I think this is a very short-sighted, surface level take that shows of a very naive understanding of how societies become more totalitarian.

I laughed, my dude.

Which is precisely what the other person is asking you to stop doing. I agree with them.

No dude, please don’t spread the neo-nazi’s myths for them.

Your comment reeks of “they were snobby elites and are therefore partially at fault for their own persecution.”

Even if I accepted the first statement as true, your insinuation that jews in Weimar believed themselves to be of a superior class after they have already been the subject of discrimination for centuries is ridiculous. On top of that, your final statement that this is “the main reason” for the rise in antisemitism in the third reich is frankly disgusting.

You might believe that the following facts are besides your point, but I still want to get this straight:

• Hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic reached its peak in 1923
• the NSDAP (the nazi party) got only 2% of the vote in the 1928 elections
• Hitler rose to power in 1933, after getting over 40% of the vote.

Note that there were 4 national elections between 1930 and 1933. The Weimar Republic was about as stable politically as a house of cards on a trampoline.

It’s still true that part of the success of Hitler’s party was due to former non-voters losing fate in the established parties, especially in regards to economic policy, but it is not as direct of a connection as your comment makes it out to be.

Bit too specific there, buddy.

I’m whole-heartedly impressed with what you are presenting here. I wish I’d seen your booth at gamescom, since I am sincerely excited by the non-predatory design philosophy you’re describing in your blog posty on your website.

I have already set up an account and written an application. Hopefully I’ll have the chance to try this out. :)

Have you read the article before posting it? You should be ashamed of yourself.
