Through book 2. Big takeaways:

1. Racism and fascism can both grow very large while charading as something less sinister.

2. Limiting the power of the federal government and specifically the executive branch is important.

3. People will compromise on a lot of morals to obtain economic security.

4. Hitler was the smartest idiot to ever live

Just got the rundown of pre-WWII Russia-German relations. Oh my! As if I needed more reason to dislike Stalin. And Hitler. The last 200 pages were some of the most impactful history I’d never heard. Crazy things going on between the second and third most murderous regimes in history.

Busy work week slowed my pace, but going on vacation today. Maybe by the end of the week I can get to 50%!

Britain and France are so peace loving that they won’t stand up to Hitler’s games. Geopolitics are like dating: sometimes small justified conflicts are necessary to avoid an eventual world war

The nazis just ran off all the professors who refused to incorporate their race-theory into their fields. They said any study of physics, chemistry or mathematics that fails to be racially-aware is problematic.

One among many historical examples of why contentious sociological ideologues shouldn’t try to alter STEM curriculum. Counterexamples welcome!

Low key cause-in-fact of Hitlers rise: the abuse of executive action preceding his taking office. Separation of powers is key, and a critical part of our govt.

Here’s a political opinion for all of goodreads to see - I don’t like when the executive branch tries to create legislation (or when the legislative branch tries to do the work of the judicial, which also happens).

Marxism-Leninism and Naziism are often spun as opposite ends of a spectrum, yet they end at the same place (mass murder). Interestingly, this book has convinced me they also start at the same place.

Maybe the longest book I’ve ever started. See you in like 2 months goodreads! (Not entirely true - I’ll probably read a couple shorter books as I read this)
