The article that Foxy provided is interesting- but perhaps not in the way she'd desire- the title and premise of the article implies that those that use similar political tactics are the same as the "Cliche Hitler Demon"- while I'm pretty certain this isn't true. I'm sure that many political organizations use similar tactics- in fact the Communists seem to be experts- the study of which the person of Hitler probably came up with the original idea. Whilst on the topic of anniversaries of politicians and regimes the Centennial Anniversary of the Russian Communist Revolution and the following Communist deaths that resulted in 100 Million people has recently passed- Communists everywhere perhaps pleased with their accomplishments. Democracy isn't perfect and many monarchies are relatively peaceful and nurture society. Often combining elements of monarchy and Locke Liberal Representative Democracy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Sweden Communism isn't democratic nor trial by social media feature of current socialistic woke politically correct trends that undermine society and governing. Given Foxy's mention- what specifically did Hitler do badly (many have an opinion on this) in contrast to other regimes recently and historically. A lot has been said about "the actions" of Hitler against for example the Jewish diaspora- some comparison has been made with the actions of the Jewish diaspora in Judea and elsewhere in recent and modern times. The Samurai Culture of Japan singled out as cruel but it seems to be self consistent. It came to an end between 1854 and 1890. It's been said that samurai killed their families before battle to prevent enemy torture- overtones Masada overrun by Romans- but different cultures proceed at different rates Posted by Canem Malum, Saturday, 31 July 2021 1:30:52 PM

Maybe the Han Chinese should be held responsible for the mass civilian slaughter of the warring states period.
In one thousand years these events seen with different eyes- if we learn the lessons- all have lessons- maybe we'll still be here. Economic warfare perhaps the most effective. History is cultural conflict. It seems to be valid to use physical violence as a last resort to our differences. It seems to me- anti-racists believe that social engineering the ethnicity and phenotypes of a nation is valid- this seems to be racist in it's own way- and they believe that this principle should be executed dictatorially on a global scale. This is called by some as a "browning" or "evening out" of the people of the world so that everyone is the same- they perhaps argue that this will prevent wars and conflict- they argue for the destruction of national and ethnic culture- tabula rasa (blank slate theory). The people that promote this think they know more than the sum knowledge of written history- they're wrong. Blank Slate Theorists- (usually Communists) are more bigoted than everyone- they want to destroy everyone's culture except theirs- often in the name of Intersectionism but really in the name of destruction power and death (as the Russian born Ayn Rand said). It concerns me that some people should be persecuted because of what they think rather than what they do. Every culture needs their own nation.

Today there are so many different cultures
within each nation for a variety of reasons. Take Australia as an example - it has over 300 different ethnic groups, 100 religions in its cultural melting pot. Then just in the city of London in the UK there's 270 different nationals and 300 languages. As individuals there's much we can learn from each other's culture. For example if we open ourselves to humbly learning about a different world view we can grow in our understanding of ourselves and be enriched by another way of thinking about the world.

Foxy seems to support "selective breeding" in Western nations. Ironic in a different context that the west were the ones to fight it in Germany and elsewhere. As she's said she wants to melt "in the melting pot" the British Australian's and the British themselves from the world. Get her before she gets you I suppose.
Perhaps Britain and Australia and the US should have stayed home during the world wars and conserved their power and locked their doors when the walking wounded came around. Stupid us. No good deed goes unpunished. Things will be worse when they breed us out. Posted by Canem Malum, Saturday, 31 July 2021 5:01:13 PM

While the British and American influences have
played a major role in defining the shape of Australia that we know today a number of other influences have contributed to the development of the Australian identity. As migrants arrived in Australia over the decades they introduced new stories, traditions and perspectives to Australian culture. The traditional concepts of an Australia as a white British colony, or a land of struggling bush-dwellers, no longer seemed to fit with the diverse new reality of society. As Indigenous people were finally acknowledged as the original owners of the land, the role of Indigenous values in the construction of a true Australian identity had become apparent. As such, the Indigenous and migrant influence has intervened in the American and British effect on Australian culture. As Australian society adapted to changing cultural influences across the dacades, whether they be British, American, Indigenous, Asian or European, the national identity continually evolved in response. In the face of globalisation, however the future of Australia's unique national identity was increasingly challenged by the development of a global culture. Of course over time migrants tend to disperse into the wider Australian community, leaving their unique cultural influence behind, examples include the Germans in the Barossa Valley of South Australia, Vietnamese in Cabramatta and Springvale (Melbourne) and the Middle- Eastern influence in Auburn (Iraquis and Lebanese). The cultural richness covers the wide variety of food, leisure pursuits, arts, visual aspects like streetscapes, and cultural traditions. Who the heck wants to go back to watery roasts, bangers and mash, and the primitiveness and cultural backwater that Australia once was. Posted by Foxy, Saturday, 31 July 2021 7:02:18 PM

the majority of Victorians support him and how
unbalanced the Murdoch Press really is. News Corp is
slammed for unbalanced reporting on the Victorian Premier:

Voters need to be informed and engaged and steer clear from
political groups that are not committed to democratic
processes or have racially motivated agendas.
Politicians sharing power in their own party, or in other parties,
is dangerous. Politicians of the center right and center left may
see each other as historical opponents but they should be allied
in fighting extremists on either side.
In our troubled times and the rising of political extremism
around the world we can learn from how Hitler rose to power.
That period holds important lessons on the rise of Nazism in
Germany and how similar excesses can be prevented in the
future.
