This scene is pure genius. None of this people is portrayed as monsters, stupid, or evil, nor they think themselves as such. They actually think they are the heroes, finally standing up for themselves and their country. That's what's frightening about dictatorships: it appeals to the best in people, and we don't often realize the horror behind it until it's too late.

I think its pretty hypocritical to go about labeling Hitler as the epitome of evil, far worse atrocities have been committed. Stalins purge, for instance, killed far more simply due to Stalins own paranoia, and the US government slaughtered some countless amounts of Indian Americans in the name of manifest destiny. Also by looking at your avatar I can assume your interested in Victorian Britain, who themselves had displaced many Boers, South Africans, and Indians for the glory of the crown.

KTCHevalier96 is using a strawman argument. First, KT falsely claims Niniane claimed something that clearly Niniane did not claim and then KT attacks the false claim that KT made up for Niniane and then KT declares KT winner of KT's made up argument.

What did Neil ever do to you?!

[Sam Van Haren]

The Stalin v. Hitler debate is a challenging and worthwhile one, but in terms of pure numbers Hitler had far more people killed. However, Stalin had his own people killed over a million of them.

By the way, Skrewdriver has an awesome version of this.

Neil is a douchebag.

[Neil Wooldridge]

The sheer evil that oozes from that song is frightening. Tomorrow belongs to me, not the Jews, the handicapped, gays etc - just this vile pure bread. I feel cold just listening to it

Very emotional and very scary!

[JBIC1]

Compelling and creepy!

[Paul Gardner]

Excellent comment, you've encapsulated very well just what is so compelling and creepy about this scene.
