    In Germany we have idiots who claim because it is called national socialism that of course Hitler was communist, because of socialism…

      Not just in Germany, I cut off a family member a decade ago for holding strong to that stance.

      What was that poem?

      “And first they came for the communists, Because they too must have been communists, And then they came for the socialists, Because they too must have been socialists…”

      Oh wait that’s not how the statement went.

      People just cannot, or will not recognize the cognitive dissonance, and that’s cool with them I guess.
