Sound familiar?

This article recalls interviews with 10 German men in a German town shortly after the war.

Just to add to this, this is the full version of "Don't be a Sucker" - an anti-Nazi US public information film.

In the middle is this bit:

"But the man who was really being fooled was Hans. ... To him they promised everything, and he fell for it"

I'd also recommend watching "Rise of the Nazis"

There are plenty of documentaries about WW2 but not many about how Hitler came to power. There are a lot of parallels.

Also worth a read is this often quoted list of the 14 characteristics of fascism.

This is the original article from 2003.

See how many you can spot.

@doctor_oxford @BorisJohnson I'm not a psychologist but its pretty obvious that Johnson is a pathological liar

Here's a thread of his lies

1/x
@doctor_oxford @BorisJohnson Some say "pathological liar" isn't the correct term

But pathological lying is a trait of a psychopath according to Hare's Psychopathy Checklist

2/x
@doctor_oxford @BorisJohnson There's also that "smirk"

Otherwise known as "Dupers Delight" or "Duping Delight" - a classic tell tale of a psychopath, they are either lying or about to lie

Defined by Dr Paul Ekman, one of the worlds leading authorities on micro expressions

Sounds familiar

"Severely mentally and physically disabled people, as well as those perceived to have disabilities, were targeted because of Nazi beliefs that disabled people were a burden both to society and to the state"

Inbound tourism from the EU is already down because of a passport requirements

What shall we do to resolve this?

"MAKE THEM PAY!!!"

#BrexitReality
I've travelled quite a bit, and paying fees to enter a country hasn't put me off because I've wanted to go there. But its usually a one off, and far away.

Charging our neighbours, when we are already losing tourists because of Brexit, is nuts. It will reduce tourism from the EU.
And for the "THEY'VE ALWAYS NEEDED A PASSPORT!" crowd

Pre-Brexit, EU/EEA citizens could use a National ID to visit the UK

Post-Brexit, EU/EEA citizens now need a passport

The British have always needed a passport because we don't have a National ID
