    Refresh my memory. How long were they boasting that the Third Reich would last?

      There are many counterexamples to the third reich. China and Russia have been police states for a long time, with no end in sight.

        Both Russia and China have long histories of centralized authority.

        Most western powers have been comparatively short lived, constantly expanding and fragmenting into new power structures. That includes the US, which has always had back and a forth infighting between state level and federal powers. I give the current regime a decade more (they have been building up for decades) due to speed running the few things they could use to placate the populace into the ground.

      They said they would be guardians of power for a thousand generations. It lasted 12 years. So given that it’s this year theyre going full nazi, you can expect them out in 2037.

        So they lasted less than a thousandth of the length of time that they chipped about.

        Therefore, we should always disregard the boasting of fascists.

        There are parallels, but Hitler wasn’t an elderly incontinent man with dementia. While both men are fucking idiots, one of them had functioning short term memory, and was able to not shit himself.

        Also, have you given any sort of thought to how many firearms are floating out there in civilian hands?

    If I was paid by putin to say dumb shit on the internet, specifically designed to make people feel bad and assist idiots, I might say exactly this.
