    OP, please tell me that someone in the comment section pointed out that the liberals fucking won that election and it was them appointing Hitler to the Chancellorship that produced that outcome. I'm not looking at that cesspit comment section, I just want to not be nagged by my compulsion to argue over this sort of thing.

    God, this might be my least favorite lie, that Hitler won the election. It's completely obviously not true that a single google result will dispel it in five seconds, but people still confidently assert it like the KPD were spoilers. I need to assume that it's intentional deceit at this point.

    Edit: Their symbol for the politics com being an "I voted" sticker that says "VOTE" is just perfect, btw

              Holy shit, this one reply you got is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever read lmao

              What you call a ‘Process of Material Reality’ could as easily be called G*d or the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

                I had to log off, I was getting genuinely upset. It doesn't get better, they get even worse

                On the other hand... tagline?

                Here it is:

                "When could we have voted for a 90% tax rate?"

                Eisenhower's presidency did see some tax rates above 90%, but that figure only applied to the individual income taxes of top earners. For married people filing jointly in 1953, for example, any income above $200,000 was taxed at 90%, above $300,000 at 91%, and above $400,000 at 92%.

                For someone who claims to know a lot about history, you sure are short on facts.

                And if history is a 'physical process' post some pictures of it working. Not pictures of people doing things, because that would prove my point. A discrete physical embodiment of history, please.

                    If I'm being generous, I legitimately think they just have no clue what I am getting at by trying to baby step them through Historical Materislism, and can't fathom the idea that Great Man Theory is wrong.

                    They're so cooked I walked away, it was beyond medium-rare, beyond well-done, call that congratulations.

                  And if climate change is a 'physical process' post some pictures of it working. Not pictures of extreme weather events happening, because that would prove my point. A discrete physical embodiment of climate change, please.
