The past is never truly past.
History offers not just instruction but stark warnings for those willing to heed them.
The Weimar Republic, a fractured, democratic nation beset by internal strife, serves as one such lesson. The tactics used by its political radicals—particularly those of the Nazi Party—did not begin with violence but with rhetoric.
- They did not initially seize power through physical force; instead, they created a public consensus through words.
- Words that dehumanized.
- Words that painted entire groups as threats to society itself.
- Words that, in their incessant repetition, made violence seem not just possible but necessary.
A strikingly similar pattern is emerging in the contemporary United States...
