Do you actually know how carefully Goebbels designed his propaganda machine or how closely the educational system, the media, and the entertainment world were controlled and designed to create what I have described down to the aesthetic? a How is this different from what I said that you just agreed with, Angela? Nazism took advantage of what the German people were involved in and institutionalized it, based their propaganda on it, distorting it wildly in the process. That could have been done with *any* cultural phenomenon to end up with a fascistic dictatorship.
