parallels between nazi hatred of jews and progressives hatred of the %1? (WSJ letter)

[brianmanahan]

mr perkins poses an interesting observation in the wall street journal:

much like how nazi germany demonized the jews in word and print, so too are rich people demonized today in america. and you dont really even have to be super-rich - if you are doing better than average, somebody hates you for it and wants to tear you down.

They know what's coming.

They brought this on themselves.

This has the potential to be an interesting thread. I'm sure the usual suspects will completely discount any parallels between the actions they cheer for and that of pre WWII Germany. After all, they've been taught that the Nazi movement was right wing.

The problem lies in the progression of a movement. It does not happen all at once but over time and always is justified in the eyes of the believers through one form or another. Our government is systematically going after its 'enemies' through various means. It's all seen as righteous and just by people who can't or won't comprehend a bigger picture. Those of us that sound the occasional alarm are discounted.

Three more years of Obama and we will see where we end up. When the government uses its power to go after those that are mucking up the works, that should sound an alarm in the heads of many. It is, but they are outnumbered. A movement is afoot. History is unfolding right before us. Through either passive or aggressive behavior, we will choose our path.

Have you missed all the posts from people in here openly declaring war on the rich and calling for revolutions to overthrow them and the corporations they own?

Evil b*****s, how dare they make money.....

No, it was never going to me more than we who have opened a history book laughing at the conservatards who haven't.

Well, he does actually make a point.

bshole was quoted just a few days ago in a thread as wanting to "murder [these rich] motherfuckers and and burn down/steal their mansions"

That's...pretty disgusting from any angle.

You have bshole and you have Dave, that's it. That's like saying that saying if conservatives get control they're going to completely eliminate all regulations and 99% of the government because that's what Anarchist420 and Incorruptible want.

PS. If all that doesn't work, kill the rich and pillage their motherfucking estates.

That one's all well and good for people who know why the original comparison is ridiculous, but since it's lacking that step it's going to go over the heads of most conservatards.

Big ol LOL to people equating alter ego message board accounts to real life. The boogyman army of the people who's views you hate are coming to get you lol

So, we are not to take you seriously either. No problem.

That's actually fairly consistent with what I've observed. The course of my work over the last few years has brought me into contact with a lot of wealthy people and there is really a fear that they're going to somehow lose it to Obama...no matter how totally irrational that fear actually is. The 1% and above are indeed isolated and some grow paranoid in that isolation so they end up writing crazy out of touch stuff like this.

What a shame. We were so close too. I thought there was someone else here who understood that this is all bullshit. That nothing here is real, that none of it is to be taken seriously, that none of it matters, that nothing will be changed by the words at P&N.

But you dashed my hopes because you do take it seriously. Your loss. This place can be a great source of fun and enjoyment if one can just understand that it means absolutely nothing.

I think you're an unwed mother of three living in Guatemala. Did I get close? I ask because I have no clue about you and I never truly will. Get it?
