This subreddit is for sharing propaganda to view with objectivity. It is absolutely not for perpetuating the message of the propaganda. Here we should be conscientious and wary of manipulation/distortion/oversimplification (which the above likely has), not duped by it. "Don't be a sucker."

Stay on topic -- there are hundreds of other subreddits that are expressly dedicated to rehashing tired political arguments. No partisan bickering. No soapboxing. Take a chill pill. "Don't argue."

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

In case you didnt know:

Hugenberg had around half of the german press at "the time"

But even until 1943, press organisations were taken over by the party.

So the Picture shows the years before ~1934

In hindside it looks so naive. I am German and heard that all the time in school, that the biggest mistake was to understimate the Nazis. And now look at us, 93 years later we do the same shit again 😪

Denken ist (noch) nicht verboten... 🙄 Einfach mal Hirn anschalten und nicht rechts wählen, bringt nämlich nix.

Turns out that helping someone attain absolute power while hoping that said dictator doesn't expropriate you nor promote ruinous policies is a fool's errand.

Same with these Russian oligarchs who thought that they could work with Putin.

The only reason someone ever wants absolute power is to use it.

They will not stop at the people you agree should be abused. They'll come for you. This applies to all values of "you".
