When it has been demonstrated over and over again, how little they think of anyone beneath them.

    Except he didn’t. His plan to ‘rebuild the economy’ was military conquest. He stole enough from ‘undesirable’ German citizens to get the government liquid again, reneged on all the war debts that were keeping the German economy depressed (I’ll give him that much), then kiboshed all the social and economic programs he’d platformed on to go all-in on one titanic military push.

    They simply did not build the infrastructure for a sustained war. And they certainly didn’t build the infrastructure for a functional economy.

      growth is growth. jobs are jobs. you are just arguing/moralizing that military spending is bad/fake or something. that’s cool, but that isn’t how economics works. all it cares about is growth, and Hitler massively grew the economy to the benefit of the average citizen.

      Regan gave a massive boost to the usa economy in the 80s based om military spending and cutting social programs and taxes… is that ‘fake’ too?

        Holy shit hahaha did you really just link me an article that agrees with me? Bro mortgaged 70% of what was left of the German economy to hit Vegas and bet it all on lebensraum, only to discover that invading farmland destroys the farmland. He couldn’t even keep his shit running with slave labor, lmao.

        Never learn how to read, bud. This was precious.

          no dude, you just don’t understand what economics is. apparently the GPD going up 20% in a decade is ‘fake’ in you weird mental world, and governments taking out loans is ‘fake’, despite the fact it’s the underlying financial system of every nation in the world.

            You keep saying I referred to their gains as ‘fake’. You even put it in scare quotes I haven’t said that. I am assuming it is because you have to flatten and pervert the things I’ve actually said in order to respond to them
