How did Hitler rise to power? - Alex Gendler and Anthony Hazard

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/how-did-hit...
Decades after the fall of the Third Reich, it feels impossible to understand how Adolf Hitler, the tyrant who orchestrated one of the largest genocides in human history, could ever have risen to power in a democratic country. So how did it happen, and could it happen again? Alex Gendler and Anthony Hazard dive into the history and circumstances that allowed Hitler to become Führer of Germany.
Lesson by Alex Gendler and Anthony Hazard, animation by Uncle Ginger.

This is a good summary, however the role of France and England in forcing war reparations upon Germany - as if Germany were solely responsible for WWI - and redistributing German colonies amongst themselves, should not be ignored. In contrast, the US President Wilson behaved far more responsibly, refusing to take over German colonies.

[@TheBueschel]

not quite... "Sturmabteilung" translates to "Stormdivision or Stormsection". "Sturmtruppen" (the literal translation of Stormtroopers) were actual German units that fought during WW1. They were elite units specifically trained to storm enemy fortifications...hence the name...They were used to great effect on the eastern Front (especially by Generalfeldmarschall August von Mackensen - the famous "Last Hussar") they weren't as effective on the western Front, although Erwin Rommel did break through the French lines at Chemin des Dames with the use of Stormtroopers units and his Royal Württemberg Mountaineer ("Königlich Württembergisches Gebirgskorp") troops... although he eventually had to fall back because his supply lines were in danger, as the rest of the imperial army hadn't been able to keep up...

[@wolfplayer7815]

I think he got it from The Roman Empire because the Romans were at war and they gave Caesar emergency powers. There were some other connections but I forgot. The Imperial Army was based of the Nazis but the rise of power I believe is connection with Rome.

Shan Oakley Is it because I used the word "globalist"?

And their ideology is mad and dangerous. It goes counter to human nature. Their staunch refusal to accept the truth and stubborn insistence on their ideologies will only serve to plunge the world into chaos, and in the case of Europe also irreversibly destroy our very identity and people by importing foreign elements who share none of our values but want all the fruits of our civilisation. This is the political ideology that pervades, indeed poisons the political elite in the world today; it is the world view that Hillary and her kind support; it is the world view that thinks the only antidote to racism is to destroy all manifestation of different races of human beings by no more subtle tool than total miscegenation and the negation of over 2000 years of magnificent history.

Also, how can you argue that Bernie is a fascist when he wants nothing to do with the military? Bernie is not the guy who suggested to bring back water boarding, nor propose to torture and kill civilians associated with terrorists, nor suggest carpet bomb to raze entire cities, nor ban Muslims nor suggest to INTERN them. Bernie is a peace loving tree hugger, arrested in his younger days for a rally he genuinely support. Do you even know what fascism is?

[@TrapGod_JackofAllTrades]

Sadly, it is an inherent flaw of Democracy. If the people are blinded by fear, anger, and/or hate, they make irrational decisions based on revenge. Humanity, learn not to hate, but to forgive. Revenge after revenger, the blood shed will never end, unless if one side decides to forgive, or if one side was to die. But the surviving side will not be held as heros, but tyrants, and the world will turn against them. Thus adding more blood shed. Our humanity is cursed, because we love. Because we love, we hate. We divide amongst ourselves as enemies and allies. Them and us. Humans are powerful creatures, but fragile in heart. Ignorant in mind, but wise in spirit. A society that fights among themselves is destined to fall. Unless it learns to love and forgive itself.

[@kerfufflecookies8316]

[@jorgee2320]

This is what it takes for people to hold irrational beliefs that can potentially end up as totalitarian dictatorships (as shown by history) 1. Fear based on bigotry through biased POVs, with no scientific or objective facts, especially about a minority to be seen as a thread against a majority who blame everything on them as a way to find one only guilty for their complex social problems. 2. Beliefs in conspiracy theories with no real basis, such as people who believe there's an elite, or an agenda, splitting history of facts into sided opinions, to satify their information bias, unable to see things objectively due to their mental slant, ironically labeling every other's opinion as 'biased' for the same reason even if they offer them irrefutable facts. It's called the "backfired effect", and it's a cognitive bias. People won't accept they're wrong even if you show them proofs. 3. A lack of sense of control when a situation seems to be critical or there must be a big change. 4. Demagogy of a leader who tells people what they want to hear by promising everything will be better and saying that he/she will put THEM first instead of the "thread", offering people a sense of control and making them think that he/she really cares about them, even if their promises are unrealistic.

Human emotion is the primary problem. We need people to be rational. Not emotional. This is the best way to ensure peace.

[@GenerationX1984]

Additionally, irrational stereotypes and hasty generalizations must be prohibited in order to crack down on scapegoating entire groups (such as the Jews). Hitler proved human beings are sheep with a herd mentality who lack the rational thinking required to distinguish between stereotypes and reality. Nazism was a political cult. North Korea is a political cult. What can we do to change the way ordinary people think in order to destroy all cults and all forms of group thinking? The human brain is so flawed in the way people fall for logical fallacies that it should be rewired.

[@Alnivol666]

"they just agree that his way is awfully similar to something we all remember." - than that is their problem. And I have no idea who actually remembers anything from those times. Most people comparing him to Hitler were not alive during WW2. History rarely repeats itself even though in unclear moments such as these certain groups come out to warn us about history repeating itself. It is really easy to make a posteriori claims once the dust has settled and make it seem how clear it all was. During the events, things are seldom as clear as some make them out to be after the events.
