Here’s a copy and paste from the 1933 article:
Rise in Stocks Reflects Confidence He Will Not Disrupt Nation’s Affairs
Berlin is settling down to pass judgment on political developments. Politicians, economists and bankers declare there is usually wide discrepancy between the speeches of opposition politicians and the actions of the group when it gains power.
Consequently, it is not believed that Hitler will accomplish a change in the constitution or that [Reich Minister of Economics Alfred] Hugenberg will bring about a general reduction of interest rates. The government wants to obtain an adjournment of the Reichstag for several months, but it is questionable whether the Centre [Party] will approve of such action.
It’s not the same! Hitler tried to overthrow the government with Beerhall Coup before! Wait…
Ignore the curbing of your own freedoms! We are stomping on the necks of the people you irrationally fear and that is all that matters! History does not repeat but boy does it rhyme.
Mussolini is one of the most cultured men in Italy[…]

Yeah; it was after that article where he got a brain worm and went crazy
God dammit history
Hear that guys? Everything is going ho be fiiiiiine! We’re safe in Hitlers hands. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m quite rich. I have a ticket aboard an airship. I’m sure you’ve never heard of a zepplin. It’s like an air balloon, but way cooler. It’s called the “Hindenburg”!
Unfortunately your fictional rich guy probably survives, since the majority of the Hindenburg’s passengers survived.
Ultimately the deregulation they want will lead to people riding giant gas bombs across the ocean. History is just waiting to repeat itself.
I heard Germany had really bad inflation before Hitler. Since we’ve seen so much inflation lately, has anyone considered bringing Hitler back?
The german book and movie “Er ist wieder da” (He’s back) is exactly about that. Just before his death, Hitler is transported through space and time to 2010s Berlin and quickly takes the country by storm again. The kicker: A lot of the scenes are just with real people interacting with the Hitler actor in full costume and the things they say and do is unbelievable. It really shows there’s a Hitler in every single one of us and if he really returned, it would likely play out exactly like that. I cannot recommend it enough.
I agree and will add that the book and the film are distinct in their ways, but both worth trying.
Yeah its not gonna be okay
Hey, those assholes are ripping off our present to fill their history!
As long as they don’t take our cathedrals…
or that [Reich Minister of Economics Alfred] Hugenberg will bring about a general reduction of interest rates
Huh, I wonder how long we’ve been complaining about interest rates. Maybe there’s a clay tablet out there complaining that mortgage rates are too high lol

that’s just copium by them
People will make parallels with Hitler’s election and of Trump’s, but I never heard anyone say Trump will keep the status quo (i.e. the constitution) to save stocks.
Trump and his crony “justices” wipe their ass with the constitution.
Well here is the CEO of Blackstone saying Donald trump will save the stocks because a vote for him is a vote for change
- I believe he is saying Donald changing whatever, will be mighty good for the oligarchs he represents.
