So, if we just focus on the economic/social policies, and forget about the wars and the police state and the holocaust, what lessons could we learn from Hitler.

He invented the dab
 
This is a thread about flags.

This is a very colourful flag

Modern right wing populists like Farage and Trump share plenty of features with fascism.

1) appeals to a unified people against perceived elites

2) use democratic ideals to legitimise non democratic leadership

3) thrives on discontent

4) demonise opponents

5) rejection of liberal democracy

6) offering simplified solutions to complex problems

7) fuelling societal divisions

8) nationalism disguised as patriotism

9) hatred of foreigners disguised as patriotism


The Reform party supporters on here fall for all these techniques
 
I live in a fairly none reactive area, up until this week, even in the wider area of three villages, I've only seen two flags, and flags which have been there for many years, in peoples gardens. This week, today in fact, there are no less than three Union Flags being flown, two on newly installed brackets, one simply hung being trapped by a window.

I ordered a 5 foot union flag earlier in the week, due for delivery in the coming week. That will be installed on a pole at the back of my garden, ensuring maximum visibility for the thousands passing on the main east/west line, beyond the bottom of my back garden. When I ordered, I was expecting to be the only one in the street flying a flag.

I can almost hear the flag shaggers weeping over the sudden faux patriotism.
