I’d say austerity for at least a couple years with massive spending towards the us and military. I dont think we will see fascism again as it was back then. Its probably more a toned down, stupider version like the us.
It’s hard to say. I don’t think anybody expected 1930s style fascism before it got into motion either. These things can take on a life of their own very quickly. What we’ll see is that repression is going to increase in response to public discontent. We already see this happening both in the US and the EU. We’re seeing militarization of police, mass surveillance, bans on political speech, widespread censorship, and so on. All of that will continue to be cranked up, and that’s how you end up with full blown fascism in the end. The US is just at the start of the road, it’s going to keep getting worse with each and every year. Europe is sure to follow.
Thats an interesting yet harrowing perspective. It feels like the US is already becoming kind of unruly as the people start protesting en masse.
Germany didnt protest hitler. They loved him. There are many interviews from before and after where people were frenetically in love with him. The us back then had its own dictator with near totalitarian power and nobody was against that either. They even had concentration camps with japanese people in it.
I think its very different know. We cant say people are terribly resolute but the mere flow of information is manyfold and the reaction albeit being disorganized or misguided is there.
Maybe some history buffs can fill in the blanks here?
