I heard that this was trending on Twitter but can't see any posts. So I assume Twitter deleted them. Anyone know what this is about?

The Weimar Republic existed. Then it printed so much money you could use an eighteen wheeler's container full of cash to buy a loaf of bread. By the time you bought the bread, it would be more expensive than that.

More parallels than just that. Weimar was extremely, disgustingly degenerate. Almost everything awful happening today got it's first trial run in Weimar Berlin. Pornography sold for children's consumption? Yup. "'Financial elites'" raping the middle/working classes? (often literally) You betcha. Promoting transgenderism? Damn straight.

It was all so bad that people voted for Hitler just to escape it.

Thanks. Well, then I can see the parallels.
