Nazi Germany built it's regime through direct control of the media and censorship of anyone or any idea that challenged their ideology.

I'm not sure propaganda that ignores the power of propaganda is a great idea.

Ah, but how exactly did the Nazis reach that point when they didn't have that capability? Perhaps... the things in the video?

Compare: "This video on pulling weeds is useless, because after the tree has grown it has a mighty root-system."

Making media != direct control of the media

These days there is social media. Controlled by whom? A handful of billionaires.

This is important for everyone here to watch. A divided house does not stand, and if you haven't noticed, it's getting more divided every day. Don't be a sucker, don't let them divide us.

For perspective, we now have masked agents roaming the streets kidnapping people in broad daylight. In the United States. Think about how fast this came.

EDIT: Why not have a conversation instead of downvoting. What did I say is wrong?

What has this to do with one another? This video doesn't advocate for censorship of the media.

the people who need to watch this aren't likely on HN or critically thinking about any of this.
