@aaronrocs Ah, so now you've finally said something that makes sense from beginning to end; you have now completely redeemed yourself, thank goodness.

And by the way, I'm a Jew and I'm agreeing with you, at least in this context.

[SatchmoSings]

@aaronrocs First of all, you're absolutely correct in that nobody gives a shit about history which is why you pinned the hyper-inflation on the The Depression Era and not where it properly belonged over 10 years earlier

You also still don't "get" that no one was interested in Nazis (nor Communists) during "The Golden 20s" of 1924-29.

It's one thing not to know about history; it's another to still cling to beliefs about it when someone explains to you why and when you're wrong.

@SatchmoSings The inflation also raised doubts about the competence of liberal institutions, especially amongst a middle class who had held cash savings and bonds. It also produced resentment of bankers and speculators, whom the government and the press blamed for the inflation crisis. Many of them were Jews, and some Germans called the hyper-inflated Weimar banknotes Jew Confetti. Hence the Antisemitism

[aaronrocs]

@SatchmoSings Although the inflation ended with the introduction of the Rentenmark and the Weimar Republic continued for a decade afterwards, hyperinflation is widely believed to have contributed to the Nazi takeover of Germany and Adolf Hitler's rise to power. Adolf Hitler himself in his book, Mein Kampf, makes many references to the German debt and the negative consequences that brought about the inevitability of "National Socialism".

@SatchmoSings You're right. My comment about Nazi's coming to power due to the Hyperinflation is oversimple and wrong (yet I still believe it to be a factor), but u don't need 2 b a dick. Most people my age don't even give a fuck about anything that has 2 do with history, and I know more than u think. Like that the Depression caused people to vote for extremists like Hitler.

I'd also point out that...

@aaronrocs Between the terrible inflation of the early 1920s and the terrible unemployment and DEFLATION of The Great Depression, Germany had "The Golden Twenties" where there was both full employment and NO inflation

It was during this time of peace, prosperity and plenty that no one was at all interested in the NSDAP nor even that other radical ideology, Communism.

Your knowledge of history is appalling but not at all untypical, including your denying and fighting with me over it.

[aaronrocs]

@SatchmoSings Yes, inflation in the twenties that made NSDAP and Hitler a hit in the 30's.

@FantomasXZ7 The one thing that Riefenstahl did NOT have in her films was humor or at least irony but in every other way she was totally masterful.

[SatchmoSings]

@aaronrocs You keep saying that there was inflation in the early 1930s and I keep telling you, THE INFLATION WAS IN THE EARLY 1920s and there was FULL EMPLOYMENT at the time, even with people carrying around banknotes in suitcases to merely buy a loaf of bread.

The Great Depression brought DEflation of currency; the Mark (and the dollar, too) bought MORE but no one had any and there was also terrible, terrible unemployment of 25% plus UNDERemployment of the same.

Get it straight!!!
