It gets very frustrating trying to draw parallels with that time given how obvious it seems to me. Current state dictator is even now introducing permanent pandemic legislation by using 3 very low voter count 'independents" to get his legislation through.

This is the guy that had his police force to use rubber bullets on peaceful protesters and pepper sprayed children and grandmas. A police force that has run out of funds despite being funded to the tune of $2B per year for the last 2 years while we were all locked down. A police force that wanted to arrest, interview + fingerprint dodgy politicians for rorting the system and were told to stand down by higher ups. A police force that did not breathalyse his wife when she hit a cyclist while driving. A police force that then denied FOI access to the arrest documents as it was "not in the public interest".

People who are 30 years old get so offended and demand you stop making the comparison, so thank you for sharing this.

I am sharing it on twitter now.

Thanks for writing this chilling account of Austria and the rise of the NSDAP. The personal touch makes the story all the more compelling. I’ve read a lot about these events and what is happening today is incredibly alarming. Perhaps the 5th circuit ruling can turn the tide of this madness. We have so far to go to find our way out.

Well TamiCam, that was a nice example of the tactic of 'Truncating the Antecedent'.
