kept a diary that had a record of transactions and it can be matched up exactly to the transactions sent to/from wallets he admitted to owning and having the private key for
