Off Topic - Donald Trump - Forum

The whole thing of people trying to class Hitler as right or left wing is old, tired, and absurd. He was a staunch nationalist (traditionally a right wing trait), staunchly pro unionist (very left wing by any definition), anti humanitarian (could be either). His political views didn't fit within the left/right wing framework we associate with modern politics, and he was a bit of each depending on which element of his politics you're looking at. Of course the left calls him right wing, the right calls him left wing, and yes, the predominantly left wing controlled media of course calls him right wing (hence media references will generally refer to him as a hard right politician). He was a bit of both. Can't we all just agree he was a nutter and move on?

this hitler's right/left origins thing got me thinking alot in the last days, being under indoctrination from socialist and capitalist states in my life one develops a world view that is pretty independent of ideology and more on facts + science. won't elaborate that topic any further, no worries. i was just interested on a different world view than mine. back on topic, when it comes to trump i trust intelligent people like scott adams, the outlook is rather dark. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

Golden tip for everyone: If you want to know about someone, always read the original source. Honestly, what better source is there to study someone than his own books?

On the plus side, people get so bored to death that they will not even think about white supremacy. It's like those books people are forced to read in High School, so people end hating reading.
