Bravo, Good Citizen, for another triumph!

I felt like I was reading many of my own thoughts. As you know, I frequently rail against colluders (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-colluder-stop-enabling), Covidians (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-covidian-a-time-travel), tyrants (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-tyrant), and propagandists (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/a-primer-for-the-propagandized), often citing similar concerns and arguments as you outlined here.

The only statement I would question is, “The similarities between then [WWII-era Germany] and now are significantly underwhelming.”

If you simply mean what you clarify in the following statement, “The unification for their ‘psychosis’ was national and ethnic in foundation and economic, geopolitical and psychological in origin” along with the specific historical circumstances, I would agree.

Otherwise, however, the parallels between the sociocultural pressures and political acceleration of totalitarianism during 1930s Germany and today are jaw-droppingly striking. I frequently reference Milton Mayer’s “They Thought They Were Free,” Sebastian Haffner’s “Defying Hitler,” and Christopher Browning’s “Ordinary Men” because these capture that period in harrowingly crisp detail, drawing from primary source materials (interviews, court transcripts, memoirs, etc.) of the time to paint a portrait that looks and feels precisely like what we’re experiencing today.

Agreed. There are many glaring parallels. There are also differences that have been ignored in the rush to make the comparisons. The globally-coordinated supranational nature of what we're seeing today is a historical first, unless I missed a history class. We're living through something truly unique that hasn't yet been sufficiently explained because we're all still trying to wrap our heads around it...on the fly with the best information we can get, which is often incomplete.

I’m with you 100% as that is the precise distinction I have been making as well to emphasize the historically unprecedented global nature of this coordinated campaign.

As I open “Letter to an Agree-to-Disagree Relative” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-an-agree-to-disagree-relative):

“Imagine the Holocaust is happening again. Only this time, it’s on a planetary scale. And there aren’t any Allies coming to the rescue—because they’re just as guilty as the Axis.”

That's well stated. There are no "sides" in the traditional national dispute sense. The holocaust is both the jabbed and what they may do with the control group who refuse them if things continue as they are.

Holocaust is a hoax just like the rona. You are still falling for their lies.

Yes. I hope the Trump camp try to imagine where the entire world would be had he been successful in overturning the election. We have the most freedoms of any country and had we fallen the entire world could by now have been captured.

The NWO had hoped the US would be first to fall... The rest would be easier!

Trump could have been our last President!

Thanks. I was going for nice.

Note that this global nature is just an artifact of the unified global communications toolset represented by the Internet and used so effectively by the mass media. The only reason we’ve not seen such global tyrannical efforts before is that they weren’t possible, since media organs and power were concentrated in nation-states, not distributed across the planet by the abstraction layer of the Internet. Therefore, any difference perceived is merely one of quantity. Tyrants will always grab *what they can*.

Indeed. If you think that’s scary, wait till the metaverse becomes the status quo:
