I'm just reading this book A village in the Third Reich. It's non-fiction and based on life in a small south German village in the years leading up to ww2. Apparently they have a large amount of papers, documents, personal accounts available. Village is Oberstdorf.
I'm about 1/3rd through.
Shows how the propaganda machine began to work on the villagers.

That one's a good read. Also how it didn't work some of the time.

Ah but Peter, you continually call the Tories left wing, and when they asked you to wear a mask you called them authoritarian tyrants, so even in your own idiotic bobblehead dictionary you can call the government Nazis.

Why does he have a no children sign as his av?

I support keeping children away from anything he says or does, but I assume it's for reasons he thinks are very clever.

I will agree with him that Daylight Savings is bad - there is at least some evidence that it increases the risk of heart attacks due to loving with our circadian rhythms https://openheart.bmj.com/content/1/1/e000019

I'll admit that I probably hate daylight savings for more prosaic reasons like 'the loving oven clock' and 'that one analog clock that you forget to change until June' (and also yes losing an hour of sleep messes with you) whereas he's probably got some 2000 word rant about the ecumenical Council of Trent that only touches on reality by accident, but I agree with him on that one specific.

''A Different Bias'' on YT mentioned that the Tories will be happy with this outcome as any form of aggro against the BBC hastens the day when it gets broken up.

I'm still not getting a tv licence though, stopped watching all tv years ago.

I'm not so sure that's the aim, the BBC is a great way for Government to control the narrative when it's pretending to be neutral.

absolute lol that a woman in the 60s designed a streamlined sign because being able to tell what a sign is about instantly is very important when you're travelling faster than the fastest human has ever sprinted in a metal box powered by distilled fractions of a rock oil brought from deep under the earth by drill, but no it's "~~new~~ 55 year old sign look different to 60 year old sign" that is evidence of a 'transhuman agenda'.

The weather in this United Kingdom is poo poo
And we're approaching fascism quickly,
Our politicans don't care one bit
Because this is an awful country

A chance to change course has come way to late,
People can barely afford to even eat
We're all in a very bad state
Because this is an awful country

Labour Sound just like the tories
And the Conservatives copy the BNP
There is no leftist alternative left,
Because this is an awful country

Oh Gary Linekar please show us a sign
Of our descent into national obscurity
Things only ever get worse as it declines
Because this is an awful country

"National Socialism was egalitarian"

gently caress me.

I'm not clicking that poo poo but :10bux:

says he brings up the concept of 'V�lkisch equality' at absolute face value without comprehending that it was an explicitly anti-egalitarian concept.

And of course will never draw any lines between "universal human rights derided and replaced with rights specifically for nationals" and anything else.

It boggles the mind that in the eyes of a lot of melts he’s widely seen as one of this country’s foremost public intellectuals. What a damning indictment of our cultural sphere

There's a 100% overlap of the kinds of melts that demanded Trump resign in shame for mocking that disabled reporter, but when Baddiel did it (multiple times) in his shows that was a long time ago and besides its different because we like him.

It's amazing to see people still going with "actually the Nazis were National Socialists". Do they realise you can call your political party almost anything you like? You can even lie about what you stand for! Big brain political thinkers falling for original Nazi propaganda almost a century later, incredible stuff.
